History

Since 2003 the international Festival SIGNES DE NUIT is active in Paris and world wide. During its 9th Edition in 2011 the festival has presented around 340 films coming from 50 countries in 74 programs during 12 days (and two nights) at different places in Paris.

The International Festival SIGNES DE NUIT based in Paris is made up of films, which reflects new views, original imagery and critical approach to the crucial points of the modern human existence. It is a place for cinema that expands its own boundaries, that is astonishing, different, potentially free from the pressure of tradition, ready to give itself to the unpredictable experimentation

Concept

The festival shows films and audio-visual works coming from all over the world, which test new audio-visual languages and in the same time are interested in current problems and situations of present societies. The purpose is to establish a global communication which escapes from the simplifications of the mass-media.

The special artistic forms of these films, which combine sound, image, movement, rhythm, text, space, surprising perspectives and different time structures carry not only an aesthetic purpose, but also broaden the possibilities of communication and understanding between people coming from very different mental, social and physiological backgrounds. To create this international sensitization facing the negative consequences mass communication and stereotypes seems to us a necessary responsibility of the modern cinema and audio-visual production.

Open the space

The minor costs of digital production makes an independant- from comercial influences and any kind of censorship- production possible. These independant productions create an alternative, an artistic space very subtle and accessible to all, in contrast to what mass media offer.

This opposition and the preservation of the free cultural space is the goal of the International Festival Signes de Nuit, which has realized screenings and interventions in 29 different countries including Algeria, Australia, Chile, Cuba, Lebanon, Lithuania, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Peru, Russia, Tunisia, Turkey and the United States beside the screenings in main festival in Paris.

Intension

Our target is to establish an international communication and transmission with the aim of cultural awareness for differences and nuances of mental and psychical forms of expression and life styles based on their social conditions. In other words, we are focused on thematics concerning the world wide ongoing technical and cultural transformations in our actual societies and looking for works treating this aspects on a complex artistic viewpoint.
The cinematographic and audiovisual media allow this exchange. The festival is the form of its concretisation, consolidation.and refection. In this sense, we want to create more than a festival among many others. We want to establish a cultural forum of communication and transmission, which isn’t provided by other medias (mass media, facebook…).

OtherPhoto presenta libro:"gris-gris in senegal"di Fabrizio Biaggi

La dimensione mistica è profondamente radicata nella cultura africana. La quotidianità di queste popolazioni è intrisa di sacralità e rimane profondamente legata al culto dell’animismo. Vi trova quindi spazio una dimensione soprannaturale, che nella società occidentale è relegata perlopiù alla sfera della superstizione. Amuleti, oggetti sacri, riti, momenti e sguardi sono catturati nelle immagini di questa pubblicazione.
