Founded in 2014 by Alessandra Bergamaschi and Vanina Saracino, OLHO is a curatorial project whose aim is to research and explore the relationship between contemporary video artworks and Cinema. The aim is to research, analyze and finally bring together, in carefully curated sequences, video works that rethink the language of Cinema. The screenings bring together works that stand out in the international panorama of contemporary art and engage in a direct or dialectical manner with cinema. OLHO is an invitation to reflect upon the various different visual narratives that have developed in response to moving images and to relish in the powerful, aesthetic, immersive experience of the movie theatre.

The Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi presents a roundtable dedicated to the moving image and a selection of video works that were presented by OLHO in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro and São Paolo:
