Art:Film Symposium

CPH:DOX, LUX and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts are hosting a two-day symposium during cph:dox 2011. A new international platform which is being launched alongside this year’s festival to focus on the production of feature length film in the borderland between film and visual arts. What is currently happening in the ever growing borderland between film and visual arts? Which films are being produced, who owns them, where do they appear, how are they developed and financed? How does the production context and not least how does the institutional context influence the creative process? What is the future of art cinema? Does it lie in the hands of the film industry or in the hands of the art world – or in between? This event will connect artists, professional filmmakers and institutions from the film and art world to exchange knowledge, ideas and contacts, and to highlight new ways of cooperation.
