SITUATION (1)

Hans Op de Beeck
A moving camera takes us along an endless row of cash registers in a desolate supermarket. The cashiers are waiting behind their empty desks and it’s quiet as a mouse… The contrast between the inert location on the one side, chaotic and lively in normal circumstances, and the moving camera on the other, makes this absurd sequence into a kind of dream image...

GENT, 10 JUNI 1989, VOOR GERALDINE NEREA (PART OF PAS DE DANSE)

Jan Vromman
In this video Vromman shows us virtuoso how a “plan séquence” is capable of exploring a given spatial arrangement notably an abandoned church in Ghent. It is as though the camera possesses a will of its own, or, more appropriately, as it became itself a dancer within the given space...

ROND EST LE MONDE

Olivier Dekegel
In the company of a mule and a Super8 camera, a filmmaker walks through the world enchanted by the beauty of all things. Inspired by Saint Francis of Assisi's "Praise of the Creatures", an enlightened and candid contemplation driven by the changing light of seasons. This film is an invitation to a voyage, a voyage around the world with the most simple and humble of all animals, the donkey...

BEFORE LIFE

They were both made without a camera and with limited technical means...

CONTAINER 05: HET CYNISME VAN ERNEST CLAES

Jef Cornelis
A discussion about the Belgian author Ernest Claes, starting from the consideration that his work is liable to a double reduction in the way it is received. First of all, based on his book ’De Witte’, he is considered as a protagonist of heimat literature, whereas his work as a journalist is excluded...

VAN BASSENGWERKER TOT HAVENARBEIDER (ANTWERPEN)

Jef Cornelis
In 1965 more than 13,000 labourers set to work every day in the port of Antwerp and even then, every day there was a shortage of workers. “The Antwerp docker is the quickest in the world,” we hear in this creative documentary, “though they never had any specific training for their job—except for the markers...
