Les Inattendus

  (very) independent cinema and video festival, 6th edition
 from the 21th to the 27th January 2008 in Lyon, France

Les Inattendus non-competitive film festival exhibits
economically and artistically independent film and video work.

There is no set theme and no limitations on length, genre,
or format.
Film and video, individual and collective works, workshop
and school productions, documentaries, experimental, narrative,
video-art, animation..... are all welcome.

Given the profusion of short narrative films sent for
selection, we would like to point out that fiction films entered
this year should be of a resolutely experimental nature

DEADLINE : 30TH JUNE 2007

Viewing copies preferably on DVD

Download entry form and regulations of the festival on the
website www.inattendus.com, and send them back by email & post
office.

  LES INATTENDUS 2008 - 6th edition

  Over the years the Inattendus festival has attempted to give
films rarely taken into account by the cinema and television
industry a chance to exist.

    We have never found a satisfactory name for these films. We
have used the terms "nonstandard", "marginal", "experimental",
definitions which we know are inadequate, given the diversity of
the works, their strange variety, the fact that they are almost
always the result of a singular experience, be it individual or
collective.
      We do however feel that what holds these films together,
however different their forms, is the ability of their makers to
get around obstacles in precarious economic circumstances. However,
just because a film is self produced or digitally created is no
proof that it is engaged in a process of experimentation nor that
it represents a challenge to general standardisation.
The accessibility of digital devices alone does not suffice
to produce new talent. It has nonetheless become fairly obvious
that in order to continue make a living (or at least survive) from
their art, more and more filmmakers now work single-handedly,
shooting, recording sound, editing and producing by themselves.

   For those who have always worked in a fiercely independent
manner, this is not necessarily a new situation. For those who
consider cinema as a collective art, it is a mode of operation
rooted in economic necessity as financial aid becomes less abundant
and more precarious. This has resulted in new strategies of
collective action, new ways of ensuring visibility.

     Previous editions of the festival have provided the
opportunity for people and organisations involved in the production
and distribution of non industrial cinema to meet and discuss, to
engage in ongoing reflection and debate on the issues at stake, an
activity which we intend to pursue in 2008.

      Since its beginnings in 1997, Les Inattendus has endeavoured
to exhibit each film in its original format (video, film) and
length, in the best audio and visual conditions possible. While
digital technologies now also enable the reception of an ever
growing number of works in a solitary environment (computer screen,
mobile telephone.), the festival sets out to interrupt the flow for
a while, becoming a space where the audience shares moments of
vision with the authors and their works.

       We are based in the inner-city area of La Guillotière, where
we organise cinema workshops and screenings throughout the year,
which means we address a mixed audience composed of amateurs,
specialists and the curious.

      With this mix of filmmakers, audiences, partner
organisations and associations, Les Inattendus turns into a meeting
place every two years, a forum, a place of exchange and festivity.
