A propos / About Cinéma Fragile

( English text below )

Katia Viscogliosi & Francis Magnenot travaillent en duo depuis 2002. Ils réalisent des courts, moyens et long-métrages.

Leur Cinéma Fragile n’est pas écrit à l’avance : partant de l’observation, il prolonge l’intuition de l’instant, attentif à l’apparition de la beauté.

Les moyens de tournage sont volontairement minimalistes, les modes de présentation vont de la projection, classique ou live, à l’édition, et à l’exposition.

Leur travail a été vu dans de nombreux événements internationaux, parmi lesquels :

Marfici ( Argentina ) – Visions du Réel ( Switzerland ) – Pugnant Film Series, Peloponnisos Doc Festival, Video Art Festival Miden (Greece) – Laterale film Festival, Etranger film festival, Laceno d’Oro, Napoli Film Festival, Altofest, Venice Film Week, Cortopotere Film Festival ( Italy ) – Atrabilious Experimental Film Fest ( Holland) – Tarp Audiovisual Poetry Festival (Lituania) Zebra Poetry film Award, Directors Lounge ( Germany ) – Visible Verse, Toronto Arthouse Film Festival ( Canada ) – Hazel Eye Film Festival, Experiments in Cinema, Photosynthesis Media Arts Festival ( USA ) – Sadho Poetry film festival ( India ) Cinemed, Cinéma de la littérature, Cinéma nouvelle génération, Les Inattendus, Festival International du Film d’Art de l’Unesco ( FIFAP) ( France )
