The 6th Experimental Film Festival Process will take place from 21 to 25 May in Riga, Latvia at Vagonu Hall, Nurme Brewery and bar 1983.

Organized by the artist-run film lab Baltic Analog Lab, the festival is dedicated to the diverse analog cinema practices employed by adventurous audiovisual artists from around the world. The programme comprises film screenings, live performances, installations, talks, and, of course, parties.

In collaboration with the SPECTRAL project carried out by six European artist-run filmlabs, this edition will pay special attention to the practice of expanded cinema. Referring to the phantasmagoria performances as one of the early moving image practices, the theme of this year’s festival is Gathering of Ghosts. Through it, we want to explore the connections between cinema and magic, viewing the creation and the experience of cinema as rituals with which to make visible the otherwise invisible.

Beside focus programmes and events, Process will present four programmes of films made by various international artists. The films will be selected by guest-curators as well as festival team.

The Festival is supported by Ministry of Culture of Latvia, Riga City Council and Creative Europe.
