The Rencontres Internationales invite accredited professionals to an informal get together with artists and directors over a late breakfast.

The changes coming about in the world of contemporary audiovisual creation and different cinematographic practices, the usage of the web in these practices and the introduction of media practices into the digital realm, all appear to be much more than just an aesthetic movement, but rather a profound change related to a whole new paradigm.
During this discussion, different points of view will be presented along with concrete examples. The participants will offer their interpretation of these changes and talk about what is at state, in their view.
Two central points will guide this discussion :
-Festivals and centers for contemporary art as a space for reflection and a structure of support for emerging artistic forms (moving image, media art, net art).
-The evolution of festivals and centers for art in relation to the evolution of cultural practices and audiences.
The list of participants to be announced soon on our website
