You have a rendezvous with shapes, colours and poetry, on a celluloid journey that takes you straight from daydreams to feverish nightmares. A window into the subconscious of its creators. An experimental film is a project that goes against the grain, generally denying the classical narrative and pushing the medium in unexplored directions. These 29 short and micro-shorts will convince you that the cinematic fringe is alive and well. This programme is co-produced with Montreal's Dérapage festival, a unique audiovisual exploration event created in 2000, which each year invites artists from all disciplines to create non-narrative audiovisual short films. – Marc Lamothe
