The concept that launched the Pärnu Film and Video Festival in the 1990s was to lose the defined and institutional borders between film and video art, narrative and conceptualism, professionals and profane ones, artists and cinema freaks. This energetic pluralism on a small territory – refuting and clearing out hierarchies, defining common grounds or confrontation – was a new thing in Estonia at the time and was met with incredible reactions, when viewed in retrospect. A whole new concept was formed for this purpose – the ‘fideo festival’.
The aim of the Pärnu Film and Video Festival – FIDEOFESTIVAL has been to map the Estonian audiovisual landscape (film, video art, documentary anthropology, and virtual media) and offer insights into what happens in the rest of the world on a non-commercial experimental level.
