SIMULTAN is an annual festival for video and new media art, which takes
place in May, in Timisoara, Romania.

Simultan is a platform for the development of audio-video concepts,
wishing to support and promote the new movements and trends in
contemporary culture, like the digital media, the video art and the
experiment in sound and electronic music.

forms of artistic expression by using the new media.
