The Festival’s externalization was marked by the collaborations with the University of Western Macedonia, the Athens Digital Arts Festival, the Hellenic Electroacoustic Music Composers Association, Drama International Short Film Festival and the Portuguese institute Cultivamos Cultura. AVfest 2021 gave also emphasis to the connection with local artistic and educational institutions such as the Corfu Photography Club and the Corfu Scouts, while the support of the Municipality of Corfu and the Ionian Islands Region was significant. Finally, priceless was the contribution, within the Ionian University, of the OPEN ART program of the Training Center and Lifelong Learning (KEDIVIM) as well as the Art & Science Research Group and the Web Team of the Interactive Arts Laboratory without whose help the online presence of the Festival would not be possible.
