GOSPELS

Erik Bünger
With His terrible beauty, passion and drive, He has a profound effect on the people whose lives He touches. His presence generates a physical and spiritual experience, a euphoria that fascinates and frightens...

ENTRE NOUS QUELQUE CHOSE SE PASSE...

Ria Pacquée
In the work of Ria Pacquée the relative and the existential converge. She records her presence and that of others in this world, using photography and recently video, like traces of social archaeology. Pacquée begins with the premise that life doesn’t necessarily revolve around knowing and grasping, but that everything starts with breathing and a longing for otherness...

PERFORMANCE METRO MEIR

Ria Pacquée
As the title indicates, this video is a recording of a performance that Pacquée did together with Danny Devos in 1979. Standing on the lowest metro platform, Pacquée is on a small wooden square. With white duck tape she has made a bigger square around it, of which she keeps on enlarging the edges with new pieces of tape...

PISSENLIT

Michel François
A dandelion (pissenlit in French) which will not blow away, in spite of the efforts of the breathless cameraman......

IN [ TO

Peter Downsbrough
The silent, ultra-short black-and-white video IN [ TO is shorter than a video clip: it clocks in at 2 minutes, 47 seconds. It was made with material shot exclusively for the film, plus footage filmed 'on the occasion', while Downsbrough was working on other projects...

EUROPALIA: STEDELIJK MUSEUM AMSTERDAM 60-70

Jef Cornelis
Dutch and International Art, 1960 to 1970: the exhibitions of works from the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam were prepared by the museum for Europalia and presented at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. Geert Bekaert talks to the director of the Stedelijk Museum, M. de Wilde, and this conversation is alternated with pictures of the works from the collection. Original broadcast date: 24/09/1971...

DOUBLE TAKE

Johan Grimonprez
Director Johan Grimonprez casts Alfred Hitchcock as a paranoid history professor, unwittingly caught up in a double take on the cold war period. The master says all the wrong things at all the wrong times while politicians on both sides desperately flounder to say the right things, live on television...

UNIVERSAL STORY

Jung-Kyun Shin
This work starts with the artist visiting the military unit in which he served. It features his recollection of military service, a trip to the places in the narrative, and drawings of his memories. The artist juxtaposes his memories of military service with private memories, asking if special memories are general for all Korean men, related to a rite of passage....

FORMER EAST / FORMER WEST

Shelly Silver
"Made up of hundreds of street interviews done in Berlin two years after the Reunification, Former East/Former West is a vital, surprisingly open, and at times disturbing documentary about what it means to be German at this particular moment in history. For forty-five years, residents of this divided city lived radically different lives, both in terms of ideology and everyday experience...

KUNST ALS KRITIEK. WANNEER IS KUNST WEL KRITIEK? 3. WANNEER EEN CARTOON AAN POLITIEK DOET

Jef Cornelis
This film is part of a series of short thematic sketches focusing on the question Wanneer is Kunst Wel Kritiek? (When is Art Criticism?). In this third episode, the answer – which also serves as title – is “when a cartoon moves into politics”. As a caricature as such has a critical function, the act of drawing can always be made to fit some political stance...
