DIVE INTO MANKIND
Ria PacquéeFrom East to West Ria Pacquée observes and films people in and on the water: in and on seas, oceans, rivers and lakes. From a distance she zooms in on actions and rituals performed in and around the water.

THIS, OF COURSE, IS A WORK OF THE IMAGINATION
Wendy MorrisIn 1917 the Steamship Mendi sailed towards the English Channel and France. On board was a battalion of South African labour troops.

A ruthless animation, sentimental and quietly mocking, yet perhaps still able to evoke sadness and longing....
