Artist Films: The Invisible And The Real
to
In February and March 2013, the Star and Shadow Cinema presents a special selection of films made by artists and which link reality to fiction.
For all these films, the filmmakers have used documentary footage (real stories, interviews, archive footage) to make it into their own work, editing this material to create unique personal, political and philosophical visions of the world.
