CINETORO EXPERIMENTAL FILM FESTIVAL
looking different
For 2023, the conceptual committee projects CINETORO as a transdisciplinary Festival-school, dedicated to curatorial practice and the training of filmmakers; building bridges between emerging talents and the most outstanding national and international artists and promoting analysis and criticism related to the production and thinking behind experimental cinema.
We understand experimental cinema as one where poetry and plastic arts come together; that traces its limit beyond the perimeter of spectacularity, of technical correctness, of the themes and forms on the agenda. It is an imperfect cinema, which accepts its artisan condition and deals with the recovery of the consciousness of corporeality. At the same time that he reflects, problematizes and questions the construction of the image and conceives the performativity of the images and all of them belong to him because he is his own archive. Cinema with a territorial imprint, which is redesigned, mutates and then, pronounces itself before the world.
Ipiales Cine Sin Fronteras as an audiovisual scenario promotes the development of projects or independent production and supports the production of audiovisual arts, as well as highlighting their role in the formation of audiences.
