THE THREAD
Hans Op de BeeckA 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...
UNDEAD VOICES
Maria Iorio - Raphaël CuomoUndead Voices focuses on the archive as a subject rather than a repository of material, and invites us to reflect critically on the absences it encompasses, on the politics of knowledge, on possible alternative ways of writing history. The starting point is a Super 8mm amateur film, Donne emergete!, made in 1975 by filmmaker Isabella Bruno...

THE DUNGS

GNAWA
Olivier DekegelA medium-length film produced and distributed by the director, a true cinephile, lover and connoisseur of classic and experimental cinema. Filmed on Super 8, Gnawa is an immersive flood, a sensorial trip to the magico-religious rites of the Gnawa in Morocco, made with such virtuosity that it elevates the viewer, cinematographically, into a trance akin to that of the dancers and musicians depicted...

THE THIRD MAN
Erik BüngerAs a child my father told me about the movie: In a city somewhere, a man searches for another man. Everyone he meets tells him that his search is in vain, for the other man is already dead, but he refuses to give up and suddenly he believes he catches a glimpse of the other man’s face in a doorway...
RIB GETS IN THE WAY
Steve ReinkeSteve Reinke has long been lauded for his irreverent, philosophical, and often acerbic works, which typically adopt the form of personal essays to wryly bend and reread wide-ranging topics from pop culture to sex to theories of visual perception and beyond...
HOMMAGE À … IV
Lili DujourieThe five videos of Hommage à … deal with the same theme as repetition-in-difference, as a continual tracing and retracing, of the figure fold and unfold in the visual field. Everything is centred on the concept of self-observation and an exploration of the body. Dujourie develops a recurrent strategy of her work: drawing attention to the space beyond the visual field...
OOG EN HAND ALS UITDRUKKING 02
Jef CornelisFor the art programme 'Openbaar Kunstbezit' Cornelis made two essayistic television reports in 1972 about the use of hands and eyes in the visual arts, “a way to look and to communicate.” Once more, 'Oog en hand als uitdrukking 02' ('Eye and hand as expression 02') is particularly free with regard to its format, bearing in mind the television standards of the time...
