ICI (UNE LETTRE À CHANTAL AKERMAN)

Bram Van Paesschen
ICI is a parody which by its very nature might at first seem trivial or gratuitous. The film is a remake with a vengeance of Chantal Akerman’s Là-bas. ICI (French for ‘Here’) takes place not in Tel-Aviv – Akerman’s Là-bas (‘There’) – but in Brussels, where Van Paesschen lives...

STARFIGHTER

Wolf Vostell
'Starfighter' contains images of war scenes, ranging from simply figurative to invisible or almost erased. The images were filmed directly from the television screen with a Super 8 camera: blurred footage on a harrowing sound that illustrates particularly well a point Marshall McLuhan made: the media subtly manipulate information. (Berta Sichel)...
