MADRIGAAL
Lili DujourieA bare wooden floor fills the screen. Encircled tightly by the camera, a clothed figure rolls, folds and unfolds upon itself between pauses of variable duration. Resorting to the close-up reinforces the sculptural aspect of the body. A contrapuntal rhythm emerges as each successive change in form overlaps the previous one in a movement that never discloses the contours of a fixed state of being...
GENT, 10 JUNI 1989, VOOR GERALDINE NEREA (PART OF PAS DE DANSE)
Jan VrommanIn this video Vromman shows us virtuoso how a “plan séquence” is capable of exploring a given spatial arrangement notably an abandoned church in Ghent. It is as though the camera possesses a will of its own, or, more appropriately, as it became itself a dancer within the given space...
MIC MAC: AH, VOUS VOILÀ MARIE VANHAUTE! [VENDEUSE AMBULANTE D'ESCARGOTS]
Claudio PazienzaThe magazine Mic Mac, conceived by RTBF and ARTE, offers a perspective on the present as it is confided to artists.

Justin Bennett"A city could start like this drawing: first there`s an empty space and then an event: a dot on the paper." The animated film ’City of Progress’ traces the growth of an imaginary city as it expands from a single dot into a proliferation of lines and geometric forms, representing the physical development of a city...

ONE FLAT THING, REPRODUCED
Thierry De MeyThe director of a dance film is inevitably confronted with the task of 'translating' from one medium to another. If it's a case of filming a "cult" choreography that pre-dates the film, the additional challenge is the "duty of recall" since the film of the choreography will carry with it, into some future time, the memory of its theatrical representation...
