2010 Emerging Video-Cinema Creation

International festival of audiovisual programs

To promote new talents, Pépinières européennes pour jeunes artistes are particularly attentive to the experiences led by a young generation of artists, at the crossing of cinema and art video. Their own view of our world and the shifts or gaps they create with singularity participate in the renewal of cinematic expression.

This year, rather than offering the audience to discover the abundance provided by this young generation, with a profusion of short films, they chose to present four films that reflect this diversity of approach. They have pointed out that if digital technologies offer a tremendous freedom to explore image and editing, the artist's topic, her/his look, the way she/he plays with codes of dramaturgy, relation to time, rhythms and image processing, are nonetheless essential to invent new forms of film writing.

Four artists, four approaches using different treatments, four singular, sensitive, involved and personal looks in order to show the vitality and the interest of its emerging new writing.
