Cinémas hors circuits
Welcome to the Cinémas hors circuits site.
Dedicated to independent cinema, Cinémas hors circuits is a project to highlight the work of independent publishers/distributors, cultural activists without whom many films would have disappeared from memory. As active custodians of a significant part of the cinematic heritage, such publishers have to counter the blockbuster mentality of mainstream distribution and the concentration of distribution networks.
To enable both the general audience and professionals to discover the films such independent publishers promote, and to encourage debate around new challenges and opportunities in publishing, Cinémas hors circuits offers:
a portal for independent publishers
a fair: an event entitled Salon du DVD & des éditeurs indépendants de cinéma/The DVD & Independant Publisher's Fair which wich took place in Paris in 2008 and 2009, in Poitiers in 2010 & 2011.

FILMS FROM A DARK ROOM
Peter Tscherkassky
Austria, 1985-2002
experimental
Peter Tscherkassky’s filmic work coincides with a turning point in audiovisual culture, spanning a transition from the photographic to the electronic. The self-image of the avant-garde filmmaker has also undergone numerous changes over the course of the same quarter century. A precarious balance is reached between the analytic and the sensuous in the discovery of found footage and the reworking of existing film material. The film theoretician meets the film buff in the darkroom. Film historical argumentation and meticulousness are conjoined with the pure pleasure of a visceral ‘hit’. This synthesis is most clearly evident in the CinemaScope Trilogy made between 1997 and 2001: L’Arrivée, Outer Space, Dream Work. (Alexander Horwarth)
Peter Tscherkassky’s OUTER SPACE (1999) has received 19 awards
