The 5th Syros Int'l Film Festival is taking place soon, from July 14-19. This year's program is focused on the theme of "Cracking Up," taking this as a jumping-off point to explore the exuberant, manic, and generative potential of making and watching cinema. We are happy to have Martha Colburn, Nusquam Productions (Mariangela Ciccarello & Philip Cartelli), and Peter Fleischmann as Artists in Focus.

AVANT – Bodies and Boundaries 2017.09.08 – 2017.09.09 Karlstad, Sweden
The 14th edition of AVANT focus on bodies and boundaries. The body is both our most private territory and a social interface, a boundary that both divides and unites. The point of departure of AVANT is in one of the most legendary artists when it comes to the socio-political dimensions of the body, VALIE EXPORT, followed by Jayne Parker’s early performance-based films.
