TABLEAU AVEC CHUTES : VOYAGE DANS UN TABLEAU DE PIETER BRUEGHEL "PAYSAGE AVEC LA CHUTE D'ICARE", PEINT VERS 1555 QUELQUE PART EN BELGIQUE

Claudio Pazienza
A journey full of irony, and nevertheless serious, through a painting by Brueghel (Landscape with the Fall of Icarus), through a country (Belgium) and through the diary of the author. Shot between June and November 1996, between the official abolition of the death penalty and the White March, the film keeps asking the same question: "what does it mean to watch?"....

EEN VAGE BELOFTE VAN VERLANGEN

An van. Dienderen
‘Een vage belofte van verlangen’ (‘A Vague Promise of Desire’) is an exercise in creating a claustrophobic atmosphere through a multitude of disturbing images: a girl in a tunnel at night, a woman in the water (is she drowning?) and girls in underwear, hanging about the room (or is it a catwalk?)...

J'AI LA TÊTE QUI TOURNE

Their intention is to move the world and the night into a little grey corner...

MIC MAC: AH, VOUS VOILÀ PIERRE MARCOLINI! [CHOCOLATIER]

Claudio Pazienza
The magazine Mic Mac, conceived by RTBF and ARTE, offers a perspective on the present as it is confided to artists. Current events are rendered with a non-journalist, personal approach. Each of the sequences is an encounter in a polling booth with a Belgian personality. The texts are projected onto a prompter, objects, sounds are offered to the guest as a cause for ironic exposure....

A stream of images portray the artist’s every day life, inside his home and on the streets. The glimmering of city lights at night, the luring advertisements and the headlines of newspapers are captured on film...
