GENERATIONS
The 2016 edition of the Biennale de l’Image en Mouvement marks the return of the international competition, which was held during the first editions of the Biennale.
BIM special projects: Generations is a prize aimed at encouraging young film directors studying in prestigious local and international art and cinema schools.
Each of the selected schools was invited to submit a shortlist of student films. Following this call, 64 student projects from 12 schools across the world were submitted. Among these, a first jury of art and video professionals shortlisted 10 films, which will be shown during the Biennale de l’Image en Mouvement 2016.
During the event, a second jury, comprised of key personalities in the art world, will select a winner from among the 10 films presented. The winner will be invited to present his film at the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève and will receive a production grant of CHF 10,000.
