Artist Film Festival
A weekend of screenings, lectures, workshops and events at Artport.
Curator and Artistic Director: Gilad Reich
June 16-18, 2022
The three-day festival focuses on films, videos and events that share a common interest in the world, in all aspects of reality, and act from the place between art and documentation. It is an attempt to establish a platform where critical perspectives can be shown and discussed, to create a space for encounters, discussions and shared experiences. This is a rare opportunity to experience films by some of the most interesting video artists working today, to watch premiers by local practitioners, and to engage with artists and scholars working at the intersection of art and reality.Friday

How to Navigate the Film Festival Circuit: A Short Guide for Film Artists
Friday, June 17th 2022 3:30pmFilm festivals have long become an important harbor for works of cinema made outside the frames of the commercial film industry. The number of contemporary artists who make films and equally identify themselves as filmmakers continues to grow, creating a new definition of moving image as well as challenging the very notion of film. Being extremely sensitive to those shifts, film festivals constantly expand their scope too and particularly their position towards artist films. Nowadays not only do they present them to a wider audience, but they can also support them on a full-scale basis ranging from funding to programming to distribution. How film festivals relate to filmic works of contemporary artists? Which film festivals have played a key role in making artist films part of the institutionalized film culture? And how to orbit in the film festival circuit especially if you are a young or emerging artist?
