Open call
Deadline: June, 23rd 2012
We will watch your work with attention, being aware that electronic poetry is fragile, delicate, quivering…
Greetings from the infinitely blue shores of the Mediterranean sea.
We are preparing the 25th edition
of the Festival Les Instants Video
Les Instants Vidéo is an event dedicated to electronic poetry with its multiple forms, monobands, installations, performances, multimedia...
It is all together a festival and a laboratory where international renowned artists and works of arts can meet with works that are more fragile, still in progress, delicates. In order to support real encounters between works of art, artists and spectators, there is no competition and the admission is free.
The event is made of different spaces. The Poetronic Encounters take place in La Friche Belle de Mai in Marseille (in November 2012). Every year, this central part of the event welcome more and more spectators, in a space we try to make as friendly as possible.
And either before and after these dates, we act in concert with our partners to organise the festival stopovers in other spaces in Marseille, the area…and abroad. We name the whole stopovers a poetronic constellation.
Every year, the festival choose a title, but it is not at all a thematic. It is more of a direction, that would express our current concerns.

Free admission
Les Instants Video have always been in favour of free entrance as it is specified in each one of our catalogues “Admission is free because we deem Art as priceless, because we are rather demanding and expect quite a lot from the sensitivity and attention of our guests, because we hold each of our rallying-screening to be a general assembly of the living, because our compensation is your thoughtful, giggling and breathing acts of heedful speech.”.
