French art schools embrace cinema over video art
Unlike Germany or the United States, where experimental cinema has long been established, France's art schools initially integrated moving image through video art. Over the past fifteen years, however, cinema has gradually gained prominence within these institutions, first as a reference point. The October 2015 issue of artpress (n°426, pp. 71-78) explores this shift in a feature titled 'Cinéma. Le vivier des écoles d’art.'
