JOUR DE FÊTE

Bernard Gigounon
In this video Gigounon once again ventures on the broad footpath between reality and imagination. Science-fiction worlds are all around us, the only thing we have to do is allow our imagination to run freely. Gigounon backs us up with the assistance of a couple of simple video effects, so we can let go of the trivialities of reality, even for an instant...

HEDENDAAGSE KERKENBOUW OP EEN KEERPUNT

Jef Cornelis
Inspired by the book ‘In een of ander huis, kerkbouw op een keerpunt’, in which Geert Beckaert reflects on modern church building as a critical function, a number of thinkers and writers, priests and architects (Renaat Braem, Godfried Danneels, Réné Geysen and Geert Beckaert himself) address religious patronage in architecture in the past and the present, architecture as ...

NEAR AND FAR / NOW AND THEN

Ken Kobland
A two-part film, one part unedited camera footage of a late Autumn to Winter woods, and the other a highly manipulated blue-screen re-photography process. Each part mimics the action of the other. Each is involved with a background-foreground, motion-to-still image juxtaposition: with the whole to the part, the arrested moment to the one just gone, the nostalgia of space and time.

1937 [FIRST CHAPTER OF INSTALLATION, FRENCH VERSION]

Nora Martirosyan
"Two chapters, two time periods, one story. On the one hand, 1937, at the height of the Stalinist purges in Erevan, in the soviet Armenia, the year of the arrest of Nora Dabagian’s father who was a political dissident. On the other hand, 2006, the circumstantial story of this arrest related by the old woman, affectionally known as Baboulia, who was a very young girl in the 1930ies...

AKAROVA/BAUGNIET, L'ENTRE-DEUX-GUERRES

Ana Torfs - Jurgen Persijn
Based on eye-witness accounts and archival documents, this is a portrait of two important representatives of the Belgian avant-garde of the 1920s: Akarova, a dancer, and Marcel-Louis Baugniet, a painter and furniture designer. Using a black background and frontal light, the filming does not “correct” the reality of aging faces, but gives full play to memory...

BIKE

Messieurs Delmotte
Messieurs Delmotte jumps off his bike. The bicycle rolls on for a couple of more meters (without a cyclist), and ends up on the road. This work is part of the series Flying Chickens...

PRÉLUDE N°3

Bernard Gigounon
“It all happened one evening. I was in a bar, quietly having a drink. A man sat down beside me and as we were alone, we started talking together. We spoke about red wine, women and music and at this moment, I realized that this man was Claude Debussy. I told him that I made videos and explained my work to him...
