VISUALAX

Axel Claes
A video-critique on the concept of exploring the world as being ‘Im Wunderkabinet der Kulturen’. This enchantment made of separations and exotisms is present in many actual urban narratives and alternative cultural work pieces. It is deeply rooted in 19th century Western concepts on the other. Every village slowly slides into the archipelago of cultures...

4 X 4 – EPISODES OF SINGAPORE ART

Tzu Nyen Ho
The practice of Singaporean artist Ho Tzu Nyen defies easy categorisation. Ranging across painting, video, performance, lecturing and writing, Ho’s work blurs the boundaries between these genres, creating a complex interdisciplinary practice. 4x4 - Episodes of Singapore Art is an attempt to re-interpret four works of art by four Singaporean artists...

THE MAKING OF JUSTICE

Sarah Vanhee
"The Making of Justice" is a movie about seven prisoners working on the scenario for a crime film together with Sarah Vanhee. Like the main character in the film, they are all guilty of murder. To shape the story, they draw on their own experiences, ideas and desires...

FEUILLETON - THE SEVEN CAPITAL SINS

THE NATION

Pieter Geenen
The isolated people of Nagorno-Karabakh are living in a time vacuum since the cease fire of 1994. They live in a de facto independent country, but remain unrecognized as such by the international community. This area is still subject of an unresolved and long forgotten conflict which is the result of the collapse of the Soviet Union...

FUTUR ANTÉRIEUR (A.K.A. DISCIPLES OF THE HEINOUS PATH - PART 1: THE PAIN OF EVERYONE)

Herman Asselberghs
Clocking in just under twenty minutes, Herman Asselberghs’ Futur Antérieur is, for the most part, a decidedly ‘anti-retinal’ affair: it consists of fifteen minutes of utter, stifling blackness filled with quasi-intolerable noise and an occasional glimmer of distant, shimmering twilight...

DANS LA MACHINE

Hänzel & Gretzel
A physical crescendo giving birth to a radical link between the body and the spirit. A fine example of Hänzel & Gretzel’s golden age....

MIC MAC: AH, VOUS VOILÀ JOËLLE MILQUET! [PRÉSIDENTE DU PARTI CDH]

Claudio Pazienza
The magazine Mic Mac, conceived by RTBF and ARTE, offers a perspective on the present as it is confided to artists. Current events are rendered with a non-journalist, personal approach. Each of the sequences is an encounter in a polling booth with a Belgian personality. The texts are projected onto a prompter, objects, sounds are offered to the guest as a cause for ironic exposure....

CONTAINER 03: DE PUNTZAK VAN HEINE

Jef Cornelis
“What is it with history: providence, coincidence, irony or fate?”. This is a quote from one of the letters that have been selected to be read out in the letter project ‘De Puntzak van Heine’. The project is extended through the medium of television, reflecting on a number of inherent questions...

BOUWEN IN BELGIË

Jef Cornelis
A documentary that attempts to analyse the process of building as it is drawn in the minds and mentality of the people who occupy the house. It is a cinematic expression that wants to present examples of the ways in which the occupants, oriented on the pragmatic, create their own environment in spite of the official regulations...
