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...

1937 [INSTALLATION, FRENCH VERSION]

Nora Martirosyan

On the one hand, 1937, at the height of the Stalinist purges in Erevan, in the soviet Armenia, the year of the arrest of Nora Dabagian’s father who was a political dissident.

RAPT & HAPPY

Emily Vey Duke - Cooper Battersby
’Rapt & Happy’  reminds of a diary, secretly enjoyed but having been let lying around by Vey Duke herself, waiting for it to be found...

THE NOTHING THAT IS…

Ken Kobland
THE NOTHING THAT IS, comes out of the environment of our streets, these days; the 'virtual', 'other reality' which inhabits them. In the midst endless mining and searching for data, for information, for what's hidden (conspiratorially) in the everyday... It's bounded by 2 quotes (always words, I need them, what else can i say). One from a Wallace Steven's poem and the other from Robert Frank...

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.

Ria Pacquée
From her house, Ria Pacquée walks to the nearby art centre Extra City in Antwerp. She carries a long wooden lath that covers a large part of her face. While the setting might make one think of the typical comedy ladder drill, Pacquée performs her movements with precision and a deadpan seriousness....

AN ACT OF SHEATING

Ria Pacquée
At the end of the market, vendors are making their big sunshades ready for transport by covering them with a protective sheet. Blue, white, striped – these large umbrellas are as varied and individual as the vendors working them into their mismatched coverings...

INSIDE RUMOURS

Hugo Pauwels - Sabine Van Der Linden
Some buildings radiate a personality of their own through their shape and environment. Apparently they exist there, in and of themselves, unaffected by time and human restlessness. Still, every window hides an existence. This is the short story of one of these buildings, filmed over 24 hours, in which flashes of the people that live there and rumours peep through...

BOMBAY TAXI GIRL

Roy Villevoye
A large paining is carried from a billboard workshop through the busy streets of Bombay. The painting, which has no advertising message to convey, is then hung in a tree. Some passerby react excitedly, while others remain indifferent....

UNE TACHE DE SILENCE

Lili Dujourie
The first frame shows a corridor and a black light switch. A woman walks into the frame from the left, into the corridor, and then returns ... The stain on the wall, meaningless figure at first hand, gains meaning little by little. The space is constructed with a pronounced depth, with a foreground and a background, and with doors that lead to spaces beyond the frame...
