LESSONS IN BEAUTY (ANTOON VAN DYCK)
Stefaan DecostereA portrait of Antoon Van Dyck, often called "the Mozart of painting". If there is an enigma about Van Dyck’s character, it is complicated by a scarcity of first hand accounts of him and the almost complete lack of letters by his hand. In the nineteenth century he was often cast, disparagingly, as Rubens’s brilliant but degenerate successor - effeminate, dissolute, irresolute...
EXOTICORE
Nicolas ProvostAn immigrant from Burkina Faso attempts to integrate into Norwegian society. The film explores the question of what it is like to be a foreigner searching for a niche in today’s world, and addresses the notions of solitude and contemporary insanity. Exoticore is an odyssey through our multicultural society complete with its alienation and prejudices. A dark journey into exoticism....

EVERYBODY
Steve Reinke - Jessie MottSteve Reinke never shrinks from exploring fears and desires, and ’Everybody’ is no exception. The video is disconcertingly simple, consisting of a number of crudely drawn animals, roughly and luridly coloured. As these animals move their mouths, voice-overs speak of bodily fluids, pain and disgust in a matter-of-fact manner, the strange made ordinary by the vocal performances...
POUR LA MÈRE ET LA FILLE
Olivier DekegelAn impressionist elegy about spring, water, light and motherly love, shot from the shoulder on Super 8. Connecting colourful snapshots and intimate scenes the film constitutes a homage to the candour, the cordiality and poetical nature of amateur films, home movies and domestic holiday shoots, which have developed over a couple of decades into conventionalised visual representations of the world...
LOST IN TIME
Patrick BernatchezIn Lost in Time, two parallel narratives intertwine: the first follows a helmet-clad, faceless horse and rider adrift in an indeterminate landscape of ice and snow, quite literally lost in time and space, while the second seems to allude to a strange scientific experiment. Lost in Time plunges us into perpetual renewal, each ending leading to a new beginning...
IN [ TO
Peter DownsbroughThe 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...
GAME OF STONES
Mira Sanders - Cédric NoëlThe film Game of Stones retraces the action of a 3-day excavation project of the artist collective The Mental Masonry Lab (14 to 16 November 2014) in connection with Hôtel Charleroi 2014 in the heart of lower town of Charleroi (B)....

CONCRETE & SAMPLES I: WOTRUBA WIEN
Aglaia KonradConcrete & Samples I, II, III is a series of 16mm films on sculptural architecture. What the buildings and site in all films have in common is the idea of ‘architecture as sculpture’ and a very distinct use of concrete that seem to depart from the free form of the whole in a sculptural manner...
