TO SUBMIT A PERFORMANCE

The Festival du nouveau cinema, in its FNC Lab section, offers a series of performances bridging different disciplines and forms of expression, a rare chance for artists to commune with a wide range of audiences. Focused on the “live” aspect of audiovisual and cinematic works, the performances form a heterogeneous collection of practices focused on the presence, performative aspect and perceptual experience of sounds and images.
