| Cinefeel was
set up by curator Françoise Lamy in 1994 to promote the work of
filmmakers, visual artists, VJs and new music, with an emphasis on electronic
and digital culture.
Moving to London in the early 1990's, Françoise Lamy found
herself as the first to screen innovative and left-field music videos
in cinemas as an artform in their own right, programming then followed
for MIDEM, Glastonbury Festival and Paris's Némo Festival, leading the way
for others in the programming of music videos at film and digital
arts festivals. Cinefeel is particularly known for curating music
videos from the independent scene, often premiering the latest videos
exclusively before they tour the festival circuit.
Cinefeel programme for venues and festivals worldwide; from across
Europe to the USA and the Far East. Festivals have included Sonar,
Berlin's Interfilm, the Amsterdam Dance Event, Les Rendez-vous Electroniques in Paris, both the Carling Leeds and Reading music festivals, the
French International Short Film Festivals in Nice and Brest, and
the Montreal Festival of New Cinema & New Media. Since 1998
Cinefeel have also curated the alternative music video programme
at Music Week's annual Creative & Design Awards (CADS) in London.
"Cinefeel exhibit the coolest videos which demonstrate a new range of work at the marginsof the music promo genre."
