Cinéma Fragile Biofilmography 2016_ENG

Cinéma Fragile
Katia Viscogliosi & Francis Magnenot work together since 2002. They directed experimental fictions, poetic essays, and
documentaries.
They create correspondances, multiply links between literature, poetry, cinema,
and aim to make films as fragile as life.
They recognize themselves in a poem by Blaise Cendrars : " When you play it fast,
the life of a flower is Shakespearian" ( in L’ABC du cinéma ). And in much more
things.
Their films have been screened in many international festivals such as :
Laceno d’oro, ( Avellino, Italy ), Napoli film festival, Altofest ( Napoli, Italy ), Zebra
Poetry film Award, Directors Lounge (Berlin ), Visible verse ( Vancouver ), Cinemed
Panorama Expérimental (Montpellier, France ), Video art festival Miden ( Kalamata,
Athens ), Experiments in Cinema (Albuquerque ), Sadho Poetry film festival ( New
Delhi ), Cinéma de la littérature, Cinéma nouvelle génération, Les Inattendus
( Lyon ), Photosynthesis Media Arts Festival ( San Francisco ), Cortopotere Film
Festival, Focus Sperimentale ( Bergamo ), Festival International du Film d’Art
( FIFAP, Unesco, Paris )
