Presented only in theatres
FIFA EXPÉRIMENTAL is an out-of-competition, by-invitation section of the festival put together by visual and media arts curator Nicole Gingras, from Montreal. This selection highlights innovative approaches to film and video from the following angles: creative processes, modes of collaboration between artists in the production of a work, the workings of memory on identity, and the place of the individual in society. This ambitious panorama of exploratory cinema is composed of twenty-four works assembled into four programs. Each film, each video, bears a unique signature, and all the artists are privileged witnesses and revealing agents of their time and the events that shape it.
Based on listening, the FIFA Expérimental – LES IMAGES TREMBLENT / DISQUIETED IMAGES program reveals the extent to which the experience of a place bears deeply buried memories, which can only be deciphered through their resonance. Each artist has a privileged relationship with one of these places, which are highly charged with ecological, political, perceptual, personal, or emotional connotations.
