THE MOURNING OF THE SEA
Miguel Peres dos SantosThe Mourning of the Sea was shot at Cidade Velha in Cape Verde in 2016. Located off Africa's northwest coast, this town was the first European colonial settlement to asure slave trade to the America’s. An estimate of 4 to 6 million enslaved persons were sold and sent to the Americas from there, mainly to Brazil. The film, like the city, echoes the deep sadness of the past in the present...

POLYFONISTEN DEEL 1

In Polyfonisten, an identical line of thought is expressed in a mirror-like perspective of history as seen through the eyes of today...
TEDDY DOG MOTHER
Messieurs DelmotteA toy animal lies on a black background. Slowly, it moves shivering. When the camera zooms in, we see a knife going through its chest. The formerly rather small looking peluch animal is in fact a lot larger then it seemed. It even gives birth to Messieurs Delmotte himself. The work is part of Delmotte’s early ‘Century of the 20th Sex’ series....

CITY OF PROGRESS
Justin Bennett"A city could start like this drawing: first there`s an empty space and then an event: a dot on the paper." The animated film ’City of Progress’ traces the growth of an imaginary city as it expands from a single dot into a proliferation of lines and geometric forms, representing the physical development of a city...
NEAR AND FAR / NOW AND THEN
Ken KoblandA two-part film, one part unedited camera footage of a late Autumn to Winter woods, and the other a highly manipulated blue-screen re-photography process. Each part mimics the action of the other. Each is involved with a background-foreground, motion-to-still image juxtaposition: with the whole to the part, the arrested moment to the one just gone, the nostalgia of space and time.
