HOUSEGAME

Harald Thys
'Housegame' is a found-footage video with a voice-over of two friends that can only hear each other through a telephone connection. The two select a house and a character from a series of images and make up a story about what they see. It is as if they are able to enter houses from a distance and spy on people....

EVENTO

Marie André
André brings her minimal yet elegantly sensual aesthetic to this interpretation of dance for video. She writes that Evento is "a spectacle of dance filmed within the natural decor of a hangar. [It explores] opposition, the duality of two dancers in a variety of architectural movements that emphasize the dancers' strength...

FRANCOPHONES

Messieurs Delmotte
With a gas flame on the background and while holding a cigarette, Delmotte talks to the viewer in French about different cities. He calls Montréal the little Paris of North-America and thanks Paris for its crossroads. Delmotte then proclaims that Brussels is a deaf city that will end up dying in tradition.

SILENT CHINA

Mira Sanders
For ’Silent China’, Mira Sanders did not want to capture images, but sound. While the image remains black, subtitles give us a fragmented impression of a journey through China, including the exact place and date of the recordings. The video was presented together with a folder on which several drawings, conceived as a description of noise, had been printed...
