A FESTIVAL OF EXPERIMENTAL FILM AND VIDEO

8th -11th May, 2008

Filmhouse, Edinburgh

“YESTODAY”: FREDERIQUE DEVAUX
3.30pm Filmhouse

In this diverse programme of early and contemporary works, prominent French filmmaker Frédérique Devaux traces a line between her own films and those that have had a lasting impact on her. “To commit to experimentation is to explore ceaselessly those territories that resist aesthetic, social and political constraints, territories outside which research remains but a sterile pursuit. From yesterday to today: ‘yestoday’ ” (Frédérique Devaux) This screening features a unique live performance of Sami van Ingen’s expanded work Dimly Lit Room. Followed by Q&A with Frédérique Devaux and Sami van Ingen.
