Let There be Light Cone! 30 years of experimental cinema

Created in 1982 and based in Paris, Light Cone is one of the most important distributors of experimental film in Europe, with a catalogue of more than 3,500 films. This year, Light Cone celebrates its 30th anniversary, and it seemed of the highest importance to acknowledge the organization’s extraordinary work by offering two programs that shed light on the vitality of its collection, the inventiveness of its programming, and the absolute necessity of its existence. In collaboration with the FNC, Hors champ and the Segal Centre’s CinemaSpace. 

COLLECTION VIVANTE / short film program

Curators : Emmanuel Lefrant (Light Cone), Daïchi Saïto (CinemaSpace), André Habib (Hors Champ)

Although the Light Cone catalogue brings together a large number of films from the history of the avant-garde, the collection also contains an important and constantly growing number of contemporary works. This program offers a selection of notable contemporary works in the Light Cone catalogue. The majority of the films in this program have been screened at festivals around the world, including Rotterdam, Toronto, New York and Oberhausen.
