Imaginaria Film Festival starts with the demand to partecipate in the process of cinematic language mutations that redefine the iconography of our time.

Imaginaria launches a new experience: to create an ideal connection between the international and independent cinema and the autors and movements of the digital scenarios. An eccentric and unusual journey compared with the national cinematic programme. The meeting between technological innovation and creativity represents today a new perspective where to find movie and shortmovie, film and digital, musicvideoclip, web downloading and videoart installations.

Revisited cinema… revisit cinema.
Although cinema was sentenced to a slow death, it doesn’t want to die. That is why it has to be transformed, eternally. Salvage, rubbing-out, scratching, colouring, cutting up, sticking, stripes, masks, editing are the weapons of the filmmaker who practices recycling, “poor art whose poetics comes from chance, smuggling and rerouting” (Nicole Brenez). Always working from pre-existent material (film extracts, images or recorded sounds, quotations…), the filmmaker is creating a new autonomous film which has a new meaning. There’s by doing this, a great matter of love for cinema, of will to appropriate images and at the same time to free them and enlighten different concerns : plastic, aesthetic, narrative, political… One has to tear up and to rip up lovingly to bring cinema to life and maintain it alive indefinitely. Found-footage film, re-use film, salvage film, recycled film… whatever it is called, it is the capacity of cinema to think itself and to think the world that is claimed.
