THE THREAD

Hans Op de Beeck
A Chinese proverb says that an invisible thread connects those destined to meet, despite time, place and circumstances. The thread can be tightened or tangled, but will never be broken. Taking this clear and simple metaphor as my starting point, I created a video as a visual love poem about a punk girl and boy who grow old together. Love and death here go hand in hand...

WITHOUT APPEARANCES (VOL. 1)

Messieurs Delmotte
’Without Appearances’ consists of a series of short portraits of people as they are stoically carrying out or undergoing a senseless act; a man is throwing vegetables into a small river, a woman is subjected to cracking firework.

YOU DO NOT LEAVE TRACES OF YOUR PRESENCE, JUST OF YOUR ACTS

Gernot Wieland
The film You do not leave traces of your presence, just of your acts can be read as an experimental coming-of-age film that illuminates the traces of three characters from the filmmaker's youth: Maria, Daniel and Jackpot. In the stories, which Wieland tells in his own voice from a first-person perspective, autobiographical and fictional elements merge into a dense poetic space...

NEARLY PRESENT, JUST PAST

Cel Crabeels
"If I were young, I would destroy a Dan Graham piece, I would smash the goddamn Dan Graham piece."
