  • CosmiX Festival 2026

    By on

    The experimental in cinema is subversive and has no image but itself. Beyond being personal, artistic, home made, pure, avant-garde, poetic, absurd, underground or metaphoric, the experimental cinema is a game and a mastering of the image as it is. A clearance that refers the movie to its own form and free it from boundaries of the narration to offer a perceptive connection between the film and the public. Clandestine and still too rare on the theatres, those films look at the self matter of the cinema.

    Free submissions
