OVERVIEW TITLES

SUPER-SUPERPOSITION

Filip Francis
Two men are sitting in a film studio. On the background the viewer hears the sound of opera music. Close-ups of the men’s faces reappear on the TV monitors at the bottom of the screen. The same concept is repeated, but now the men are standing up and moving their arms....

CONCRETE & SAMPLES II: BLOCKHAUS

Aglaia Konrad
Concrete & Samples I, II, III is a series of 16mm films on sculptural architecture. What the buildings and site in all films have in common is the idea of ‘architecture as sculpture’ and a very distinct use of concrete that seem to depart from the free form of the whole in a sculptural manner...

L'OMBRELLE DESCENDANT UN ESCABEAU

Jacques Louis Nyst
In 'L’ombrelle descendant un escabeau’ (a title directly quoting Marcel Duchamp’s 'Nu descendant un escalier’) Jacques Louis Nyst appears once more as the explorer who discovers for the first time a common and well-known object, the paper parasol this time. He tries to explain its origins, way of life, and even reproductive techniques...

TRAVELOGUE 3: ALCHEMY BRUXELLOISE

L'IMAGE

Jacques Louis Nyst - Danièle Nyst
An image has disappeared at Presseux Village: under a garden shelter, a piece of landscape is missing from the décor. The media and scientists from the whole world ponder over this disappearance. Will our heroes manage to get to the bottom of this mystery?...

HEXHAM HEADS

Chloë Delanghe - Mattijs Driesen
Tinted by the red safelight of the darkroom, the film (re)constructs a breathless pastoral horror about a place crystallized in time and terrorized by two 6cm tall stone heads whose current location remains unknown...

THE HUNDRED VIDEOS 31. LONELY BOY

Steve Reinke
When I was fourteen years old I was a fat kid - I mean, that’s putting it blunt. I was 170 pounds. I was a heavy kid and it didn’t look like I was meant for show business at all. But I had that bubbling inside of me and I wanted to sing. And I did....

CONSTANT

Marie André
A woman, a man, and a beach on the North Sea are the basic elements with which André constructs an elegant fiction of a couple, and deconstructs the codes and gestures of desire and betrayal. In her formal, rhythmic compositions, André observes the intimate detail and familiar gestures of the everyday with striking visual acuity...
