The day is curated by Nanna Rebekka.
We look at how filmmakers and artists use moving images to transcend and transform the immediately visible, and give form to what is beyond human perception.

However, today, an increasing number of artists turn to cinema and documentary to create new accounts of the world. This afternoon, we look at how filmmakers and artists use moving images to transcend and transform the immediately visible, and give form to what is beyond human perception.
