(S8) Mostra de Cinema Periférico celebrates its seventh edition in A Coruña from June 1 to 5. This time the festival will hold a special edition under the tilte of "New Impressionists", bringing together both emergent and veteran filmmakers whose work engages the experimentation with light and its pictorial qualities. Probing the limits of sensory perception and subjectivity, this group of filmmakers has signed some of the most visually stimulating works made in recent years. This is the case of Canadian filmmaker Stephen Broomer that will present a fine selection of his 16mm works. Films in which the colors and textures evoke the work of the original Impressionists, and in which the author uses fast sweeps, collisions and movements that challenge the eye, and make imagine the filmmaker operating the camera as if you ran a box light with the ways of action painting.

This year's edition of (S8) Mostra de Cinema Periférico (June 4-8, A Coruña, Spain) is focused on Japanese experimental cinema. Renowned filmmaker and artist Takahiko Iimura will be the main protagonist of the festival, with a dedicated programme, a live performance and the installation As I See You See Me. The programme will also feaure screenings by super8 filmmaker Teruo Koike and [+] members Makino Takashi, Shinkan Tamaki and Rei Hayama. 'Through a Rearview Mirror: Japanese Experimental Films Revisited' is the title of the retrospective curated by Doble Negative Collective founder Daïchi Saïto, who will also introduce a programme of his own films.

The Media City Film Festival will be the guest in this edition, where their directors and programmers Jeremy Rigsby and Oona Mosna will present a selection of films from the veteran festival's 20 years of life. The growing expanded cinema section will also include performances by Esperanza Collado, Makino Takashi and the Crater Collective.
