Biennal 2017
The first edition of MOVIMENTA, a biennial dedicated to the moving image, will be held from 27 October to 26 November 2017, in Nice. Initiated by L’ECLAT, MOVIMENTA explores the different forms of audiovisual art in their relation to the creative economy and technological innovation. MOVIMENTA has three dimensions: a new international prize for young artists, a forum of art and technology, and an urban festival with an array of works in the public space, exhibitions in contemporary art venues, a “salon of galleries,” and a programme of artists’ films, experimental cinema and art videos.
