We’ve also got some great guests lined up, including experimental film historians Al Rees and David Curtis and filmmakers Frédérique Devaux, Pip Chodorov, Sami van Ingen and Peter Rose. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>Programme sections: </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span>Thursday 8th May 6pm</span></strong><span>: Outside the Box: A History of Playing with Frames </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span>Friday 9th May 6pm</span></strong><span>: Process and Image: New Works From the UK</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span>Saturday 10th May 3.15pm</span></strong><span>: ‘Yestoday’: Frédérique Devaux</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span>Saturday 10th May 6pm</span></strong><span>: Peter Rose Retrospective</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span>Sunday 11th May</span></strong><span> <strong>1pm &amp; 3pm</strong>: Focus on May ‘68</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span>Sunday 11th May 6pm</span></strong><span>: Scenes from New York</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>For further programme details, including talks and events at the University of Edinburgh, please visit our website: <a href="http://www.diversionsfilmfestival.co.uk/">www.diversionsfilmfestival.co.uk</a> or Kim Knowles: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25505522@N03/2402420545/" title="Diversions Postcard by tenbananacreampies, on Flickr"></a></p> https://filmfestivals.telechargerjeux.org/blog/diversions/diversions_edinburghs_festival_of_experimental_film_and_video#comments Al Rees America CDATA David Curtis Edinburgh Edinburgh Entertainment Entertainment Experimental film Film festival film festival experimental edinburgh scotland Finland Frédérique Devaux Geography of Scotland Geography of the United Kingdom Kim Knowles New York Peter Rose Peter Rose Retrospective Sunday Pip Chodorov Sami van Ingen Subdivisions of Scotland Sunday Technology Technology United Kingdom University of Edinburgh XML FESTIVALS Thu, 10 Apr 2008 18:47:40 +0000 Diversions 11644 at https://filmfestivals.telechargerjeux.org
