1.1 Objectives
The Flick! Experimental Film Festival aims to offer a quality selection of experimental, creative and innovative videos and visual arts. We understand experimental, innovative and creative films as pieces that offer alternative points of view and processes of filmmaking; pieces displaying risk-taking solutions in telling a story through images in movement.
We believe that encouraging students, professors, staff and the general audience to watch, make and discuss experimental, innovative and creative films, we will be providing space and time to learning and teaching skills development.
