OVERVIEW TITLES

PERFORMING THE BORDER

Ursula Biemann
’Performing the Border’ is a video essay set in the Mexican-US border town of Ciudad Juarez, where U.S. industries assemble their electronic and digital equipment, located right across the border from El Paso, Texas. ’Performing the Border’ looks at the border as both a discursive and a material space constituted through the performance and management of gender relations...

UNTITLED PART 8: ESQUINA CALIENTE

Jayce Salloum
In Havana there is a park where every Sunday men gather to discuss and debate, vigorously and passionately for hours on end. The smallest details and the grandest schemes are mulled over, successes and failures, posturing for and against, supportive or criticized. Not without humour, it is an intense form of entertainment and theatre in a personal and collective environment...

THE HUNDRED VIDEOS 88. THREE DREAMS

Steve Reinke
I’m in Chichen Itza and walking from the ball court to the big pyramid and it’s just about to get dark....

INCIDENTS OF TRAVEL

Steve Reinke
‘Incidents of travel’ is an adventure story in which each exciting incident or episode is relayed as a title. The title is taken from John Stephen’s 1853 novel ‘Incidents of travel in Yucatan’. The soundtrack, which proceeds very slowly, is a stretched version of ’Popcorn’ by Hot Butter. This is also, perhaps, a homage to (or parody on) structuralist film....

TECHNOCALYPS

Frank Theys
Technocalyps is a 3 part documentary about ‘transhumanism’, an ideology assuming that we approach an era where humans, as we know them, are no longer the driving force of civilization. All technological developments seem to converge to one main goal: to overcome humanity, to try and create something transhuman...

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....

SILENT CONVERSATIONS

Eva Giolo
Hand-processed and self-printed 16mm reversal and negative colour films, Silent Conversations is a study of twenty-second sequences of embraces that unfolds as a series of time-based portraits. ...

PROFIEL VAN DE ARCHITECT

Jef Cornelis

PULSATION

Pieter Geenen
Imprinted on the mountains of Northern Cyprus, the landmark of a Turkish Cypriot flag identifies the landscape and claims the land. As it is ever present and visible from almost every part of the island, this flag is acting as a continuous provocation to the Greek Cypriots on the other side of the UN buffer zone since the military division of Cyprus...

FOUNDLINGS

Orla Barry
’Foundlings’ was shot near Wexford, in the south east of Ireland where Orla Barry grew up. It is a  visual poem without a particular narrative and full of autobiographical elements, set at a very slow pace. Floating images and heavy voices are central to the associative strategy that is at work here...
