BOUWEN IN BELGIË
Jef CornelisA documentary that attempts to analyse the process of building as it is drawn in the minds and mentality of the people who occupy the house.

RUE DE L'AVENIR
Philippe Van DammeVan Damme’s main preoccupation seems to be time, or better: the visualisation of time. For ’Rue de l’Avenir’ he uses 45 photos of a straight track or (re)construction: the track for a new subway line in Molenbeek (Brussels). The editing moves up and down among this mutilated city-space: a witty study on time and the changing environment...
