The Film Gallery @ FIAC 2005 - Future Quake | October 6-10th | Re:Voir - The Film Gallery

THE FILM GALLERY IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE ITS PRESENCE AT THE
FIAC 2005    FUTURE QUAKE
STAND A21      HALL 5-1      OCTOBER 6-10.

"Cinema is an art, for God's sake!"
Maurice Lemaitre

The first art gallery devoted exclusively to experimental cinema, film and artist videos, The Film Gallery will promote fine art cinema displayed in its original format, and specifically in 16mm, in the context of this international contemporary art event.

The Film Gallery artists work essentially with the medium of cinema or explore it through other forms (drawing, photography, objects, sculpturesŠ). On the edge between various forms of experimentation, they interweave with other fields such as visual art (Jeff Scher, Paul Sharits) and poetry (Peter Rose) and many of them have participated in multidisciplinary art movements: Dada (Hans Richter, Viking Eggeling), Letterism (Maurice Lemaitre) or Fluxus (Jonas Mekas, Yoko Ono, Takahiko IimuraŠ).

By presenting these works at the FIAC, we hope to give, or give back, a place to filmmakers in the field of contemporary art and to allow films to be recognized as art.

ARTISTS IN THE FILM GALLERY GROUP SHOW:

Alexander Alexeieff, Patrick Bokanowski, Robert Breer, Viking Eggeling, Takahiko Iimura, Fluxus, Maurice Lemaitre, Jonas Mekas, D.A. Pennebaker, Hans Richter, Peter Rose, Jeff Scher, Moira Tierney.

The Film Gallery was inaugurated September 10th, 2005 in the Marais, the district of Paris famous for its galleries and art museums. The Gallery was created by Re:Voir Video Editions,  publisher and distributor of classic avant-garde and contemporary art films founded by Pip Chodorov in 1994. The gallery is devoted to the display, distribution and sale of art cinema, experimental film and video. The complete inventory of the Re:Voir catalogue is available for purchase as well as major titles on experimental cinema worldwide in book, magazine and video form.
