Taking place between 20 and 28 April 2018, the Frames of Representation film festival will showcase films on complex material contexts through innovative forms of storytelling.
The festival will return for its third edition this year and will be themed around ‘Landscape’, following after two successful years of ‘Working’ (2017), and ‘New Periphery’ (2016).
The festival’s aims are to facilitate creative dialogue around how filmmakers, thinkers and activists are currently addressing the intersections of art, society and environment. It will call for looking at new ways to understand the world and our place in it: ‘Landscape’ will focus on ecologically sustainable and socially equitable communities.
As in previous years, Frames of Representation will toe the border between fiction and non-fiction, as well as reality and imagination, looking to create a space where cinema and art will be forces for change.
This year’s film will explore places marked by political borders, trace rapidly changing environments, and imagine new geographies of sound, affect and aesthetics. The festival will be a complex space where geography, art, and film intersect, creating a space where individuals will be able to connect on a whole different level.
Ever since it was launched in 2016, Frames of Representation has made a name showcasing global cinema with strong political and aesthetic commitments. The 2018 edition welcomes filmmakers from 16 countries, offering 18 new works —12 feature films and, for the first time at FoR, six short films. All of this year’s films are UK or European premieres.
This year’s representatives of the films shown at the festival are Khalik Allah, Xu Bing, Toia Bonino, Clément Cogitore, Salomé Lamas, Boris Mitic, and Gürcan Keltek, among others.
