OVERVIEW TITLES

(SELF)TRACKING SHOT

Krassimir Terziev
In motion picture terminology, a tracking shot (also known as a dolly shot) is a shot in which the camera is mounted on a camera dolly, a wheeled platform that is pushed on rails in order to realise the movement of the viewpoint in the shot. Usualy that movement is centered on a present subject that is part of the narrative...

REPROMOTION

Jan De Cock
In Repromotion, the first film by the artist Jan De Cock, we see a new perspective opening up in his work. The title refers to the exhibition of the same name held at Bozar in summer 2009, which, together with the artist’s studio in Brussels, provides the backdrop for a surprising tableau...

THE HUNDRED VIDEOS 33. CHARMING MUTT

Steve Reinke
I once had a lover who would occasionally transform into a dog - and not even a purebred....

KORAAL

Lili Dujourie
Koraal (Coral, 1978) is constructed around the close-up image of fingers slowly peeling an orange, separating the segments of flesh and throwing the fruit’s sections, one by one, off-camera. This concrete action that doesn't represent anything but itself emits a heightened sensuality...

THE INVISIBLES' PARLIAMENT

Vincent Meessen
The narrative in ‘The Invisibles’ Parliament’ is based on ghost images. Two apparitions emerge from the darkness and lead us towards a still fountain where a crowd is waiting for them. The ‘fountain’ object is here poetically re-visited. Through a series of loose associations, this short film traces the roots of modernity...

WAAROVER MEN NIET SPREEKT 2: ALICE IN WONDERLAND

Jef Cornelis
This documentary, based on a scenario by Geert Bekaert, is an attack on the alienation induced by modern architecture and town-planning. In the monotonous suburbs, life dies away and boredom rules. The city centres are depopulated and dead. The community spirit is not stressed and the individual does not find expression...

CHALK TRACE

Esther Johnson
As a child in the 1950s, Ron Cockroft drew a chalk line from his school in Oldham to his home in Chadderton. CHALK TRACE commemorates and reanimates his graffiti journey through a now much-changed network of streets. The film was photographed in the original streets of Oldham as they stand today – over 60 years after Ron’s original graffiti...

DE STOEL WAAROP IK ZIT / LA CHAISE SUR LAQUELLE JE SUIS ASSIS

Jan Vromman
Jan Vromman is not actively concerned with the creation of an oeuvre; he rather makes an impulsive use of wide ranging styles and gestures. The DVD ’De stoel waarop ik zit’ (‘The Chair I Sit Upon’) consists of two parts...

KUNST EN CENSUUR (GROOT KEMPISCHE CULTUURDAGEN)

Jef Cornelis
In the spring of 1970 the 24th edition of the Culture Days of the Greater Kempen took place in Hilvarenbeek, in the southern part of the Netherlands, just over the border with Belgium. For the current art events programme Zoeklicht Cornelis made a short television report about the event that features some eminent figures in the world of art...
