Y,X
Shelbatra JashariShelbatra Jashari’s films are grounded in experimental films of the 1960s and ’70s, fused with contemporary concerns, both personal and social.

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...

IL Y A PAS DE FUMÉE SANS FEU
Angel VergaraVergara’s alter ego Straatman seems to be sitting on a compost heap. However, white smoke is escaping from underneath the white canvas, and eventually the canvas catches fire. The smoke refers to the work of Marcel Broodthaers, who frequently used smoke as a motif....
(GEDULD) WACHTEN, ATTENDRE, WAIT, WARTEN

EXTENDED HORIZON
Lukas MarxtLike a cultivated alien, Lukas Marxt wanders through a desert landscape guiding his reconnaissance by remote control. Everything is entirely normal, but both path and logic come to a sudden end at an abyss. Marxt perseveres while the sound of his alleged steps wafts away with the camera image into a void: three cheers for cinematic reality....
REEL TO REEL
Teresa CosAccompanied by a solemn chant - which slowly becomes the feedback sound of a distorted guitar in loop - the miniature boats of the Mini-Europe theme park in Brussels appear one after the other, seamlessly. The models fade into each other intersecting reflections of great European landscapes, leaving the way to an eerie underwater world...
COMPOSITIE
Marie AndréAndré re-organizes time, rhythm and sound in her portrait of the new music composer/pianist Walter Hus, constructing a study of the process of composing. Playing on the title's double meaning — "composition" and "composite" — André isolates musical gestures and fragments time, recomposing Hus' evolving composition...
