Moving art, short films, video installations, music and documentaries

 

Physical Cinema Festival
Film- and Video art biennale since 2019

Hátíðin er alþjóðleg og þess vegna höfum við heimasíðuna okkar á ensku (eins og er), ekki hika að hafa samband ef það er eitthvað sem við getum aðstoðað með.

The PCF program is a combination of creative works of short films, visual arts, installations, live performance art, sound compositions and live music cinema, together in an exciting mix. 

Each festival is curated in a different unique way. The works are innovative and refreshing in their approach. Some films have un- and conventional storylines, some are abstract, and other installations deconstruct or render a poetic experience of time and space.

 

Spaces. 

The selected program each year is screened at cinemas like Bio Paradís Reykjavík, installations in-door and out-door projections around Reykjavik city center including places like the Reykjavík City Hall, the Nordic House, Tjarnarbíó, Mengi and Reykjavík District Courthouse.  

 

Celebrating the creativity in the field of short film and video.  

The works are created by well known film- and video artists around the world. Majority of the program has never been screened in Iceland, local premiers and PCF collaborative works like CAB Creative Air Bridge, an innovative PCF program between International film artists and local music scene. 

 

Importance of collaboration. 

Since the start of the festival in 2019 Physical Cinema Festival has been in collaboration with local-, international festivals and artists regarding the program selection, including the Icelandic Film Museum where we will screen hidden treasures and the infamous music venue MENGI with live film concerts and other happenings during the festival. PCF proudly extends its program throughout the year to other collaborators like local art-, cinema- and dance festivals around Iceland and Internationally to other festivals and venues. In this way we distribute artists' works outside of the Physical Cinema Festival dates.
