For the first time, in the organization of the International Multimedia Art Festival - IMAF, there is an unexpected change in the very concept of presentation and creation of works. The IMAF festival is a manifestation known for the works of artists whose works were created live, during the realization of multi-day programs. After twenty-one years, the IMAF festival is facing an insurmountable obstacle, an obstacle in the form of emergency measures throughout the country, adopted to prevent the spread of coronavirus. This year's IMAF festival, the 22nd in a row, is embarking on a new adventure, going into the realm of virtual reality. The entire program of this year's festival, from September 4th, to 9th, will be presented online. We hope that this unwanted transformation will bring some new quality, by digitizing the body and spirit, in the unexplored spaces of the virtuality of social networks.

We do not rule out the possibility that these measures of the authorities will be abolished in the near future. Then it would be possible to realize the IMAF 2020 festival in normal circumstances. In that case, the IMAF 2020 festival would be held on schedule, from September 4th to 6th. The live program would be held with performances by local authors and hopefully with some projects by artists from abroad. The live program of the festival would be held in Odzaci (Motel "Sumice") and Novi Sad (SULUV Gallery).
