Since 1997, the Rencontres
Internationales has existed as an interdisciplinary project designed
to promote new cinema, video and multimedia.
Each year, in Paris, Berlin and Madrid, the event presents an international
programme focused on contemporary moving images which brings together well-known directors on the international
scene, along with young artists and film makers whose work has not been
widely distributed.
The Rencontres Internationales hope to bring contemporary works of art
to a wide audience, to facilitate movement between the different creative
spheres and to communicate this to the audience, to create dynamic exchanges
between artists, directors, and those participating in artistic and cultural
life.
Every year, a call for entries is
open to all for each cycle of programming.
• The event hopes to facilitate the circulation of different creative contemporary practices among different audiences, different artists and directors, among different geographical, artistic and cultural spaces in Paris, Berlin and Madrid. Today, these two cities benefit from a positive difference allowing an approach to significant elements in our society, a greater understanding of current trends in artistic and cultural contexts, a greater understanding of the prizes at stake.
• In keeping with the precedent set by previous events, we want, since 1997, to centre the event on contemporary creation, presenting works that, effectively, integrate the themes and languages of different areas of expression, questioning the image and its relationship with time and space by investigating the languages of cinema, audio-visual and plastic arts, a questioning in act.
• Bringing
these works together makes an active laboratory that we would
like to explore and help others to discover. By bringing together
the diverse means of creation and their respective audiences,
and allowing them to communicate, the Rencontres Internationales
Paris/Berlin become an open event in which the specificities and
correspondence of languages and sights can emerge from the evolving
contemporary production.
• For
the next Rencontres Internationales, we hope once again to open up a new space for
exchanges and meetings between different artistic language forms
and different audiences. |

The programming of the Rencontres internationales Paris/Berlin is put together from a cross-section of different spheres, genres and media, covering themes, questions, tone, and openness to dialogue.
• The film and video part of the programme bring together short, medium and full-length films, experimental movies, video art, documentaries, animation films, on super 8, 16 mm, 35 mm and video. The Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin present films by independent directors, film school students, directors who are not working as part of any institutional network, 'traditional' production films, as well as films created by well known artists and directors who, by their approach, commitment and research, participate actively in the development of the visual arts. .
• The multimedia part of the programme includes performance art, live concerts, installations, online works, net art... The contribution of all of these different languages is one of considerable importance. The simultaneous presence of a range of different multimedia arts allows for the film and video screenings to be resituated in a larger context, one in which the visual arts are always in the process of becoming.
• Daily panel discussions and debates bring together artists and filmmakers, institutions, creative organizations and distributors, opening up a space for meeting and reflexion with the audience.
