Eighteen Norwegian films will be displayed at V.I.P. Art Gallery in Belgrade, Serbia in 10 November 2009, in collaboration with Art Video Exchange.

Mona Bentzen, Margarida Paiva, Oslo, and Bojana Romic, Belgrade, is part of an international network of curators fostering video art exchanges between their countries. In that respect, the ArtVideoExchange-Norway v/Mona Bentzen and Oslo Screen Festival v/Margarida Paiva are invited by ArtVideoExchange-Serbia v/Bojana Romic to display a Norwegian video program and give a lecture about the Norwegian contemporary video art in the V.I.P.Art Gallery in Belgrade, Serbia.

ArtVideoExchange(AVE) is an international exchange program and initiative between curators developed to organize exhibition opportunities for video artists worldwide. By promoting the production and circulation of international video programming AVE works to foster a greater appreciation of video art and an exchange of ideas between artists, curators and audiences worldwide.

The other participant of the program, Oslo Screen Festival is an international festival, which focuses on experimental video works that emphasise emerging poetics of the medium, bringing together established and young artists to present their work to Oslo audiences.
