Love Video 2011
Deadline : 28 February , 2011
About 12 years ago we made our first call for entries in search for artists' videos and short films. It was the beginning of home videos and affordable video cameras. During exhibitions, these films were shown on a TV screen or in a screening. They were simple stories, filmed performances, still shots.
Now these films represent a body of 12 thematic programs and include about 100 films screened by the Brigade des Images in France and abroad.
To celebrate these several years of moving images, we are taking up once again our original theme: love video.
In the context of an uneasy political situation, love and cinema are becoming essential and, in spite of the proliferation of mass media and TV channels, last year in France witnessed the highest numbers of movie theatres attendance ever since the 1960s.
The films we are looking for in this new edition will treat the subjects of love and/or cinema, will feature intimate forms of narratives probably reminding us of home videos, will speak of love or its disappearance, and, why not, of politics...
Intimate is quite often political.
This program will be shown in France and abroad starting April 2011, you can visit the following site to find out about screening places:
