Finnish filmmaker and visual artist Mika Taanila talks about his projects with cameraless and conceptual films.

The session deals with alternative ways of approaching the art of the moving image. Rooted deeply in film history and cinephilia, Taanila’s artistic practice covers a range of techniques, from direct photocopying of film and collage to found footage and even series of cinematic works without moving images. Taanila’s recent experimental feature, “Tectonic Plate”, will be screened as part of the festival programme.
