FILE
Kurt D'Haeseleer‘File’ scrutinises the bandwidth between representation and immersion, showing a world of complexity. This work is trying to be a lot at the same time: video clip, essay, action movie, sociological study, documentary, soap and even commercial but above all a hermetic collection of sensations. A dated relation goes off the road and two people lose each other in overdrive....

ANOTHER DAY IN TREATY TOWN
Koen TheysAnother Day in Treaty Town is a contemporary European western. A saloon, a covered wagon, a campfire, a couple turkeys and a wooden grandstand appear in a sun-drenched Flemish landscape. The grandstand is filled with "cowboys and indians". Dignitaries from both sides are smoking the peace pipe. They are flanked by men cleaning their guns or sharpening their knifes...
