PIANISTE

Michel François
Filmed from above, a beggar with a Casio toy on his lap. A few cents in the dish. Street noise. Pretend playing. The Casio’s sample tunes : Mozart’s Turkish March for instance. Passers by don’t notice his make-believe. They don’t truly see him. When others would tend to shut their eyes, the spectator keeps them wide open....

INCH'ALLAH

Ria Pacquée
An associative mosaic of tiny instances in images and sound, zapping from east to west, from Belgium to Tunisia, from France to Israel, Morocco or Yemen. A reflection of everyday reality.

MAGNUM BEGYNASIUM BRUXELLENSE

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...
