Presentation
- Festival 2010
The 8th International Festival
Signes de Nuit is presenting over thirteen days universal oriented
selections of recent films and audiovisual works mainly independent
filmmakers and artists. The aim of the festival selection has
not changed: showing strange films touching human living condition
and situations in the actual societies, with a preference of particular
cultural spaces. There are two types of globalisation: the "one
culture" option intrudes by the economical fittest and the
other one of joyful affirmation of incomparableness, multiculturalism,
differences and cultural complexities, marked by permanent approaches
and dissociations. Signes de Nuit is working with these struggles
for "another way to be... ".
We welcome our partners and special guests, who have (again) accepted
our modest invitation. All together we have the change to show
a worldwide oriented program of very particular aesthetics and
creations. Beside of the ten programs of the international competition,
the festival offers this year eleven focus programs from Africa,
Asia, Latin America and Europe. Our four European festival partners
from Amsterdam, Barcelona, Cork and Osnabrück are back in
Paris.
Wishing to integrate even more the young public, the festival
wants to create two student juries for the documentary and the
short film section. Between the eight different screening places
three are directly placed in the Cité universitaire, which
kindly has opened up spaces for the Signes de Nuit festival. To
be confronted with another way of seeing and feeling appears to
us as an indispensable base for developing another "sensibility",
for die philosopher Herbert Marcuse the main and only chance for
constructing another society.

11
Focus Programs
Regions Woldwide

From
the 29th March to the 10th April 2010 (see details..;)
The Focus programs of Signes de Nuit
are the attempt to show social phenomena and cultural conflicts,
which constitute the emotional and intellectual relief of
a region or a country. For this reason, we have preferred
the films, which refuse, both in their form and way of expression,
conventional ways of representing reality.

TRANS EUROPE is the name of a permanent partnership
between five festival, which resist to a cinema which keeps
repeating the same kind of emotions and concepts, incapable
to stop with dominating and reductive interpretations.

New
Section:
Documentary Art |
From
29 March to 10 April (see details...)
The
integration of a new section showing the art of documentation
seems an evident step for a festival, which always was interested
in particularities and "sensible" subjects.
Today fictional works have difficulties to imagine, what
is already just going on in the real space. The documentary
view is more then just a representation of the real. It
is the art to evoke the real in a comprimated attitude,
an intensification of our perception and hopefully a stimulation
for our actions. |
