STANDARD TRIANGULATION

Adam Leech
Presented in an ingenious mise-en-scene, Adam Leech introduces the concept of triangulation. Such a “trialogue” can describe social, as well as legal, governmental or family situations better than a dialogue. A jazz singer is shown. While she performs jazz standards, she’s distracted by something off screen...

THE NAMES HAVE CHANGED, INCLUDING MY OWN, AND TRUTHS HAVE BEEN ALTERED

Onyeka Igwe
This is a story of the artist’s grandfather, the story of the ‘land’ and the story of an encounter with Nigeria—retold at a single point in time, in a single place. The artist is trying to tell a truth in as many ways as possible...

THE RABBIT AND THE TEASEL

Els Dietvorst
In a world where petty opinions, hysteria, commotion and emotion have become the norm and neo-liberal humanity is rapidly losing sight of the path to happiness, The Rabbit And The Teasel is a breath of fresh air.

CAREGIVERS

Libia Castro - Ólafur Ólafsson
'Caregivers' presents the Ukrainian women who have chosen voluntary exile to work as caregivers for the elderly in Italy, where they earn enough to provide financial support to their families back home in Ukraine. Living on the margins, they are solitary and elusive figures whose roles are defined but whose individual identities are not being recognized by the host country...

DE NAZI

Jos De Gruyter
Before the eye of the camera a Nazi attempts to justify his acts. The scene is a parody of the ‘anonymous’ interview: the voice is scrambled and the head is not shown on screen. The relativizing testimonial is given an unreal and absurd edge through subtle pace accelerations...

C'EST MOY QUE JE PEINS, WIE ALLEEN STAAT HEEFT RECHT VAN SPREKEN

Jef Cornelis
“C’est moy que je peins” wrote Montaigne to make it clear to the reader that he wrote his Essays in order to be seen in his “simple, natural, everyday fashion, without striving or artifice.” Writing in this instance turns out to be a basic tool for introspection and an attempt to make manifest the writer’s subjectivity...
