Les Rencontres Internationales will create a space of discovery and reflection focused on new cinema and contemporary art, for 7 days at Gaîté lyrique and Palais de Tokyo.

In the presence of artists and filmmakers from all over the world, this rare event will propose an international programme of film, video, multimedia, gathering 120 works from 40 countries, works by acknowledged artists along with young artists presented for the first time. It includes screenings - Premières, cartes blanches, video programme, etc. -, an exhibition, performances, a day out of town offering exhibition visits through the Ile-de-France Region, and panel discussion in the presence of art centre and museum directors. curators, artists and distributors who will share their experience and concerns about current moving image practices.

Les Rencontres Internationales offers more than just a simple presentation of the works. It introduces an intercultural forum gathering various guests from all over the world - artists and filmmakers, institutions and emerging organizations - to testify of their reflections and their experiences, but also of artistic and cultural contexts that are often undergoing deep changes. Les Rencontres Internationales reflects specificities and convergences of artistic practices between new cinema and contemporary art, explores emerging media art practices and their critical purposes, and makes possible a necessary time where points of view meet and are exchanged.
