Ibrida Festival 2025 – Visual Identity and Animations by Gianluca Abbate

Ibrida Festival 2025 | Visual identity and animations created by Gianluca Abbate for the international video art and experimental cinema festival: illustrated posters, graphic compositions with organic elements, typographic solutions, and looped video works for social media.

Visual Identity
Ibrida Festival 2025
Theme: Multitude

Here I present the visual identity I created this year for the Ibrida Festival of video art and experimental cinema. It has been a great honor for me to design the image of an event I deeply care about, marking my second collaboration with the festival after a few years.
Each edition, an invited artist is asked to interpret the theme chosen by the festival directors, Davide Mastrangelo and Francesca Leoni. For 2025, the theme is Multitude, and I was asked to translate it into an image.

My idea was to visualize a multitude of bodies, specifically arms and hands, almost forming a moving sculpture. In recent times my research has been strongly focused on the body, and I worked in this direction: a multitude of arms floating together, suggesting the presence of a single invisible body.
Following a suggestion by Davide Mastrangelo, I integrated a floral element into these “living sculptures,” enriching the image with new symbolic and visual possibilities.
I sincerely thank the festival once again for this collaboration.
On this page you will find a selection of both static and moving materials that document the project.

Animated Posters

Here is a variation of the animated posters. In my way of working, I always start by thinking in motion and only afterwards extract a still frame. This approach comes from my background, and it works to my advantage: when it’s time to create the animation, the element is already there, ready to move.

Horizontal Formats

Here is a very wide horizontal cut of the visual, designed to be adapted for other horizontal formats.
