PIECES OF BARCELONA

Alberta Sessa
Walks around a city; movement, people. A variety of moving and motionless objects. The gaze tries to catch up with what the city has to offer but the perspective is constantly crossed by passers-by, from left to right and right to left. For a moment they’re caught in the frame, a moment later they continue their journey and life outside the frame...

THE RESIDENCE (A WAGER FOR THE AFTERLIFE) (SINGLE SCREEN VERSION)

Katleen Vermeir - Ronny Heiremans
The Residence (a wager for the afterlife) focuses on the artist as entrepreneur in a global society that qualifies economy as the single measure of things.

Two figures stroll through it without ever meeting each other, and cast a circumspect gaze on this architecture they will ultimately fail to appropriate....

LOOKING DOWN

Bernard Gigounon
A ship, filmed from above, is slowly moving through the image: the bow, the deck, and the metal cover plates. As soon as the camera arrives at the load, however, consisting of sand and stones, something weird happens: the load turns into a Martian landscape, it seems as if the camera is transforming into a satellite, exploring some barren planet...
