Organised by the
University of Edinburgh’s Department of Film Studies,
this unique new event brings together some of the most
important experimental film and video works from the
1920s to the present.
Beginning
what we hope will be a yearly focus on the most innovative
and challenging, yet rarely seen, examples of alternative
filmmaking, this first edition of Diversions Film Festival
includes over fifty short, medium and feature-length
films.
This
year’s programme has a historical slant, drawing
parallels between groundbreaking avant-garde classics
and contemporary practice, ranging from the French political
films of May ’68 to recent film and video works
from Britain, America, France and Finland.
Special
guests include Pip Chodorov, Frédérique
Devaux, Sami van Ingen, Al Rees, David Curtis, Stephen
Partridge and Peter Rose.
