OVERVIEW TITLES

ROND EST LE MONDE

Olivier Dekegel
In the company of a mule and a Super8 camera, a filmmaker walks through the world enchanted by the beauty of all things. Inspired by Saint Francis of Assisi's "Praise of the Creatures", an enlightened and candid contemplation driven by the changing light of seasons. This film is an invitation to a voyage, a voyage around the world with the most simple and humble of all animals, the donkey...

PHANTOM SUN

Alexis Destoop
In 2013 Alexis Destoop embarked on a series of travels to the border area between Norway and Russia – a counter-point with Australia: the cold and dark, snow and ocean are completely the opposite of the warm, sunny, dry desert climate. And yet both regions are subject to similar processes, hence the artist’s interest...

WAR IS OVER

Roy Villevoye - Jan Dietvorst
In making contact with this major historical event, the sight of someone who has experienced battle has to be the ultimate outcome. Likewise a film about a cemetery can’t therefore do without the sight of someone dead. The search for unknown soldiers in the battlefield often is undertaken with opposing motivations...

AS…

Peter Downsbrough
A video triptych (‘And’, ‘Here’, ‘As...) ‘fully recorded in the area around Lille and Tourcoing, commissioned for the exhibition ‘La ville qui fait signes’ at Le Fresnoy (Tourcoing, France, autumn 2004)...

THE DRESS

Ken Kobland
THE DRESS is a projection prop created for a performance piece at the Art Institute in 1984. It was installed in March 2021, suspended in front of a building on the Bowery as both a memorial to my grandmother, a Hungarian immigrant and master seamstress, and to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911, which occurred a few blocks north of this site.

A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CLARITY

Emmanuel Van der Auwera
Teenagers are watching a video on internet while videotaping their own reactions. Fragments after fragments, this loose community express their comments and witness a deep trouble in an ever more invading off-camera space. We are caught between two images: the missing one being watched and the image of the spectator. This ultra thin angle opens a breach on the multiple dimensions of dismay...

UNTITLED PART 4: TERRA INCOGNITA

Jayce Salloum
terra incognita focuses on fragments of histories, of pre-European contact, contact, and settlement of the Kelowna (south-central B.C.) area though the accounts of several N’Syilx’cen (Okanagan Nation) speakers...

WAITING FOR THE SECRET

Meggy Rustamova
Waiting for a Secret takes it starting point from a picture, revealing its secrets by zooming into the various details. Gradually, the picture becomes alive, raising issues such as isolation, linguistical confusion, pixelisation and the suggestion of movement within a still image....

OCCUPIED

Peter Downsbrough
The film is shot entirely within the site of the Cité Administrative in Brussels. In an interview during the early stages of this project, Peter Downsbrough said : " I use film to introduce time within my observation. Its very unfolding makes film the ideal means to do this"...

WAAROVER MEN NIET SPREEKT 1: HOME SWEET HOME

Jef Cornelis
’Home Sweet Home’ is a manifesto against the dictatorship of the bourgeois notion of the ideal home. ’I rented a house with a garden’ is still a current slogan, even if people buy apartments, villas and country-houses. People attempt to hide themselves in their homes and as a consequence a kind of social isolation arises that prevents the necessary community spirit...
