After 17 years, the Rencontres Video Art Plastique [Video and Visual Art Festival] will henceforth be known as the “Rencontres Paralleles” or “Parallel Cutural Festival”. The parallel between art and video, in particular, and the moving image, in general, will still be the salient factor in this Festival.
Contemporary art, tribal art and folk art, art brut, design, graphic art, artists’ videos, and the documentary are just some of the forms of expression nowadays accessible, in all their diversity and specificity.
An unprecedented access to information means broadening our knowledge and fighting against ignorance and indifference.
The aim of this Festival is to align this diversity in the same space-time frame, while respecting the identity of one and all.
A simple ethical and poetic parallele alignment of the cultures which make up our world.
Herve Perdriolle
Artistic director
