DÉLIRIUM VIDÉO 7
Jacques LennepPart seven in this series of short sketches, consists mainly of performances the artist gave in Belgium and abroad. Paying homage to amongst others Marcel Broodthaers and Belgian surrealists, we see the artist functioning as a ironic priest, giving away for free his artwork to the audience after he cut it into pieces, or making a new absurd installation in his studio based on found footage....
PANIQUE AU VILLAGE, ÉPISODE 6 : ROBIN
Stéphane Aubier - Vincent PatarWhile Bénédicte feeds the chickens at the farm, she is visited by Robin, a character who looks very much like the famous Robin Hood, though he is entirely incapable of handling bow and arrow. Yet he keeps trying and that is bound to result in accidents. Another jewel of animation: funny and made with love....

VLAANDEREN 77
Jef CornelisTogether with the author Leo Pleysier, Cornelis creates one of his most beautiful elegies of Flanders. They thumb through the landscape as if it were a book, seemingly of new, strange and unknown origins, a colourful patchwork veiling the remainders of smoking battlefields with its bizarre alluring and hidden charms and revealing fragments of a disaster area in its outer corners...
DIMBU
Harald Thys - Jos De GruyterStarting off from the proposition: “If it’s possible to do 100 km in one hour, it must be possible to do 100.000 km in 1.000 hours”, a number of experiments are developed with the realisation of this axiom as a final purpose. Three experts report on the different tests with slides, overhead projections and video....
