Video essays, short audiovisual productions that have found their natural habitat on the internet, have become a new and exciting form of film analysis and criticism. How can video essays function as an autonomous alternative for traditional ways of thinking about the audiovisual arts? This programme compiles a variety of video essays that are heading in new and interesting directions. They are introduced by video essayist and film theorist David Verdeure, once in English (15/10) and once in Dutch (17/10).
