LIMBO. THE EARTH IS HARD
Ira A. GoryainovaIn the aftermath of global irreversible climate changes something went wrong in nature’s circle of life and death – human bodies ceased to decompose. In a field hospital amidst a forest, nurses take care of patients whose death is delayed....
THE ABSENCE OF TELEPRESENCE
Dan OkiThe Absence of Telepresence is a personal observation and reflection on the gradual fusion of telephone, address book, camera and computer into one gadget.

PHANTOM SUN
Alexis DestoopIn 2013 Alexis Destoop embarked on a series of travels to the border area between Norway and Russia – a counter-point with Australia: the cold and dark, snow and ocean are completely the opposite of the warm, sunny, dry desert climate. And yet both regions are subject to similar processes, hence the artist’s interest...
DRIE MINUTEN, RINGAUTOBAAN, TREKKEN, ROLTRAP, STOP STAP STOP STAP...
Filip FrancisThree minutes of a close-up on a clock. Suddenly, and unexpectedly, a close-up on the white lines of a highway appears. Speed and minimalism melt together. The next image is that of a labourer, lugging a pile of cables. The movement of an escalator in a subway station follows and finally the flickering of a traffic light for pedestrians changes from red to green and back again...
THE CIRCLE OF MAROKKO 2004

PROOF OF LIFE
Herman AsselberghsThe interior of an open, empty space: the frontier between ’inside’ and ’out side’ is slight. The only sign of human presence is to be found as a voice-over: a male voice recalling horrifying TV-images, a popular disaster film, a long-term imprisonment. The title alludes to the diplomatic negotiating jargon used during the video recording of a live hostage...
UBUNDU
Jelena JurešaJelena Jureša’s Ubundu, a film poem filmed at Antwerp Zoo, portrays the okapi, an animal exhibited for the first time in Antwerp in 1919 (the nine-month-old animal was an instant sensation, but within a month it grew weaker and eventually died)...
NUDE DESCENDING A STAIRCASE
Eitan Efrat - Sirah Foighel BrutmannThe first part of Nude Descending a Staircase is a composition of clips found online that were made by visitors—pilgrims—to the remote memorial site of Walter Benjamin in Portbou, Spain. Each of these individual registrations is anchored in the specificity of the location...
DOCUMENTARY CREDIT
Eva Meyer - Eran SchaerfIn economic jargon, “documentary credit” refers to a mode of payment that involves a bank between buyer and seller in order to ensure the buyer’s reliability.
