Moscow International Experimental Film Festival MIEFF will run for the third time in Moscow on September 26-30, 2018. The festival has significantly expanded geography, and this year shows and special events will be held on the most famous venues in Moscow - at the Stanislavsky Electrotheater, Documentary Film Center and the New Space of the Theater of Nations. Also, a special program of shows will be held on the site of the Museum of Modern Art "Garage", which became a strategic partner of the festival this year.

British-Australian live cinema artist Sally Golding, winner of the 2017 Oram Award, and UK electronic musician and creative technologist Spatial work together to create an immersive space situated between cinema and club. Their performances unravel in the spirit of a ‘happening’ – an encounter between audiences, space and the elements of cinematic abstraction – which they explore via their interest in expanded cinema and sound system culture.

Laurence Favre: Digging the Archive

Laurence Favre from Switzerland and living in Berlin, works with photography, film and video on projects. She creates narratives concerned with collective and individual memories, and how they relate to archives or individuals. Found material, 8mm found footage, was a reason for her to visit places, talk to and interview people. In the case of a hospital in South-Africa, a Swiss mission during the time of racial segregation, the construction of a collective memory become problematic, however,  the collection of different stories and divert personal memories may become even more important.
