The gradual development and specialization of video production was clearly reflected in the Festival’s fifth edition. One such example was the presentation of “Uakti”, by Minas Gerais-born Eder Santos, who in the following years would become one of Brazil’s most prominent representative of the electronic art. The video clip, a little over six minutes long, features musicians from the homonymous group blending in with aquarium ornament in a seminal work that combines visual texturing, musicality, and camera interactivity. The award was extended to include technical categories, putting experimental videos and documentary films on center stage. Independent film companies, which by then already sold their work to commercial TV channels, screened a selection of their programmes. The new language made its first appearances on television. The parallel programme brought art work from the United States and Europe to Brazil. TV Cultura provided vast media coverage and a special show, increasing the amount of video broadcasts on television.
