The debut of VIDEOHOLICA video art festival was held in the
period 8 – 15 August 2008 in Varna within the framework of the

Varna City Radio, the inner courtyard of the City
Gallery of Varna, the inner courtyard of the
Archeological
Museum, the Art Gallery “Active Art”, the small garden behind
the
Puppet Theater, and the inner courtyard of the Art Gallery
“Georgi Velchev”.
