Video Art and Visual Essay with Gustav Bengtsson

Join Swedish-Berlin-based filmmaker, video artist, and social anthropologist Gustav Bengtsson for a thought-provoking and immersive Experimental Film Workshop exploring the boundaries of video art and the visual essay. Designed for creatives, students, and practitioners interested in the intersections of film, art, and research, this three-part session offers a rare opportunity to learn directly from a multidisciplinary artist with international experience in both academia and cinema. Bring your camera, or just your phone, and discover how you can engage with video as a conceptual and personal medium, bridging research, emotion, and art.
