This section features avant-garde and experimental films that push the boundaries of cinema and bring it closer to contemporary art. They look as much at home in museums and galleries, as they do in cinemas.
The program is organized in collaboration with Moscow International Experimental Film Festival.
Moscow International Experimental Film Festival was established in 2016 with a strong aspiration to create a new cultural institution that would provide a close look at a wide range of experimental practices with the moving image. MIEFF is an international showcase platform welcoming up-and-coming as well as experienced filmmakers from around the world and will lay the foundation for a new generation of artists in our country, facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue, and engage a wider creative young audience with this brave approach to seeing things differently in film.
