Strangloscope is an experimental film festival understood in its expanded form, which includes screenings of experimental short films projected in video and/or film organized into sessions by the curators. The film programs are followed by discussions with the audience. Each session is accompanied by a curatorial text that provides the thematic, aesthetic, technical, and critical framework for the program presented. Besides the film and video screenings in the theater, the curators also propose video programs presented in audiovisual installations shown on five screens placed side by side with projected sound, audio installations, digital and/or film projection performances, as well as expanded cinema performances. In addition to the exhibited and presented works, Strangloscope also includes lectures on experimental cinema and the artistic processes of invited filmmakers, known as masterclasses, as well as theoretical and practical workshops conducted by the guests to facilitate the exchange and sharing of knowledge. The entire program is free of charge.

Strangloscope remains a non-competitive festival and in this 15th edition the theme is "A BOAT BETWEEN THE EYES - EXPERIMENTAL CINEMA BETWEEN MARGINS".

A Strangloscope é uma mostra de cinema experimental entendido em sua forma expandida, ou seja, incluindo exibições de curtas-metragens experimentais projetados em vídeo e/ou filme reunidos em sessões organizadas pela curadoria. As exibições dos programas de filmes são seguidas de debates com a platéia. Um texto curatorial acompanha cada uma das sessões e dá o recorte temático, estético, técnico e crítico de
cada programa apresentado. Além dos programas de exibições de vídeos e filmes experimentais em projeção em sala, a curadoria propõe programas de vídeos apresentados em instalações audiovisuais que são apresentadas em 5 telas dispostas lado a lado com som projetado, instalações de áudio, performances de projeção digital e/ou em película, bem como performances de cinema expandido. Além das obras exibidas e apresentadas, a Strangloscope ainda inclui em sua programação palestras sobre cinema experimental e processos artísticos de composição de cineastas convidados as quais são denominadas de masterclasses, além de oficinas teóricas e práticas ministradas pelos convidados para que seja efetivada a troca e partilha de conhecimentos. Toda a programação é gratuita.

  • Honored to have been included in this and wish I could have attended in person to be part of this rich and dynamic community. It's clear that these folks know what they are doing and are strong supporters of experimental media. Courteous and professional all the way through.

  • Strangloscope is a gem of a festival supporting artists and experimental moving image visionaries from around the world. The festival is well-organized and has good communication; filmmakers are made to feel part of a community. Although I have been unable to attend the festival in person, I enjoy being able to share and view video messages on social. Thank you Strangloscope!
