The starting point is a Super 8mm amateur film, Donne emergete!, made in 1975 by filmmaker Isabella Bruno...
STANDARD TRIANGULATION
Adam LeechPresented in an ingenious mise-en-scene, Adam Leech introduces the concept of triangulation. Such a “trialogue” can describe social, as well as legal, governmental or family situations better than a dialogue. A jazz singer is shown. While she performs jazz standards, she’s distracted by something off screen...

This vivid movie is supported by a hallucinated tenderness of dance à la Rimbaud, performed in the big tradition of surrealism and happiness of free spirits...

VLAANDEREN IN VOGELVLUCHT
Jef CornelisAn outlook on Flanders from the air. The familiar landscape is explored as it could never be explored before and this liberating experience makes it even more familiar in many ways. The spaces, plains and roads are taken up as part of a bigger unity – like on a roadmap, if it weren’t for the fact that the movement could make the exploration take place in a much more physical way...
