About AV Festival
AV Festival is an international festival of electronic arts, featuring visual art, music and moving image. A biennial event, the festival takes place in the urban centres of Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland and Middlesbrough in the North East of England. The festival consists of commissions, exhibitions, concerts, performances, film screenings, workshops and debate at many of the region's outstanding cultural venues and public sites.
The next AV Festival will take place in March 2010, and will be based around the central theme of Energy. It will explore energy as a force through which all of life is connected, transformed, renewed and destroyed.
