The deadline for submissions for Open City Documentary Festival 2018 is May 7th. We're looking for the most exciting and innovative non-fiction storytelling in short, mid-length and feature length documentaries as well as cross-platform projects.
Kort Geknipt (“Cut Short) – later called De Andere Film (“The Other Film)– was a television programme on Belgian television from 1969 until 1976, which showed new, innovative, international, experimental and marginal productions in order to rebel against dominant mainstream narrative cinema. Art Cinema OFFoff revives this programme in honour of this idiosyncratic programme which never eschewed controversy.
This programme offers a series of structural films made by women, working with the 16 mm film support, interspersing optical resources with material solutions.
During the fifth Night of Experimental Film Art Cinema OFFoff again combines avant-garde (silent) film with innovative experimental music based on an overarching theme. This year the night flirts shamelessly with romanticism. The great feelings like Weltschmerz and Sehnsucht, individualism, and the longing for the unknown are back in contemporary alliances between musical impulses and cinematic desires.
These subaquatic visions are proposed as a prelude to the exhibition Né(e)s de l'écume et des rêves (Born of foam and dreams) to be held at the MuMa from May 5 to September 9, 2018.
Dreamlike visions in which indistinct presences appear through the veil of dreams, elusive objects stolen from desire (L'étoile de mer,Alleluia).
