TECHNOCALYPS - DEEL 3: THE DIGITAL MESSIAH

Frank Theys
Technocalyps is a 3 part documentary about ‘transhumanism’, an ideology assuming that we approach an era where humans, as we know them, are no longer the driving force of civilization. All technological developments seem to converge to one main goal: to overcome humanity, to try and create something transhuman...

ICI (UNE LETTRE À CHANTAL AKERMAN)

Bram Van Paesschen
ICI is a parody which by its very nature might at first seem trivial or gratuitous. The film is a remake with a vengeance of Chantal Akerman’s Là-bas. ICI (French for ‘Here’) takes place not in Tel-Aviv – Akerman’s Là-bas (‘There’) – but in Brussels, where Van Paesschen lives...

ANESTHÉSIE

Hänzel & Gretzel

EXTENDED PRESENCES

Margaux Dauby
"Looking at the tree line, a question creeps into my mind and, simultaneously, I have a desire what if nothing existed?" (M. G. Llansol) Extended Presences follows several women in their seasonal work as fire watchers in Portugal. The film comes close to their breathing, to the passing of time and to solitude, from within....

INSERT COIN FOR LOVE

Hans Op de Beeck
The coin drops into the slot machine and a scene reminiscent of a peepshow appears. A woman rotates on a red velvet podium. She looks bored and refuses to perform. The work also exists as a single channel video projection. (Source: www.hansopdebeeck.com)...

DARK MATTER

Lucile Desamory
In 1989, a wave of unidentified flying objects (UFO's) swept through Belgium. A woman, who witnessed the phenomenon, talks about her consternation....

THE MAGGOTS

Messieurs Delmotte
Pinned on a soundtrack of heavy metal jazz, Messieurs Delmotte is lying on a blue mattress. Out of his mouth are hundreds of little white maggots. A horror scene in overdrive or a fantasy? Part of the ‘Century of the 20th Sex’ series....

RIPARIA, RIPARIA

Marion Guillard
On a birdwatching tour of the Doel polders in 2020, I came across a pile of sand in the middle of a traffic circle, itself in the middle of the industrial port of Antwerp. This pile of sand is a monumental sculpture, shaped by hundreds of shore swallows...
