What is MOV?

Denver Month of Video (MOV) is a month-long, citywide exhibition and event series held every other year in July, dedicated to showcasing the wide world of video-based art. From video art and video games to live video performance and experimental work, MOV highlights a diverse range of practices and perspectives.

Throughout the month, MOV presents free video exhibitions and screening events across Denver, creating multiple ways for audiences to engage with the work. Whether you're deeply involved in the video art scene or just curious, there’s something for you.

MOV is also a curatorial platform that supports working artists—and that includes paying them for their contributions. We're here to champion the video art community and make it more accessible across the city.

How it works

MOV unfolds across Denver through a variety of experiences. Here’s what to expect:

Events & Screenings
Every Saturday night in July, join us for a unique lineup of live video performances, short film programs, experimental, and documentary works. Each evening is one-of-a-kind—come to one, or come to all.

Exhibitions
Throughout the month, galleries and art spaces across the city will feature video-based installations and media works. These exhibitions invite you to explore video art in its many forms, at your own pace.

Openings & Receptions
Celebrate with us! These one-night gatherings mark the launch of each exhibition, offering a chance to meet the artists, experience the work, and connect with fellow video art enthusiasts.

Founders

We are video artists here in Denver who want to see more video in our city. MOV has been a dream of our for some time now, and we are excited to finally share a whole month of video art with you.


  • Founder/Artist

    Adán De La Garza is an artist, co-conspirator, curator/programmer, and recovering academic. Usually in that order, depending on what job he’s applying for. Adán was a co-conspirator of the media arts exhibition series Nothing To See Here (2013-2016), is the sole member of the anonymous video screening series Collective Misnomer (2016 - present), and smashes a lot of buttons putting on video game exhibitions with Dizzy Spell (2018 - present). Originally from Tucson Arizona, Adán is currently based in Denver, Colorado, where he hates writing in the third person.


  • Founder/Artist

    Jenna Maurice is a video, photo, and performance artist based in Denver, CO. Her work explores relationships—with herself, others, the past, and the landscape—through non-verbal communication and the complicated language of being human. She has degrees, has shown her work around the world, and could list the names—but dislikes when bios turn into a name-dropping contest. She believes that good art doesn’t have an expiration date and also finds writing in the third person kind of unsettling
