Best of Punto y Raya Festival
Wed, December 10, 2014 6 pm CET, Film Screening
The Punto y Raya Festival is the only festival dedicated solely to abstract art in movement. At the ZKM »The Best of« from the festivals in 2014 and 2011 will be presented.
The festival explores the experimental expressive forms of animation, film production and live cinema by way of using pure form, color, movement and sound without direct presentation. They are thus universal and timeless. Since the first issue in in the year 2007, the festival has sought to transgress intercultural borders, and to bring people from throughout the world together under the slogan »back to the origins«.
