La editorial Paris Expérimental—creada en 1985— se ha convertido en un peculiar lugar de encuentro entre el cine experimental y su historia. Esta casa editorial, con unas cincuenta publicaciones y eventos de referencia, ha contribuido en Francia al conocimiento y reconocimiento de formas cinematográficas experimentales, a menudo marginalizadas. El programa, que festeja los 30 años de la editorial, ofrece al público la ocasión de recorrer su historia en compañía de su fundador, Chistian Lebrat, y de distintos autores (Dominique Noguez, Érik Bullot…) reunidos en torno a las obras publicadas por Paris Expérimental y una selección de películas de las colecciones del Centre Pompidou.

Four great figures dominate the history of Paris Expérimental. Those of Peter Kubelka, Jonas Mekas, Maurice Lemaître and Stan Brakhage. They are widely represented in the exhibition devoted to the editions held simultaneously in the premises of the Kandinsky Library on the 3rd floor of the Centre Pompidou.

Over sixty authors published by Paris Experimental; Prosper Hillairet, co-founder of the editions, will pay tribute on this day to the rigor of Alain Virmaux, while Dominique Noguez, who accompanied the editions since almost their inception will present some UFOs. Not having among us P. Adams Sitney, key figure, some authors confirmed and younger authors also make us discover their passion for cinema.
