Organised by the University of Edinburgh’s Department of Film Studies, this unique new event brings together some of the most important experimental film and video works from the 1920s to the present.
Beginning what we hope will be a yearly focus on the most innovative and challenging, yet rarely seen, examples of alternative filmmaking, this first edition of Diversions Film Festival includes over fifty short, medium and feature-length films.
This year’s programme has a historical slant, drawing parallels between groundbreaking avant-garde classics and contemporary practice, ranging from the French political films of May ’68 to recent film and video works from Britain, America, France and Finland.
Special guests include Pip CHODOROV, Frédérique DEVAUX, Sami van Ingen, Al Rees, David Curtis, Stephen Partridge and Peter ROSE.
