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.

ACTION FILMS
Kurt Kren
Austria, 2004
Avant-garde

Kurt Kren and his films had considerable influence on the production of avant-garde films in Austria. His editing style of using short shots in particular, which he employed in 1964 and 1965 while filming actionbs by Otto Mühl and Günter Brus, had an extremly long-term effect on the filmic thought. In contrast to Kubelka, Kren entered into direct and aggressive competition with the subject, which could honestly claim to possess more independence as an art form than some interchangeable segments of reality.
Apart from the formal intensity, there is also a ‘documentary’ dimension in Kren’s films that cannot be discounted. In terms of creating lasting and quite moving image-crystals from fleeting, everyday moments, he has few peers among filmmakers. Peter Tscherkassky
