Cinémas hors circuits

 

Welcome to the Cinémas hors circuits site.

Dedicated to independent cinema, Cinémas hors circuits is a project to highlight the work of independent publishers/distributors, cultural activists without whom many films would have disappeared from memory. As active custodians of a significant part of the cinematic heritage, such publishers have to counter the blockbuster mentality of mainstream distribution and the concentration of distribution networks.

To enable both the general audience and professionals to discover the films such independent publishers promote, and to encourage debate around new challenges and opportunities in publishing, Cinémas hors circuits offers:

a portal for independent publishers
 
a fair: an event entitled Salon du DVD & des éditeurs indépendants de cinéma/The DVD & Independant Publisher's Fair which wich took place in Paris in 2008 and 2009, in Poitiers in 2010 & 2011.

3 EXPERIMENTAL SHORT FILMS
Valie Export
Austria, 2004
Avant garde

Collectively we find three of EXPORT’s boldest works, at once essential viewing for the newcomer and an essential purpose for the more seasoned follower.
They also share a similar thematic ground, each short being autobiographical in nature and concerning itself with the representation of the self. Of course, given that EXPORT is one of the foremost feminist artists of recent times, considerations also extend beyond this to encapsulate the whole female experience. The films are deeply, shockingly personal on the one level, yet also marked by a certain anonymity on another, one renders the onscreen activities less immediately exclusive to EXPORT’s own experiences. Moreover, these are also incredibly intense works, ones which are often difficult to sit through and come to terms with. There’s an aggressive, almost militant quality at play as she sets about asserting herself in (seemingly) the fiercest manner possible. Anthony Nield
