THE THREAD
Hans Op de BeeckA Chinese proverb says that an invisible thread connects those destined to meet, despite time, place and circumstances. The thread can be tightened or tangled, but will never be broken. Taking this clear and simple metaphor as my starting point, I created a video as a visual love poem about a punk girl and boy who grow old together. Love and death here go hand in hand...

Philippe de PierpontIn 1991, de Pierpont worked for the first time with six forward young boys, living in a tight group on the streets of Bujumbura in Burundi.

THE ROOF
James NaresThe precariousness yet simplicity of the black and white video ‘Roof’ shows Nares encased at the neck by a swinging wooden plank that seems to whip his unseen body over the edge of a roof. By employing an illusionist trick with his camera, Nares’ seemingly disembodied head drifts eerily through lower Manhattan...

LA VIE COMPLEXE
Reinaart VanhoeA repetitious experiment made with a found footage-sequence. The image, showing a group of schoolchildren mounting a stairway, is blurred and distorted by wire fencing. The ragged soundtrack, at first totally incomprehensible, gets clearer and clearer as the image gradually focuses. "The complex life shows itself bit by bit to him’’, a French voice reads out at the end....
