Temps D’Images Film Award for Films on Art 07/15/16
Films on Art and Artists are always transdisciplinary creations, in the sense that the film maker must confront his own work with that of the artist whom he wants to portray. It is important to understand that our festival generally doesn’t present commissioned films who don’t exceed a mere didactic documentation of an artistic topic. From traditional documentaries to essaistic films, observation films to a historical research, with experimental approach to the topic in question – the festival selects films which clearly state the individual artistic solution of the filmmaker towards his theme. http://kdiaf.tnua.edu.tw/en/news/sQiDiNtaKe
