FRACT0
Experimental Encounters 2026FRACTO is an annual film festival held in Berlin since 2017, dedicated to fostering discourse around avant-garde and experimental filmmaking.
The 2026 edition will bring together filmmakers from around the world and feature a range of international premieres. A central focus is dedicated to Cécile Fontaine, a French experimental filmmaker renowned for her material-based and collage-driven approach. Working with found footage, scratching, soaking, and layering, Fontaine reclaims cinema’s discarded edges as fertile ground for poetic reassembly. Her films reflect a practice rooted in minimal resources, tactile gestures, and a radical sensibility of visual recycling.
This year introduces a new section: Experimental Film Treasures #1
A spotlight on full-length experimental cinema, this series invites audiences to rediscover landmark works that have shaped the landscape of avant-garde film. Celebrating endurance, depth, and innovation, these films offer immersive experiences that challenge and expand the boundaries of cinematic form.
