CINE TRANS EUROPE est le nom de la collaboration - unique en son genre - qui réunit cinq festivals opposant résistance au cinéma qui rebat sempiternellement les mêmes matrices d’émotions et de concepts, réticent, sinon incapable de rompre avec les interprétations dominantes et réductrices. Cette collaboration inaugurée au mois d’avril dernier lors de l’European Media Art Festival d’Osnabrück, se poursuit à Paris lors du prochain Festival Signes de Nuit, où seront présentés, en quatre sections, les courts-métrages de nos partenaires les festivals de Barcelone, d’Amsterdam, de Cork et d’Osnabrück.
