PLAN 9 | 2008 | experimental film festival
EVERY NOVEMBER TUESDAY
Plan 9 is a projection cycle that tries to reach a wide audience. The concept of the alternative and the experimental is so inclusive as to permit us to include a wide range of works, selected in all these cases on the basis of criteria of quality, art and personality of the author. Each encounter is divided in a conceptual way (retrospectives, documentary films, short films, multimedia, etc.) and is accompanied with discussions with the authors or the protagonists of the works.The encounters will take place every Tuesday of November and the first Tuesday of December, beginning 7 p.m. and will be accompanied with good music before and after the projections.
