Les Rencontres Internationales

Haus der Kulturen der Welt - HKW, Berlin

Contemporary visual culture occupies the interface between aesthetic, social and political issues and adapts to the continuing development of production and dissemination technologies. The Rencontres Internationales offers a future-oriented way of observing these practices.

After Paris last December at Gaîté Lyrique, Les Rencontres Internationales will offer during 6 days a space for discovery and thought covering the fields of new cinema and contemporary art.

In the presence of artists and filmmakers from all over the world, the event will offer an international program gathering 110 works from 40 countries, internationally-known artists and filmmakers and young artists and filmmakers presented for the first time in Berlin.

Among the 110 programmed films and videos, often in German Première: Sandro Aguilar (pt), Jane and Louise Wilson (uk), Thom Andersen (us), Knut Asdam (no), Christian Barani (fr), Magnus Bärtås (se), Neil Beloufa (fr), Laurence Bonvin (ch), Manon De Boer and George Van Dam (be), Sebastian Diaz Morales (ar/nl), Clemencia Echeverri (co), Kevin Jerome Everson (us), Christoph Girardet (de), Maj Hasager (dk), Isabelle Hayeur (ca), Aglaia Konrad (be), Masbedo (it), Carlos Motta (co), Hans Op De Beeck (be), Cristina Picchi (it), Kerstin Schroedinger and Mareike Bernien (de), Hannes Schüpbach (ch), Lina Selander and Oscar Mangione (se), Deborah Stratman (us), Salla Tykkä (fi), Eduardo Williams (ar).

Les Rencontres Internationales offers more than just a simple presentation of the works. It introduces an intercultural forum gathering various guests from all over the world - artists and filmmakers, institutions and emerging organizations - to testify of their reflections and their experiences, but also of artistic and cultural contexts that are often undergoing deep changes. Les Rencontres Internationales reflects specificities and convergences of artistic practices between new cinema and contemporary art, explores emerging media art practices and their critical purposes, and makes possible a necessary time where points of view meet and are exchanged.

The Opening night on Tuesday, June 23. Les Rencontres Internationales invites you to discover a surprise programme gathering 5 rare films and videos shown as German Première.
