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.
