THIS DAY WON'T LAST
Mouaad el SalemA day that could also be a life. A young man who could also be an older woman. A nightmare that could also be a dream.

INK IN MILK
Gernot WielandInk in Milk is Wieland’s most recent film – a knotted string-figure of histories, fictions and images. Through the flickering vignettes of a schoolboy trauma, visits to a friend at a psychiatric institution and encounters with animals, Ink in Milk exposes the anxious, web-like structures that underpin the tragicomedy of existence...

While the image remains black, subtitles give us a fragmented impression of a journey through China, including the exact place and date of the recordings. The video was presented together with a folder on which several drawings, conceived as a description of noise, had been printed...
10DE BIËNNALE VAN MIDDELHEIM ANTWERPEN [1969]
Jef CornelisA short and playful portrayal of life and customs, disguised as a filmed exhibition, during the 10th Biennial for sculpture in Middelheim. The gardens and sculptures of the open air museum make out the scenery for a bucolical and frivolous atmospheric and periodical portrayal, with Flemish poet and filmmaker Patrick Conrad in a leading role: “trees like statues, statues like bombs”...
