Description
Light Cone is a distribution cooperative for experimental cinema, founded in Paris in 1982. We filmed various moments of its existence to show its spirit, practice, and daily life... And thus shed light on one aspect of the life of French experimental cinema.
"The vitality of contemporary experimental cinema prompted us to meet and film, since the beginning of 2000, filmmakers, distributors, and heads of organizations particularly active in this art. Thus was born a series of autonomous portraits, composing a significant whole of the plurality of approaches and practices in experimental cinema. We are producing it independently, as an introduction or complement to the work of artists, technicians, and distributors who participate in the life of contemporary research cinema."
