We operate along a fault line —
between cinema and visual art,
between analog and digital,
between the archive and what hasn't even been named yet.
We're drawn to cinema outside industries, outside
hegemonies, outside formulas —
cinema that doesn't ask for permission,
cinema that doesn't explain itself,
cinema that disrupts your gaze before you can put it back
together.
We bring together practices that resist categorization.
We don't select by names, technologies, or biographies.
It doesn't matter whether a work was shot on Arri, on
16mm, or generated.
Whether it's toured every major festival or disappeared
somewhere online.
We care about one thing only — what you do with the image,
and how far you're willing to go.
Who is even interested in reality?
So we keep filming.
We keep looking —
into ruins,
into archives,
into digital debris,
into noise,
into darkness —
where it becomes impossible to say who is the author and
who is the viewer.
This year's theme is Unfinished
Assembly —
a turn toward what was never brought together, or what has
fallen apart, toward what institutions failed to contain
or chose to ignore.
If you make films that don't fit,
if familiar forms feel too narrow,
if you want to challenge the image rather than serve it —
this is for you.
If you're a viewer tired of recognition
and ready to truly see for the first time —
this is for you too.
This isn't just a festival.
It's an attempt not to disappear together —
and, along the way, to imagine a different future and a
different past.
