For the first part, we have asked some distributors (Heure Exquise!, LUX and Sixpackfilm), major European actors of the experimental cinema scene, to prepare cartes blanches so that the Parisian audience would have the opportunity to discover the recent acquisitions of their catalogue (price : 6€; discount ticket : 4,5€). For the second part, the closing evening, Light Cone will propose a special evening with a program of recent films from the collection (video and 16mm), performances, installations, and projections of expanded films. http://www.lightcone.org/fr/news-181-scratch-expanded-carte-blanche-a-sixpackfilm.html 2008-09-05 11:11:33 Every year, during the "Preview Show" (series of screenings organised annually during which films recently deposited with Light Cone are shown), Light Cone organizes a cycle of projections, that is divided this year in two parts.

Its content has been re-organized and the website has now a brand new design. We also created a few new sections ("new acquisitions", "new online videos", "16mm technical services", etc.) and also some new functions like automatic agenda (showing all the screenings that are organized with films from our collection) and the possibility to get subscribed to a RSS feed. Light Cone is also planning to improve its web site further with the following functions which are under development: - Creation of a « Programmer's space » that will soon allow you to prepare your own estimate while checking on film availability. In the future we will implement a secure payment system that will allow you to confirm your booking and effect payment. Finally, from this same space, you will have the possibility to browse your past and present invoices. - In the « catalogue » section, the search engine will soon offer a thematic research capacity on works in distribution. http://www.lightcone.org/fr/news-177-nouveau-site-internet.html 2008-07-07 17:09:05 As every year, Light Cone's Preview Show will take place in Paris in September.
