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...

HET GOUDEN KALF / LE VEAU D'OR

Jan Vromman
“Het Gouden Kalf” (“The Golden Calf”) is the report of a performance held in 2002. During the “Top of Laeken”, an anti-globalist manifestation in Brussels, the Golden Calf - a sculpture on a carrying board in true size - was carried in a procession to the European Parliament. The Golden Calf is, of course, the symbol for the adoration of power and money...

THE MARTYR

Hubert Marécaille
Finding himself in a dream alone locked in a glass cage, beginning to panic, an office worker, on his way to work the next day and still marked by his nightmare, panics suddenly, – finding himself surrounded by a dense crowd, while trying to flee to be alone, suddenly oppressed by the outside world, or unconsciously, by his inner world...  ...

HET SCHILDERIJ DAT ROND DE ZON WOU DRAAIEN

Luc Gobyn
A painter caught between art, philosophy and a strong inclination towards science and drinking is involved in a struggle with the means of expression. Nonetheless determined to find a language allowing him to express himself appropriately, he impulsively jumps on a plane. In a new landscape he realises he is free to tell what he wants, anyway he wants...

HOUSEWARMING

Effi Weiss - Amir Borenstein
In a two-dimensional dystopian landscape of deserted half-built houses in Albania, a new mythology is in the making. The filmmakers, perhaps a contemporary incarnation of Goldilocks from the tale of the Three Bears, invade the houses and occupy their empty, liminal space and its missing furniture...

RAW MATERIALS

Justin Bennett
Based on personal memories reaching way back into time, Raw Materials creates a resonant patchwork with fragments of field recordings originating from divergent cities like Fribourg (Switzerland), Barcelona or Beirut. With a pitch-black image as canvas – a technique that actively shifts the attention towards the sound – snow-white text lines appear one by one in typewriter style...
