A performance suggested by the viewers- planners of the workshop which has been run jointly with llabelmarseille since January 2012 in grands terrains. This workshop is part of the popular education project of Peuple & Culture Marseille, it contributes to its reflection upon cinema.
First we analyze the styles and forms of cinema, and the film makers's strategies to grasp reality.
Visual artists, photographers, writers browse images and explore the use of a camera to invent Hybrid forms
in the background, we perceive a questionning of reality which changes the spectator's perception and participation.

Peuple & Culture Marseille
Peuple & Culture Marseille is a cultural association which targets popular education. It was created in Marseille in 2003 and is part of the Peuple & Culture national Network, founded in 1945.
Our projects focus on language and picture, and more particularly on literature and documentary cinema, by means of various activities: distribution, mediation, practice, training, intercultural exchanges.
Peuple & Culture Marseille's involvement in the documentary cinema aims at developing alternative forms of artistic expressions and creations beside consumerist culture. Thus, they back new forms of resistances to the tedious regimentation of our daily visual and sound environment.Tthey provide spaces for the collective shaping of speech, thought and knowledge.
One of those projects consists in a film planning workshop: its members tackle all the planning steps of thematic film cycles, that is: viewing, selecting, gathering and presenting documentation. The showings are planned in various screening-rooms or other places in Marseille and its surroundings.

22h program "Amateur film and cine clubs : Cinematic Lecture Performance" by Doplgenger (Serbia) - 60mn
In communist Yugoslavia amateur film had a place of socially approved and highly desired hobby being available to everyone under the slogan "technology to people". Over the years this practice overcame it's original purpose by writing itself in the history of art and strongly influencing, what would later become, the most original film movement in the Balkans Black Wave. This lecture performance accompanied with screening will show the main aesthetic streams of the phenomenon.
The project Transimage
For Contre Nature Images 2012 Doplgenger present two programs as part of transimage.org. Transimage is a new international platform for experimental film/video and critical theory, aiming to explore and understand key elements in constituting the image space beyond/across it such as ideology, technology, cultural and sociopolitical context, and history.The main objective of the Transimage platform is to reinforce the critical and experimental practices and discourses in contemporary film/video medium in both local and international contexts linking artistic "scenes" by producing, exhibiting, screening, "re-thinking" specific films and videos in order to provide critical reflection on and analysis of the influence of the current position of moving images in contemporary and global society.
