THAT'S THE WAY IT IS

Messieurs Delmotte
Messieurs Delmotte further explores his fascination for the hidden fantasies of the human body, with the intention of exposing it completely. In ’That’s the way it is’ parts of the body keep coming into focus, deprived of their context, conspicuously in the foreground of city views....

UN PEINTRE SOUS SURVEILLANCE

Boris Lehman
"After many years of friendship I wanted to make another film with Arié Mandelbaum, a sort of portrait of the painter 20 years later. Not to explain the unexplainable, or introduce anything lacking in the first movie, but just return to the central question of the nature of painting, of what a painter is...

BUNCH OF FLOWERS

Messieurs Delmotte
Messieurs Delmotte, as always dressed in a dandy-like costume, holds a bouquet of yellow roses. What does he have in mind for them? A few seconds later it becomes clear. Violently he starts spinning them around with the help of a drill. Delmotte keeps on spinning and spinning, until the roses are completely demolished. This work is part of the series Brokendown Dream...

VAS-Y MON ANGE TOI AUSSI TU EN AS UNE BELLE

Angel Vergara
As Straatman, Vergara was sitting in a tent on the street, right in front of the Gallery for Fine Arts in Brussels, where on that day an exhibition by Rombouts and Droste was opening, and later beside the Centre for Fine Arts. He carried painter’s equipment and spoke to spectators...

ANINA

Alkaios Spyrou
Anina documents a voyage onboard a container ship, crossing into Baltic. In the form of a film-essay without a narrator, the film assumes the point of view of these iron cathedrals, the industrial maritime landscape they exist in, and the aesthetic spectacles they produce midst the logistical cacophony of capitalism and territory....

PRESSURE

Jan Dietvorst - Roy Villevoye
A portrait of Mumbai as a pressure cooker. The city could boil over at any moment. The attacks in November 2008 only serve to up the ante. Pressure feels as if the makers, and the viewers too, have suddenly landed in a pandemonium: Mumbai (Bombay). Life in this human ants’ nest occasionally turns out to be still rural and small-town...

LE LOUP

Hänzel & Gretzel
Le Loup (The Wolf) is a thirty seconds clip by Hänzel & Gretzel. The editing brings together manipulated images and saturated sound. In this quick editing of shredded fragments, a filtered television screen and a digital drawn diabolic monster are combined with a repeated part of a speech and noisy music...

THE RETURN OF THE WITNESS

Ria Pacquée
In "The Return of the Witness" Ria Pacquée distils her concern for the passing infra-ordinary world into a series of probing contrasts between the chaotic thoroughfares of King’s Cross St Pancras and the barren railways lands nearby. “Following the crowd will lead you to destruction!” shouts a woman at Speakers’ Corner...

SLOW OBJECT 04

Edith Dekyndt
'Slow Object 04' is close-up video and it shows a delicate manipulation of an ordinary round rubber band bobbing up and down in slow motion. As if the movement of the disc and the hand takes place in an aquarium, the object appears to be suspended as escaping Earth’s gravity: it slightly deforms and it rarely returns to the initial point...
