DE KUNST VAN HET BOOMHAKKEN / L'ART DE COUPER UN ARBRE

Jan Vromman
Vromman explores the role of women in society by means of the strangest of all byways. Subject of his documentary is the Flemish monk-missionary-priest-writer-photographer André De Smet. Centrally in De Smet’s thinking is -perhaps surprisingly for a Trappist monk- woman. In ancient time there existed a matriarchal in which a sacral sexuality was central...

ONE BY ONE

Marie Voignier - Vassilis Salpistis
One by one is a fifteen minute experimental film-collage, which is composed by a number of testimonies and texts relating to historical events and crisis in Greece. The assemblage converges the exploration of contemporary applications of the function of myth. To a great extend consisting of filmed photographs, even when in motion the images of the film suggest the stillness of a stable shot...

ZIMMER, GESPRÄCHE

Dora García
A Leipzig apartment is the chosen setting for an encounter between a Stasi officer and a civilian informant in ‘Zimmer Gespräche’ (‘Room, Conversations’). Until 1989, the Stasi was the all-powerful East-German police. However, neither the Stasi nor the city of Leipzig are ever specifically mentioned...

46BIS

Pascal Baes
46bis looks like primitive film, like pictures from way back you’ve just found in an old, dusty trunk up the attic. You run it cautiously through the projector and discover an amazing world. 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...

BRUXELLES, UNE VILLE EN ÉTÉ

Marie André
The scene is Brussels, a summer afternoon, and the city seems suspended, silent, waiting. A young girl reads a letter from a friend who is away from the city on vacation. André then opens the narrative — fiction? document? — into a journal of the city in summer, which she presents as an urban landscape of open, empty spaces, from pastoral parks to corporate plazas...

THE WAVE

Sarah Vanagt - Katrien Vermeire
In "The Wave" the archaeological gaze of the viewer is set in motion: a mass grave from the Spanish Civil War (1936–39) opens and closes itself. In 2011 we placed a camera above the spot where nine victims were buried after their execution by Franco’s supporters in June 1939...

AN ORDER OF THINGS

Grace Schwindt
The performance took place at the Badischer Kunstverein in Karlsruhe in September 2014. One performer is hovering horizontally a meter above the ground and the other, a magician, is sitting on a chair in a corner, turned away from the audience. She gets up four times to carry out dance choreographies and then sits down again...

THERE ARE NO IMAGES

Miguel Peres dos Santos
A proposal on a reflection upon a possible link between image and memory; between image and moment; and between image and death. A father, a son and a dead child engage in a dialogue constructed departing from the a moment. “does an image die?”; “and if an image dies”… “what will happen to memory?”...

COLOURS

Hans Op de Beeck
‘Colours’ shows a series of portraits in a loop. The first images are static, and the shots are as elaborate as paintings. Detailed colour and frame compositions reinforce the ties with painting. But then there is movement, the blinking of an eye, and the immobility that follows it gets a whole new meaning....

PATERSHOL, GENT

Jef Cornelis
After a general view of the city Ghent, its horizon and roofs, we are confronted with views of streets and houses in one particular district that is threatened with demolition. A poster announces protest actions against the demolition of the Patershol district....
