The Biennial of Moving Images (or BIM, its acronym in French) first saw the light of day two decades ago in 1985 as the "International Video Week." It is one of the oldest and most important events in Switzerland and Europe to feature artists' videos and films and multimedia works. The Biennial brings together the best of these domains and has enabled us, in the course of its 20 years of existence, to show and in some cases introduce the public to a number of renowned artists. These have included such figures as Bill Viola, Gary Hill, Steina and Woody Vasulka, Robert Filliou, Chris Marker, Guy Debord, Vito Acconci, William Wegman, Bruce Nauman, Chantal Akerman, Rebecca Horn, Jean-Luc Godard, Andy Warhol, Philippe Garrel, Nam June Paik, Laurie Anderson, Artavazd Pelechian, Harun Farocki, and the Straub/Huillet team.
