Let There Be Light Cone: Part One

In collaboration with the 41st Festival du nouveau cinéma and HORS CHAMP.

Emmanuel Lefrant (Director, Light Cone) in attendance!

Established in 1982, Paris-based Light Cone is one of the largest distributors of experimental film in Europe, with a catalogue of more than 3,500 titles. This year, Light Cone celebrates its 30th anniversary. To acknowledge the organization’s extraordinary work, we offer two programs that highlight its brilliant collection, its inventive programming and the absolute necessity of its existence. In collaboration with the FNC, Hors champ and the Segal Centre’s CinemaSpace.

PART 1: COLLECTION VIVANTE

While Light Cone’s catalogue holds a remarkable collection of important historical avant-garde films, it also contains a constantly growing number of contemporary works. This program offers a selection of notable recent works that demonstrate the outstanding diversity of artistic creation Light Cone embraces. The majority of the films in this lineup have been screened at major festivals around the world, including Rotterdam, Toronto, New York and Oberhausen.
