Y,X

Shelbatra Jashari
Shelbatra Jashari’s films are grounded in experimental films of the 1960s and ’70s, fused with contemporary concerns, both personal and social. Jashari creates fragmented, grainy, dreamy visual sequences that unfold randomly. ‘Y,X’ is a personal travelogue which leads through the Balkans to northern France...

DELETE FOREVER

Félix Côte
Every day, thousands of people choose to remove their content from social media. YouTube, in particular, is home to a large number of ephemeral amateur videos in which people express themselves about their daily lives. Although soon deleted, these clips do present a sincere landscape of our connected societies. Delete Forever proposes a ritualistic way of safeguarding these personal videos...

FIREBALL

Steve Reinke
"Soon a fireball will descend upon the city, destroying everything. I will be one of the ones that will burn the longest and brightest"....

SMOKE

Roy Villevoye
My new film Smoke on which I worked over the past half year or so, tells the story of my very good (Asmat-)friend Ndo, who got blind as a young boy. And how eventually he got new eyesight.

SYMPHONIE

Boris Lehman
Symphonie mixes fiction and reality. Before the camera Romain Schneid tells us the story of his claustrophobia, which started when at the age of twelve during the Nazi occupation, as a Jew he could not leave the tiny flat where he was hiding. He relates his story and plays all the characters of his tragedy all by himself. He invents, distorts, imagines a different end...

BATTLE OF THE TREES

Peter Finnemore
A static camera films a portion of a lined with trees landscape. Suddenly a man in a camouflage battle dress, namely the artist, zigzags with two shrubs on his hands. He shakes them and dances following the rhythm of a 60ies song....
