OVERZICHT TITELS

SIGHTLESS

Michel Lorand
SIGHTLESS is filmed in the heart of the countryside. In the middle of a vast grassland, a collection of stones has been overgrown with brambles and weeds. On top of this tumulus three trees are slowly dying, unable to get sap from their roots to their branches, because farmers removed a small layer of bark. The film consists of a series of static shots, increasingly closer and closer to one tree...

PORTRAIT OF KARL MARX AS A YOUNG GOD

Gernot Wieland
Portrait of Karl Marx as a young god is an absurd documentary about (political) desire. The film consists of collages and drawings with voice over comments by a telephone speaker.

JOURNAL

Eitan Efrat - Sirah Foighel Brutmann
"Journal" follows the production of narratives while piercing through points of view and lenses of three photographers.

"Journal" is a collection of one-shot sequences, filmed in a photography exhibition...

... AND

Peter Downsbrough
This film essentially consists of one continuous shot taken from the train window during its stop in the station of Metz, France.
