OVERVIEW TITLES

DETERMINATION (4)

Hans Op de Beeck
This video image is projected life-size on a wall. It’s an eight-minute, real-time recording, appearing on a white surface, then disappearing and repeating itself without end; very important to realise: this is not a loop. We are confronted heads on with a family (a man, a woman, 2 little children) running towards us, but on the spot, without actually moving closer...

PANAMARENKO, ANTWERPEN 1940

Jef Cornelis
In a gallery in Bergeyk (the Netherlands) young Panamarenko elucidates on Donnerwolke (1971) and other models of flying objects. The result is an image of Panamarenko the dreamer, the small boy who likes to put together abstract puzzles, trying to get a grasp on how things work, on the infinite universe of miraculous variations...

FOOTBALLEUR

Michel François
For Michel François, beauty is to be found in everyday life, where emotion and astonishment are waiting. Begging in the Barcelonian Ramblas is a true matter of art and genius as Footballeur’s protagonist proves. This old soccer player sitting on the sidewalk keeps the ball bouncing in the air with his feet. For as long as he wants. Come rain or shine....

SNUFF COQ

OMBRE INDIGÈNE

Edith Dekyndt
A flag made of hair was stuck in the ground and filmed on top of rocks on the Diamant coast, in Martinique. There, precisely, on the night of the 8th of April 1830, a clandestine slave boat transporting a hundred African captives washed up on the rocks before being entirely destroyed....

HEIR TO THE EVANGELICAL REVIVAL

Wendy Morris
A great number of my forebears fled or emigrated to South Africa due to their religious convictions. French and Flemish Huguenots in the 17th century, English Protestant missionaries and clergy in the 19th century. Though I am atheist-agnostic-apostate i must trace my South Africanism to the religious convictions of my ancestors. I like church spaces and architecture...

GIL

Eva Giolo
At the core of this film collage is the artist’s search for the face of her deceased twin brother, who died without leaving behind any photographic record. Using archive footages and her own home movies, paradoxically his absence is rendered perceptible through a profusion of images. An indirect portrait as the confirmation of an existence....

THE DOUBLE

Roy Villevoye - Jan Dietvorst
An exacting sculpture of a white, middle-aged male is hammered out. Voiceovers breathe life into the man whilst his appearance is accurately reconstructed. The empty shell becomes a personality thanks to the voices from the Netherlands and Papua, but who is this man really? The impression created and substantiated is simultaneously mysterious and revealing....

ONLY A FREE INDIVIDUAL CAN CREATE A FREE SOCIETY

Grace Schwindt
Only a Free Individual Can Create a Free Society revisits discussions that Schwindt witnessed during her childhood, surrounded by radical leftwing individuals in Frankfurt, Germany...
