Split Videoart Festival is a festival and exhibition of film and video art in Split, Croatia, that takes video work into public space: screenings and installations are set up in galleries, cultural venues and other unconventional locations around the city. First held in October 2020, it selects work with a recognisable authorial aesthetic and individual viewpoint, from experimental and animated pieces to hybrid, documentary and essay films. A main programme of single-channel videos and installations up to 15 minutes runs alongside a special programme for longer and multi-channel work, and a jury awards a Grand Prix and special mentions.

The last edition, billed as an antiwar edition, took place on 21–26 October 2022 at venues including Proculture's House of Language and Culture at the Peristyle, and included a selection curated by the International Coalition of Cultural Workers Against the War in Ukraine.
