There's no doubting that these days we're surrounded by video content in our day-to-day lives. Whether it's watching short clips from our smartphones, seeing advertising on digital billboards, or even relaxing at home with YouTube, the video medium shows up in many aspects of life. The annual Ebisu Video Festival has been running since 2009, and the 2021 event titled "E-Motion Graphics" will look at the power video has on the viewer's emotions.
The festival will include video from the likes of James Whitney (1921 - 1982) who was seen as one of the greats of abstract cinema, and Petra Cortright, an American digital media artist who is known for presenting works on YouTube.
Admission to the festival is free of charge.
