Guided Visit: VideoDatabase – 4th Carte blanche

Curated by Marie Jeanson and Denis Schuler, co-directors of Festival Archipel, Du bruit sur la bande presents a carte blanche selection from the VideoDatabase.

Through single- and multi-channel screenings, archival fragments and contemporary practices, the programme examines how technical contingency shapes aesthetic meaning and historical memory.
