Seleção UnArchive Found Footage Film Fest Special Session

In a historical moment in which the reuse of images gives rise to higly experimental cinematographic horizons, creating new projects from archive fragments encourages the expressive research of film-makers and video artists, animators and performers, archivists and art curators, in a cross contamination of languages and practices that results in surprising film forms.

An aesthetic and technological revolution in which found footage increasingly takes on the traits of a pervasive and manifold experience, which raises new questions about the meaning of images and of life.

UnArchive Found Footage Fest wants to investigate and accompany the public through these expressive horizons, revealing a composite audio-visual scenario, often highly performative, in which the notions of audio-visual creation and fruition are reformulated through interdisciplinary and intercultural dialogues that are increasingly alive, open and regenerating.

UnArchive Found Footage Fest is promoted and organized by the Audiovisual Archive of the Democratic and Labour Movement
