SURFACE NOISE
Inneke Van Waeyenberghe'Surface noise’ is about being constantly on the surface of something or someone when one doesn’t know intimacy, when one keeps forgetting intimacy and the body and is consequently forced to discover it over and over again. It’s about the relationship between intimacy and the not knowing of body language and body codes...
LET'S TRY TO FIND OUT WHAT GOES ON IN THE MALE BARRACKS
Anne-Mie Van KerckhovenSymbolism is the bridge between Romanticism and Modernism. The recordings for this movie started during summer 2004 in Antwerp, in AMVK’s studio in Belgium. There she filmed the Symbolist, personified by painter-fortune teller Louis Wuytack, and the romantic, personified by musician Mauro Pawlowski...
JAMES ENSOR IN OOSTENDE CA 1920
Guillaume BijlThe highly individual and visionary work of James Ensor (1860-1949), familiar for its masquerades, carnival scenes and grotesque caricatures, is not easily categorized under any modern genre. Ensor had close ties with Ostend, where he was born and continued to live, and it was the source of inspiration for many of his works...
CROTUS PILARUS
Harald ThysThis video is a cool and minimalist observation of a house, its various rooms, and the discussions between two men and a woman. The camera functions as a silent voyeur; it keeps its distance, carefully framing empty spaces, lifeless ornaments and human presence. Here man is but an element within its physical surroundings, a sign of life, a bundle of emotions...

PATRIA (VIVE LE ROI! VIVE LA RÉPUBLIQUE!)
Koen TheysVideo installation for 1 projector and 1 flat screenmonitor. In his book ‘The End of History and the Last Man’, the American philosopher Francis Fukuyama defends the idea that the end of history is reached. All the big ideologies of the 20th century have come to an end, he says, and they have made place for a post-ideological, neo-liberal pragmatism...
VLAANDEREN IN VOGELVLUCHT
Jef CornelisAn outlook on Flanders from the air. The familiar landscape is explored as it could never be explored before and this liberating experience makes it even more familiar in many ways. The spaces, plains and roads are taken up as part of a bigger unity – like on a roadmap, if it weren’t for the fact that the movement could make the exploration take place in a much more physical way...
LA VIE COMPLEXE
Reinaart VanhoeA repetitious experiment made with a found footage-sequence. The image, showing a group of schoolchildren mounting a stairway, is blurred and distorted by wire fencing. The ragged soundtrack, at first totally incomprehensible, gets clearer and clearer as the image gradually focuses. "The complex life shows itself bit by bit to him’’, a French voice reads out at the end....
