POUR LA MÈRE ET LA FILLE
Olivier DekegelAn impressionist elegy about spring, water, light and motherly love, shot from the shoulder on Super 8.

KUNST ALS KRITIEK. WANNEER IS KUNST WEL KRITIEK? 3. WANNEER EEN CARTOON AAN POLITIEK DOET
Jef CornelisThis film is part of a series of short thematic sketches focusing on the question Wanneer is Kunst Wel Kritiek? (When is Art Criticism?). In this third episode, the answer – which also serves as title – is “when a cartoon moves into politics”. As a caricature as such has a critical function, the act of drawing can always be made to fit some political stance...
