I LOVE KITTY KORTES LYNCH

Marc Vanrunxt - Robert Cash
A huge source of inspiration in the oeuvre of Marc Vanrunxt is the work of Fernand Khnopff (1858-1921), the figure head of Belgian symbolism. The atmosphere of dreams and evasion in Khnopff’s portraits is often an essential part of the recent performances by the choreographer...

UNDER THE CARS

Messieurs Delmotte
Messieurs Delmotte has his very own technique for crossing parking lots....

FABLE DE PLAGE OU LA LIBELLULE ET LE REQUIN

Joëlle Tuerlinckx
Example of a “film-récit film d’aventure”. We are shown fragments of the course taken by two objects fabricated on the beach and tied to balloons. The editing of the shortened version stays loyal to the chronology of the original shots. The objects work their way over the beach, slowed down every once in a while by obstacles or carried away by fierce gusts of wind...

BLACK RAIN WHITE SCARS

Lukas Marxt
Black Rain White Scars depicts a twilight of reality. With the steady shot of a Gotham-like cityscape, Lukas Marxt guides us between vestiges of visionary architecture and narrow planted apartment buildings. As we’re searching for our relational point within it, the overwhelming murmuring of the human, car, and boat traffic, at the same time marginalises our position...

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS - THE ANGST ARCHIVE

Ken Kobland
Kobland’s quiet, meditative video is a philosophical investigation, a travelogue of sorts, and, ultimately, a probing essay-film in the tradition of Aleksandr Sokurov or a late Godard...

LA VIE POLITIQUE DES BELGES

Jan Bucquoy

In this documentary he follows the 1999 election campaign of two mini parties. On the one hand there is Vivant, the party of Roland Duchâtelet, with a central topic of the right to a basic income for all...

THE LAND

Pieter Geenen
While walking through the landscape the camera explores the so called Canadian tobacco belt of Southwestern Ontario in three chapters. In the footsteps of the first European settlers on the American continent, the viewer discovers how the historical process of colonisation, cultivation and exploitation of the land is still being reflected in present day reality...

THE ROOT PROBLEM OF THE WORLD

Steve Reinke
This is adapted from a two-channel video installation of the same name I presented at Birch Libralato in conjunction with the Images Festival in Toronto in 2011. The footage is from reel-to-reel video documentation of the lecture Joseph Beuys gave at NSCAD in 1976 on the occassion of his honorary degree...
