Free of formal constraints and constantly evolving, experimental cinema can be difficult to define.
From the history of the genre to current practices, this theoretical and analytical workshop presents an in-depth portrait of the creative trends in experimental cinema. A selection of films and videos by emerging and established artists will be presented, followed by a group discussion.

Samy Benammar
Samy Benammar is a Montreal-based artist and film critic. His work as a writer and filmmaker has developed as a form of experimentation around socio-political issues inherited from his Algerian and working-class origins. His films include kaua’i’o’o (2023), peugeot pulmonaire (2021) and sous-ex (2022). They have been shown in festivals across Canada and abroad, and are distributed by Winnipeg Film Group, Vidéographe and CFMDC. His writings can be read in magazines such as Hors Champs, 24 images and Panorama cinéma. He is also conducting a PhD in research and creation focusing on the Wilaya of Batna, Algeria, and colonial photography.
He listens to the bleating of the goat. No matter how domesticated, they remain unpredictable, and resist docility.
