A DAY FOR CAKE AND ACCIDENTS

Steve Reinke - Jessie Mott
Reinke continues to explore the quirky possibilities of the animation film, collaborating once again with Jessie Mott, who delivers her idiosyncratic drawings, paintings and collages, plus also wrote the accompanying texts. References to cartoons and comics are once more evident, though Reinke stays somewhat of a league of its own...

MAGNUM BEGYNASIUM BRUXELLENSE PART 1/2

Boris Lehman
‘Magnum Begynasium Bruxellense’ is a living chronicle of the inhabitants of the Béguinage area of Brussels, so named because it is located over the site of the old béguinage. Conceived of as an encyclopaedic inventory, the film is composed of around 30 chapters interlinked like so many pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, or an anthill of numerous and overlapping galaxies...

CRIME 01

Koen Theys
This is the first of two videos that are an interpretation by Koen Theys of the two home movies Adolf Hitler made during his lifetime.

BETWEEN FLASHBACK AND DÉJÀ-VU

Krassimir Terziev
Two cameras monitor each other persistently. One - fixed on a tripod, turned directly up to the sky, while the second is attached to a drone that draws a vertical take off above the spot of the tripod, and landing back, trying to keep as much as possible the vertical axes of movement. The views from the two sources alternate with various frequency in the process of editing...

PARADE

Hans Op de Beeck
Parade is an art video staged by Hans Op de Beeck on the scene of a theatre. The red velvet curtain opens, a slow waltz, composed especially for this film, starts playing, while a seemingly endless cavalcade of people comes walking by, in slow motion, like a stream of passers-by in a street...

YODEL PORTRAIT PHIL MINTON

Myriam Van Imschoot
This portrait pays tribute to the British music legend Phil Minton and the many voices that live within his wide vocal range. Originally a trumpet player, Phil Minton developed a unique approach to his voice that sings back to the hum and din of the world. Sound is paint. The moving camera — as well as the light — encircle the singer as if meditating a riddle...

VIDÉO-FIL

Jacques Lennep
In his ‘relational’ video work Lennep investigates into art as an idiom and a structure; how to perceive art and the relationship between art and society. ‘Vidéo-fil’ is a recording of a performance. During a first act Lennep draws an uninterrupted, squiggly line on his face, with a black felt-tip, after which he envelops his head with tape...

The Belgian artist Jan Vercruysse (°1948) is best known for his photographic self-portraits and his sculptures. His oeuvre has been influenced by his previous practice, namely poetry, and by the theatre, but often it enigmatically refers to masterpieces and artistic movements of the past...
