PARIS/BERLIN/MADRID
In 2007, the 'Rencontres Internationales', which initially took place in
Paris and Berlin, opened up to a third city: Madrid. This event now
constitutes a unique artistic and cultural platform in Europe where artists
can meet, to exchange with a wide audience, to develop new projects. The
venues in the three cities are in particular the Centre Pompidou and the
Jeu de Paume national museum in Paris, the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in
Berlin, the Reina Sofia national museum and the Spanish Cinematheque in
Madrid.

The 'Rencontres Internationales' offers more than a simple presentation of
the works. They introduce an intercultural forum gathering various guests
from all over the world - artists and filmmakers, institutions and emerging
organizations - to testify of their reflections and of their experiences,
but also of artistic and cultural contexts that are often experiencing deep
changes.
The 'Rencontres Internationales' reflects specificities and convergences of
art practices between new cinema and contemporary art, explores emerging
media art practices and their critical purposes, and work out this
necessary time when points of view meet and are exchanged.
The event aims at presenting those works to a broad audience, at creating
circulations between different art practices and between different
audiences, as well as creating new exchanges between artists, filmmakers
and professionals.
It wishes to contribute to a reflection on our contemporary culture of
image via a demanding program opened to everyone.
