Hors Pistes, un autre mouvement des images, 7th edition
27 January - 12 February, 2012
Submissions Deadline: October 10, 2011

Since 2006, Hors Pistes has pursued its passion for diversity of forms in contemporary moving images. Screenings, performances, video installations, ephemeral web images: the event offers an international selection of these forms. Hors Pistes exists to showcase visual works investigating the world we live in by challenging narrative forms and remapping the borders between film genres (fiction, documentary, essay...).

Hors Pistes takes place in the cinemas of the Centre Pompidou as well as its exhibition space on the lower floor. The cinemas offer a deliberately eclectic selection of recent films (section1), while the exhibition space centers each year on a new theme relative to visual representation (section 2).

30 showings and one exhibitions
Hors Pistes puts forward 2 sections.
- Section 1: a program of more than 30 showings exploring the new tendencies of contemporary image.
- Section 2: an exhibition around themes closely related to image — this year = ANIMALS
