Forum Expanded 2017: The Stars Down to Earth

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 07/02/2017 - 03:58

"The Stars Down to Earth" is the title of this year’s Forum Expanded programme and is taken from the text of the same name by Theodor W. Adorno in which he grapples with the role of the irrational in mass culture. The search for ways to enable art to deal with an increasingly intangible reality forms an essential similarity between the selected works. Bringing one’s gaze back down to earth now seems more necessary than ever before. Yet how can one use film to take hold of something real when that very concept is ever harder to grasp?

The 2nd edition of the Moscow International Experimental Film Festival stands on a ground stone laid in by the first run in July 2016, which has been moulded by the strong support of our multifaceted jury board, collaboration with an array of outsourced talent, gratifying (in both quality and scale) response of the press in Russia and abroad, but most importantly – the engagement of a wider creative young audience with this minor and brave approach in seeing things differently in film.
