On Friday, May the 7th, 19:00 (CET), FRACTO is glad to present a special streaming program of found footage films by Joseph Cornell, Matthias Müller, Cécile Fontaine, Naomi Uman and Martin Arnold: ‘DREAM-DELIRIUM-APPARITION’.
After the success of our Bruce Baillie-Chick Strand digital screening, we have decided to hold another streaming event, this time showing work by Chick Strand and Sandra Davis.
We once again ask for a small donation to help us recoup the rental costs. That said, the screening is free for all to enjoy and share. Thank you for your generosity.
Dates:
Thursday, May 14, 2020 (All day) to Thursday, May 21, 2020 (All day)
On April 10th, we received the devastating news of the passing of Bruce Baillie. Baillie was the founder of Canyon Cinema, and co-founder of the San Francisco Cinematheque, alongside Chick Strand, whose film work was highly influential on his own.
Dates:
Thursday, April 30, 2020 (All day) to Wednesday, May 6, 2020 (All day)
This is our POLITICAL STATEMENT. The streaming initiative is not only about sharing or showing films. It is about clarifying how artists need to constantly strive to meet society's demands without giving anything back.
It is with a heavy heart that, due to the corona pandemic and following government guidelines, we must announce the postponement of the fourth edition of FRACTO - Experimental Film Encounter from May to September 2020.
However, on a lighter note, we have extended the deadline for submissions to the 1st of July!
The special programme “Expanded Painlevé”, conceived with guest curator Federico Rossin, combines the films of Jean Painlevé, surrealist poet of wildlife, with those by filmmakers from the American and European avant-garde who have pursued different modes of openness to the animal world.
Between May 23rd and May 26th the third edition of the Experimental Film Encounter Fracto is taking place at Kunsthaus ACUD in Berlin-Mitte. The main programme gathers more than 70 film and video works by artists and filmmakers selected from an international open call that has received more than 800 submissions. The selection will be presented in a series of curated programmes. Some of the filmmakers will be present to talk about their work.
Dates:
Thursday, May 23, 2019 (All day) to Sunday, May 26, 2019 (All day)
