PARIS/BERLIN/MADRID
In 2007, the 'Rencontres Internationales', which initially took place in Paris and Berlin, opened up to
a third city: Madrid. This event now constitutes a unique artistic and cultural platform in Europe where
artists can meet, to exchange with a wide audience, to develop new projects. The venues in the three
cities are in particular the Centre Pompidou and the Jeu de Paume national museum in Paris, the Haus der
Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, the Reina Sofia national museum and the Spanish Cinematheque in Madrid.

The 'Rencontres Internationales' offers more than a simple presentation of the works. They introduce an
intercultural forum gathering various guests from all over the world - artists and filmmakers,
institutions and emerging organizations - to testify of their reflections and of their experiences, but
also of artistic and cultural contexts that are often experiencing deep changes.
The 'Rencontres Internationales' reflects specificities and convergences of art practices between new
cinema and contemporary art, explores emerging media art practices and their critical purposes, and work
out this necessary time when points of view meet and are exchanged.
The event aims at presenting those works to a broad audience, at creating circulations between different
art practices and between different audiences, as well as creating new exchanges between artists,
filmmakers and professionals.
It wishes to contribute to a reflection on our contemporary culture of image via a demanding program
opened to everyone.
