[Filmfestivalresearch] alternative/experimental/avant-garde film festivals

[Greg DeCuir]

FFRN:

Hello everyone.  I am developing a research project on the history of alternative/experimental/avant-garde film festivals in Europe and would like to ask for your advice.  I want to know if anyone can recommend any festivals I should consider in my research.  I am primarily concerned with festivals that are solely dedicated to alternative/experimental/avant-garde film and video but would also like to consider noteworthy sidebars and programs in larger and broader festivals.  In addition, I am most interested in festivals that were established pre-1980s.  I would like to look at both continuous long-running festivals and also limited life festivals.  Thank you in advance for any information you can give me.

Best regards,
