The ninth edition in 2026 brings together filmmakers from Europe, North America, South America, and Asia. The program unfolds across five curated sections, three focuses, one dedicated section, and an expanded cinema program, comprising 93 films. The corpus of films inhabits a threshold: neither pure inscription nor formless abstraction, but a sensuous condition where the image exceeds description, opening onto a perceptual dimension. Across the main selection, images emerge and recede, bodies shift between presence and exposure, and light gives form while opening the image. A central focus is dedicated to Cécile Fontaine (France), whose work engages film as material through collage, scratching, soaking, and layering, reworking found footage into tactile reassemblies shaped by minimal means. Her presence extends into a workshop, opening this practice to a shared, hands-on exploration. A further focus is centered on Peter Todd (United Kingdom), whose practice is grounded in attentive observation, assembling in-camera sequences into quiet constellations drawn from everyday perception. Another focus turns to Moucle Blackout (Austria), whose newly restored films bring renewed attention to a distinct position within the avant-garde, combining material processes, color, and optical transformation. Experimental Film Treasures marks the introduction of a section dedicated to full-length experimental cinema, presenting 12 Asterisci by Telemach Wiesinger (Germany) and Carriage Trade by Warren Sonbert (USA), bringing into relation a historical work and a contemporary film and opening a long-form format within FRACTO. The festival closes with a program of three works by Jan Kulka (Czech Republic), including the world premiere of Fringe Shades, whose expanded cinema practice exposes film to its conditions of display, where the image tends toward pure spectacle through shock, physical eruption, and attraction, folding inward in a kind of implosion as it approaches its limit. https://fractofilm.com/Selection-2026 Wed, 06 May 2026 05:08:07 +0000 Fracto Film https://fractofilm.com/Selection-2026 Selection 2026Wed 27 — Sun 31 May 2026 ACUD KINO The selection brings together 33 films across five curated programs, including world, European, German, and Berlin premieres, presented in 16mm and digital formats. Landscapes and fragments return and dissolve; bodies shift between exposure and withdrawal; images stutter, layer, and break apart, while light shapes the image and pushes it toward its limits. Observation, repetition, and material processes structure a field in which perception remains unstable, continuously formed through movement and rhythm.&nbsp; Selection #1Spacing Time Selection #2 Souvenirs Selection #3 Living Skin Selection #4 Sensuous Light Selection #5&nbsp; Grayscale * Film synopses are provided by the artists and/or distributors. https://fractofilm.com/Experimental-Film-Treasures Wed, 06 May 2026 06:22:52 +0000 Fracto Film https://fractofilm.com/Experimental-Film-Treasures Experimental Film TreasuresWed 27 — Thu 28 May 2026ACUD KINO New in 2026, Experimental Film Treasures is an all-analog section dedicated to full-length works, conceived as a focused space for films that have shaped—and continue to shape—the field of avant-garde cinema. Bringing into relation a historical work and a recent film—Carriage Trade by Warren Sonbert (USA, 1972) and 12 Asterisci by Telemach Wiesinger (Germany, 2025)—the program avoids divisions between past and present, allowing both works to resonate within a shared field of perception and duration. &gt; PART ONE&gt; PART TWO https://fractofilm.com/Focus-2026-Cecile-Fontaine Thu, 07 May 2026 17:36:08 +0000 Fracto Film https://fractofilm.com/Focus-2026-Cecile-Fontaine FOCUS Cécile FontaineSat 30 — Sun 31 May 2026ACUD KINO A central focus is dedicated to Cécile Fontaine (France), whose work engages film as material through collage, scratching, soaking, and layering, reworking found footage into tactile reassemblies shaped by minimal means.
