PAPILLON D'AMOUR
Nicolas ProvostPapillon d’amour is based on key scenes from Akira Kurosawa’s classic Rashômon [1950], which are modified by a simple intervention: the insertion of a vertical axis of reflection through the image center. This central axis defines the focus of agency and, at the same time, the sphere of maximum turbulence on the image plane...
A CITY REMIX
Kurt D'HaeseleerAn answer to the genre of “city symphonies”, ‘A City Remix’ offers a look at the generic, expanded and ex/imploded contemporary cities. Sociological, urban, economical and personal patterns are woven into a work where each image relates both to every other image and to daily life. An attempt to show what our high-speed culture has made invisible...

THE WAVE
Sarah Vanagt - Katrien VermeireIn "The Wave" the archaeological gaze of the viewer is set in motion: a mass grave from the Spanish Civil War (1936–39) opens and closes itself.

BIBA-NON-BIBA
Hänzel & GretzelThis whirling dance tape is a visual odyssey from Beirut to Berlin, a woman’s story set in the oppressive civil fragmentation of two divided cities where images of destruction and reconstruction are intermingled. A cutting edge poetic short, that maps out the roots of inner and outer landscapes...
