Founded 2003 in Paris the International Festival SIGNES DE NUIT had become a multinational meeting place and is today active in form of competition and focus programs in Berlin, Lisboa, Bangkok, Berlin, Tucuman and Urbino.

The intention of the festival is to search and present films, which reflects new views, original imagery and critical approach to the crucial points of the modern human existence. Beside conventional aesthetics we want to give access to astonishing, strange, surprising and sometimes provocative works, for a cinema that expands its own boundaries, celebrating confrontations, tolerance and sensitivity for cultural differences, independence and individuality, ready to open up for unpredictable experimentation. In short: new aesthetics are welcome.
For each festival, we compose new programs and invite a different jury.
