ESMoA Video Art + Film Festival: FREEDOM Screening + Award Ceremony

Friday, September 25, 2026 at 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM

The Wende Museum, Culver City

ESMoA is excited to be partnering with the Wende Museum to bring EVAFF to the A-Frame Theater, part of their new 7,500 sq. ft. Community Center. The project reactivated a long-disused theater into a state-of-the-art space for film, learning, and gathering, and like everything at the Wende, all programming there is free and open to the public. "Wende" is German for "turning point," which makes it a fitting home for a festival built around FREEDOM. Join us for one night of selected shorts across film, animation, and video art, followed by the announcement of this year's awards. Each year's award plaque is designed by a different LA-based artist. Founded in 2017, EVAFF is a free annual international festival open to filmmakers of all ages and experience levels. Each year we invite artists to respond to a single theme in 60 seconds. ESMoA (Experimentally Structured Museum of Art) is a public non-profit run by the artlab21 Foundation in Lawndale, CA. We've hosted over 2,000 free programs and 60+ Experiences, reaching more than 140,000 visitors across LA County. Always free admission, always free programs.
