The Festival’s sixth edition saw applicants of superior quality and plenty of experiments combining video and music. “Juliette”, directed by Sandra Kogut and scored by performance artist Fausto Fawcett, was an exemple. His surreal lyrics spoke of “mulata” dancers drowning in tequila on Copacabana beach. The competitive exhibition awarded the “Duelo de deuses” (Duel of gods), a documentary film about the phenomena of “church on TV” and “electronic preachers”, which would continue to spread around the world. TV Cultura came up with the groundbreaking “Videojornal” (Video News): for the first time ever, a TV station broadcast live coverage and featured the Festival winners. Also for the first time, the Festival received international guests. Curator Daniel Minaham, from The Kitchen media center, in New York, brought two special selections to the parallel exhibition. American video artist Aisha Quinn was featured in a retrospective show, with part of the budget provided by Lei Sarney (Sarney Law). Contracts with other media centers awarded scholarships to competitive exhibition winners.
