abstracta The Only Festival of Its’ Kind in the World Today
The abstract cinema exhibition carried out in Liege , Belgium , in 1951, organised by artist Jean Raine and film-maker Cobra witnessed the participation of the masters of the cinema of '20s and '30s, Leger, Duchamp, Dulac, Ernst, Veronesi, Len Lye, Richter, Henry Moore and others.

October 12th, 2008, from 10pm to 12pm and October 13th, 2008 from 8pm to 10pm

The members of the International Jury are Americo Sbardella, Chairman (Filmstudio 80, Roma), Vanna Fadini (Link Campus), Pip Chodorov (Revoir, Paris), Gerardo Lo Russo ( Rome - Academy of Fine Arts –Director), Simonetta Lux ( La Sapienza , University of Rome ), Javier Aguirre (Anticine, Madrid ).
The definition of Abstract Cinema given in 1926 by Rudolf Kurtz doesn't seem to describe completely enough this immense conceptual field, however, in substantial agreement with the thesis of Georges Roque (“What Is Abstract Art?,” 2004) and, above all, with the 1951 essay by Jean Raine (“Fondement d'une étude sur le film abstrait”), we have delineated Abstract Cinema as the one "that does not tell stories".
In this way, we have broadened the scope of the conceptual character of the abstract.
Another ambition of the Exhibition is to find a way to enable Abstract Cinema, which has been plundered by fictional cinema, music videos and advertisement, to promote itself as an independent and valuable resource.
