NEMAWASHI CACAHUÈTE (A-SIDE)

Charley Case
The work of Charley Case is often based on a binary notion. This video is constituted by a two-part form, modelled after a peanut. It is the biotope of pairs of organisms, uprooted bodies evolving around each other, cherishing each other ephemerally or ultimately melting into an intangible unity...

SAGA SACHETS, LÉGENDE DU VAL D’OURTHE ET DE L’AMBLÈVE

Jacques Louis Nyst - Danièle Nyst
Saga Sachets are light envelopes that are carried on air currents. They arrive shortly before spring at the Ourthe and Amblève valleys, where they land upside down. In this position, they murmur the stories that they have collected during the year to the planet. Our narrators attempt to uncover their mysterious origin....

THE TOY SUN

Ken Kobland
A rumination on Time, with a capital "T". Time and its ravages, which really just means its progression, its nature. Set off by an "old" poem, a T.S. Eliot poem that’s literally haunted me for 30? or 40? yrs...even before I became an old man myself. (It’s an old man’s rumblings, and it never fails to move me...

CAPTIVE HORIZON

Lukas Marxt
Captive Horizon operates on a delicate line between reality and illusion.

DE STRAAT

Jef Cornelis
There is not much more left of the street than – to use a term by Le Corbusier – a machine of movement, equipped to make traffic run smoothly. The street in its original and spontaneous form, as a breeding ground for new life, is restrained. The efficiency controlling the traffic grid does not merely affect the existing living area, but also the form and pattern of new living...

FILMCLUB SITUATIONS

Luc Deleu
The first ’situation’ shows a sticker on a car that says ’Koninklijke filmgroep van Antwerpen’ (Royal Film Group from Antwerp). The viewer is left to guess that the people recording images of streets, cars and each other are members of this film group, putting their art into practice. The second part of the film consists of a time-lapse account of different actions...

REEL TO REEL

Teresa Cos
Accompanied by a solemn chant - which slowly becomes the feedback sound of a distorted guitar in loop - the miniature boats of the Mini-Europe theme park in Brussels appear one after the other, seamlessly. The models fade into each other intersecting reflections of great European landscapes, leaving the way to an eerie underwater world...
