SAO PAULO

Robert Suermondt
Although the presence of the architecture and urbanism of the city is constantly insinuated, neither of them is treated as the real subject of the film. As the scenes that show the city are cut up by scenes of groups of friends, the way the megalopolis is approached is ‘familiarised’. It is as if the film assimilated a sort of personal wandering. Even the way of filming is paramount...

MARIA GAAT NAAR SCHOOL

Edurne Rubio - Maria Jerez
The children of V-tex school in Kortrijk, teach Dutch to Maria Jerez. During three weeks the roles of education change: 33 children teach and one adult learns.

YVES SOMVILLE DANS LE RÔLE DE JESUS-CHRIST

Jacques Lennep
Video, apart from photography and holography, was but one of the media Lennep made use of during the 1970s, as he was adding on to his ‘museum of men’. His human models were derived from all layers of the populations, but they shared a common obsession for collecting things or, at the very least, an unusual passion...

BEAUTY PLUS PITY

Cooper Battersby - Emily Vey Duke
The contemporary fables of Emily Vey Duke and Cooper Battersby propose that existence is abject, farcical, and messy. In their richly textured videos, Duke and Battersby employ live action footage, scavenged images, and simple animations to create episodic structures that evince a simultaneously utopian and dystopian world view...

BRUSSELS, ROOM WITH A VIEW

Mira Sanders
At dusk they show up by hundreds, maybe even a lot more. They fly from the left to the right, going up and then down again. Carried by the wind, they defy gravity. They float. Maybe there is a leader, a conductor, and the others know to follow him. The wind takes them everywhere, and together they make sculptures in the sky...

WAITING FOR THE SECRET

Meggy Rustamova
Waiting for a Secret takes it starting point from a picture, revealing its secrets by zooming into the various details. Gradually, the picture becomes alive, raising issues such as isolation, linguistical confusion, pixelisation and the suggestion of movement within a still image....
