Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin/Madrid

Haus der Kulturen der Welt - HKW, Berlin

From June 29 to July 4, 2010, the "Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin/Madrid" will create a space of discovery and reflection between new cinema and contemporary art in Berlin at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt.

In the presence of 100 artists and filmmakers from all over the world, this rare event will propose an international programme of film, video, multimedia. It includes 24 screenings with film premieres and a video program, a multimedia concert, a cycle of debates and panel discussions. A video library will offer a space where the whole programming can be viewed and reviewed on request.

This year's programme has been selected from 5500 submissions as well as by invitations made to some artists and filmmakers. It is the result of an elaborate international search for works: 150 works from Germany, France, Spain and 50 other countries, gathering internationally-known artists and filmmakers with young artists and filmmakers presented for the first time.

DEBATES / FORUM
The Rencontres Internationales invites filmmakers, curators, artistic directors and programmers from European and extra-European national museums, contemporary art centres and biennales in contemporary cinema, video and new media. The debates aim to further analyze the concerns and leads in each country, in order to discuss this creation and accompany it, as much from a critical point of view, than from the point of view of the public and the artists.
