OVERZICHT TITELS

MADRIGAAL

Lili Dujourie
A bare wooden floor fills the screen. Encircled tightly by the camera, a clothed figure rolls, folds and unfolds upon itself between pauses of variable duration. Resorting to the close-up reinforces the sculptural aspect of the body. A contrapuntal rhythm emerges as each successive change in form overlaps the previous one in a movement that never discloses the contours of a fixed state of being...

IJSBREKER 13: CULTURELE CENTRA (KLEINE)

Jackie Claeys - Jef Cornelis - Mark De Geest - Karel Schoetens
Probably culture is something which has always been around. But apart from the culture which is just there, there is distributed culture as well. Implicitly this means that it gets through to big cities before anywhere else...

BOUWEN IN BELGIË

Jef Cornelis
A documentary that attempts to analyse the process of building as it is drawn in the minds and mentality of the people who occupy the house.

THE BASTARDSTOWN BLOGGER

Orla Barry
Bastardstown, located in ‘sunny’ southeast Ireland, County Wexford (N 52° 11’ 15’’ W 6° 32 36”) is small town, or village, or rather townland. Although it actually exists, it’s also a fictive notion, a concept that figures in the work of Orla Barry, here as well as in previous work (Stoney Scrabble at Bastardstown, 2000-2006 and Foundlings, 2000)...

SONNET

Lili Dujourie
A woman stands up in front of a bay window, walks, turns her back to us, smokes a cigarette, lingers overlooking the view of trees ... She uses a reflection in the window to create a mnemonic trace...

MEET THE PEOPLE

TOPIC I

Pascal Baes
The French film theorist André Bazin used to consider film as a spell of time. He spoke triumphantly of a victory on the irreversibility and the transitoriness of life. Baes’s ’Topic I & II’ (the painterly quality of its dusky images is for a good reason reminiscent of Francis Bacon’s strokes) seems to question these transcendent views on cinematography...
