RETOUCHES ET RÉPARATIONS

Boris Lehman
"As I was shooting ’Story of My Life As Told by My Photographs’, part of which recounted my memories and the settings of my early childhood, I met up with my ‘oldest’ friend Richard Kenigsman (literally, ‘King’s Man’), whom I had known for more than sixty years. He had given me a photo album...

TABOURETS

Claude Cattelain
In the video ‘Tabourets’, recorded in stop-motion, Cattelain undertakes several attempts to build a globelike shape with straight, edgy stools. In his work Claude Cattelain tries to catch the essence of the volatile. His video miniatures are flashes of amazement and fragility, staged at times, or noticed in passing...

EVERYBODY

Steve Reinke - Jessie Mott
Steve Reinke never shrinks from exploring fears and desires, and ’Everybody’ is no exception.

AVALON

André Colinet
Avalon is the final part of a video trilogy in which André Colinet explores the changing emotions of various characters. Avalon shows the chance meeting of five characters. Their dialogues and their relationships waver between attraction and rejection, understanding and misunderstanding, solitude and love....

RITUS

André Colinet
This film is told through flashbacks, but without making it too obvious from the start. A man raped a girl, whom he knew from his group of friends, at night on a street corner. Images from this incident reappear throughout the film. Inside an empty room, except for a table and some chairs, people are drinking and talking. Among them there are the girl and the man. He seems nervous and angry...
