Collage or compilation. Found footage film or recycled cinema. Remix or détournement. Whatever one might call it, the practice of incorporating preexistent media into new artworks engenders novel juxtapositions, new ideas, and latent connotations… often entirely unrelated to the intentions of the original makers. In that regard, such works are truly “inappropriate.” Indeed, the act of (in)appropriation can reveal unimagined relationships between past and present, here and there, intention and subversion, artist and critic, and perhaps even compel us to reexamine what it means to be the "producer" or "consumer" of visual culture itself.

The first edition of Seek the sun, online experimental film festival, will present "young creation" (from 20 to 72 years old) on its own website, whose address will be disclosed, June 1st at 17:00 ; a surprise film will be released in live on the FB page of Seek the sun. Stay tuned !

United by the experimental content they bring to the table, these change makers steer themselves according to the free interpretation they inspire in the eyes they prepare. If their aesthetic differs, they’ve still got the invitation for the journey in common. It’s not just about invoking the first and physical meaning of this movement, but rather letting yourself be guided by the call to the intrinsic feelings when each of us lets go.
