The Light Assembly Video Art & Film Festival, is a showcase of video art and architecture bringing artists a unique new opportunity on the festival scene. Using the gorgeous vistas of Miami Beach as its canvas, Light Assembly projects massive displays of visual art on modern architectural marvels and historic landmarks. The result is a hybrid art form that is equal parts immersive, adventurous, and unforgettable. Unfolding concurrently with Art Basel Miami Beach, Light Assembly invites its visitors to reimagine public spaces, and their place within them, during one of the most acclaimed art expositions in the world.

Light Assembly offers nine categories of submission to talented video artists and filmmakers eager to demonstrate their innovative spirits. Each submission is reviewed by programmers from world-renowned film festivals, the senior film and video curator at the Walker Art Center, and a host of other industry figures. Celebrated storytellers including Miranda July, Steve McQueen, and Julian Schnabel have recently legitimized the crossover from visual art to filmmaking, and Light Assembly is dedicated to helping other talented filmmakers and artists bridge that increasingly narrowing gap.

Light Assembly is proud to offer complimentary accreditation and all-access passes to two representatives from each selected feature, documentary, and short film. Attending filmmakers and guests will enjoy a special networking and VIP party during Art Basel, as well as the opening night reception at the fourth annual Verge Art Fair Miami Beach, an international exposition of new contemporary and emerging art. By participating in Light Assembly, you’ll have access to an incredible array of art and artists that will challenge your perception, shatter convention, and exceed your expectations.
