The Only Festival of Its’ Kind in the World Today

2009, april 10th, friday

ABSTRACTA to Marseille 

in Montévidéo centre

In 1951, the artist and film-maker Cobra, Jean Raine, organized an exhibition of Abstract Cinema in Liege, Belgium, which saw the participation of the masters of cinema in the 1920s and 30s – Léger, Duchamp, Dulac, Ernst, Veronesi, Len Lye, Richter, Henry Moore and others.

Today, in 2008 (you see the program 2008), after the success of last year’s  first Abstracta exhibition of abstract cinema featuring 200 films from around the world, ZAC Association and the Link Campus University of Malta are thrilled to host the festival’s new edition, an event where the authors of this cinema, as old as its narrative counterpart, can meet each other, get to know each other and exchange ideas.
