Cornerstone Festival

Schedule
UPDATED

Flickerings is more than just a film festival, it's an ongoing conversation between and community of film makers, critics and serious film buffs. We come together once a year for a week of screenings, seminars, workshops, discussions, networking and mutual vision-building as a part of the annual Cornerstone Festival. We're drawn less to pat answers than good questions — and tantalizing hints: the same "flickerings" of reality and insight that appear in artworks of all traditions — stabs of recognition that surprise, awaken, inspire, provoke, and move us first of all as human beings. Our goal is to bring together makers and appreciators of film to challenge and learn from one another and grow.

Since 2001, we've grappled with the moral vision of artists like Krzysztof Kieslowski, Michael Haneke, the Dardenne brothers; we've taken vows of stripped-down truth-telling with the Dogma '95 Movement; Iranian Cinema has broken up our expectations and expanded our vision. We've begun to explore the ideas André Bazin with an eye to shaking off falseness of the wider film culture and bringing together theory and praxis. Bazin's deep and insatiable love of the cinema, and of humanity, continue to inspire: we like to think that great appreciator would have appreciated the unique magic of screenings (from DVD) and discussions on hot summer nights in our dusty, birdy barn.
