Les Rencontres internationales
January 12th, 2016 - January 17th, 2016
Gaîté Lyrique, 3 bis rue Papin, Paris
Since 1997, Les rencontres internationales have aimed to promote exchanges between different artistic practices linked to the image in motion and between their audiences.
Canada has a prominent role in this new edition of international encounters, with eight works having their French or European premieres, notably the last film by Mike Hoolboom, Scrapbook; a long film by Isiah Medina, 88:88; projected at the Festival del Film Locarno and the Toronto Film Festival this year. His work was discovered by Les rencontres internationales in 2011.
Films by Canadians Velibor Bozovic, Scott Fitzpatrick, Richard Martin, Ocean Falls, Julie Tremble and Nicolas Jenkins will also be shown this year.
