[FORUM]

2-4 JULY
14:00 > 16:00

Each day, a professional from France or Germany will present his or her work within a structure or institution, and will transmit practical information and ideas on questions linked to the production and distribution of works of art.
The presentations will be followed by a discussion and a meal with the participating artists.
This forum will also provide a chance to witness the differences and similarities between the situations in France and Germany, and will therefore take on a Franco-German tone.

[DISCUSSION PANEL]

SATURDAY, JULY 5 & SUNDAY, JULY 6

Fluctuating boundaries between visual arts and cinema
On the stakes, questions, and problems connected to programming using new audiovisual forms, between the domains of contemporary art and cinema.
Now that museums and centers for contemporary art are opening up to cinema, and now that many visual artists appropriate, question and integrate cinema and its codes into their work, what are the relationships between the domain of cinema and new, contemporary audiovisual forms ?
More and more spaces for cinematic broadcasting have been using the work of visual artists in their programming, as well as that of videofilm makers, who are linked more to the visual arts than to the domain of cinema. From a theoretical viewpoint, we must ask, why take these directions in programming, and from a practical one, what are or might be the results of such choices ? Both for the public and the critics’ reception, and for the production itself ?
Two debates will lead us to confront these questions, from two different or complementary angles, where each participant will bring a specific perspective connected to his/her life or professional experience.
The first debate will provide a chance to observe similarities and differences between the situations in Germany and France, and will thus take on a more Franco-German tone.
