The ‘Rencontres Internationales’ offer more than a simple
presentation of the works. They introduce an intercultural forum
gathering various guests from all over the world - artists and
filmmakers, institutions and emerging organizations - to testify of the
vivacity of creation and its distribution, but also of the artistic and
cultural contexts that often are experiencing deep changes.
The event reflects specificities and crossings of art practices
between new cinema and contemporary art, explores media art practices
and their critical purposes, and work out this necessary time when
points of view meet and are exchanged.
The event aims at presenting those works to a broad audience, at
creating circulations between different art practices and between
different audiences, as well as creating new exchanges between artists,
filmmakers and professionals. Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin/Madrid, is an event without competition supported by French, German, Spanish and international cultural institutions.
