> works by Peter Hutton, Daichi Saito, James Benning, Jennifer
> Reeves, Ute Aurand, Heinz Emigholz, Chris Chong Chan Fui, among
> many others, and has become a unique forum for international film

> with 6 sold out programmes and unprecedented international press.
>
> As the series is considered curated, there is no official
> submission process, no forms to fill out
> and no entry fee. All previews should be sent by June 1st directly to:
