Organizers Istanbul Medeniyet University, Türkiye The University of Zaragoza, Spain Oolalala Art Gallery, Torino, Italy The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece.
 The festival will consist solely of film screenings in four countries, Türkiye, Spain, Italy, and Greece. The reason for naming this free-to-attend festival “experimental cinema” is to come together around the alternatives that this genre inherently offers. In these times, where we are trapped within dominant ways of seeing, thinking, and producing—even watching everything at 2x speed—predefined boundaries make it nearly impossible to imagine alternatives or develop different modes of perception. Under the guardianship of established genres and technologies devoted to high resolution, anything “different” is absorbed into the mainstream. Yet experimental cinema, with its flexibility and resistance, can question the possibilities of producing a different perspective both from within and despite this dominance. With a form that challenges familiar definitions, it opens a door that continually explores new ways of expressing our emotions and thoughts—our very selves—by rethinking classical narrative structuresIn this context, it can be said that both .artimu. and experimental cinema constitute a kind of *khōra*—a space destined for metamorphosis—where they seek to gather with kindred spirits. .artimu. invites those who resist the fantasy of high resolution and filters, who break free from the conventional structure of beginning–middle–end stories, who narrate themselves differently, and who recognize that the authenticity of the word lies beyond boundaries.
