The 13th edition of AVANT is a tribute to Michael Snow's film So Is This. A film that consists only of text and challenges the idea that film, or language, refers to a surrounding world. This, in So Is This is simply the event that unfolds when the film takes place.

Besides Michael Snow (Canada) the filmmakers Els van Riel (Belgium), Esther Urlus (Netherlands) and Elke Groen (Austria) are invited. All three deals with film as an event and with the material specificity of film; van Riel with time, Urlus with the materiality of film colour, and Groen with the actual memory of the film material.



AVANT begins on Friday evening at Kristinehamn Art Museum with a screening of So Is This after which follows the opening of Els van Riel's installations Five Screens and OMER. Saturday opens at cinema Arenan in Karlstad with a screening of Snow's La Région Centrale. After this follows two programs with films by Esther Urlus and Elke Groen.



AVANT has been organized since 2002 and the 13th edition is a collaboration between Världsalltet, Kristinehamn Art Museum, Karlstad and Stockholm University. So Is This is sponsored by Karlstad University, Karlstad Municipality, Kristinehamn Art Museum and Region Värmland.
