The 4th edition of (S8) Mostra de Cinema Periférico, to be held next June 5-8 in A Coruña, Spain, focuses this year on Argentinian experimental cinema: several programmes, curated by Pablo Marín and Magdalena Arau, will center on the history of Argentinian experimental film (Phanton Anthology, featuring the works of Narcisa Hirsch, Horacio Vallereggio, Jorge Honik & Laura Abel or Gabriel Romano); the work of Super8 filmmakers Pablo Mazzolo, Sergio Subero and Pablo Marín; and a selection of amateur and domestic cinema. Claudio Caldini, the legendary S8 filmmaker will be present to introduce a retrospective of his films both in single channel and expanded versions, including his latest works H R Z N T (2011), Fantasmas Cromáticos (2012) and Tamil Nadu View (2010); and also to conduct a workshop on multiple projection and expanded cinema. Fernando Martín Peña and Fabio Manes, directors of the TV programme “Filmoteca, Temas de Cine” will present a selection of rarely-seen films, from early silent movies to the work of the recently deceased filmmaker Leonardo Favio. Last but not least, the section Sinais will focus on the work of Galician artists Lois Patiño and Miguel Mariño.

The 2nd edition of (s8) Mostra de Cine Periférico (June 2-5, A Coruña, Spain) continues its exploration of 'peripheral cinema' and small gauges. Among the many highlights of this year's edition are the screening of the recently discovered 'complete' version of Fritz Lang's Metropolis, that will open the festival; screenings and performances by Guy Sherwin and Zoe Beloff; several curated programmes of contemporary super8 films; and installations by Left Hand Rotation and Vari Caramés.

In collaboration with CGAI and La Casa Encendida (Madrid), the festival will present the programme 'Heaven on Earth', with monographic screenings of Nathaniel Dorsky, Zoe Beloff, Phil Solomon and Robert Beavers. The full programme will be announced soon.
