We’re on Summer Break!

Written By Michael Workman

Thanks for Tuning In!

As our Spring 2025 season comes to a close, we want to thank everyone who tuned in, shared work, and helped grow Bridge Video into a vital platform for experimental and artist-made moving image work.

This season brought together powerful voices across disciplines—spanning performance, poetry, visual art, and film—and we’re deeply grateful to the artists, curators, and viewers who continue to shape this evolving community.

We’re now on our regularly scheduled summer break and will return with our Fall 2025 season launching August 29, featuring new works, live screenings, and expanded coverage of our unique, under-represented categories of film and practices from across the region and around the world.

Not only will this include a 2026 edition of our celebrated, ever-evolving experiment that is A Festival of Holes, but also our first new forays into original DVD feature film publishing--work only available through Bridge Video. Expect more details later this fall.

As always, thank you for supporting artist-run media. We’re honored to help make space for the kind of risk-taking, independent vision that defines Bridge—and we’re just getting started.

Stay tuned--and subscribe for updates.
