EVENTUAL HORIZON

Elise Guillaume
Filmed in the Arctic, Eventual Horizon threads together the artist’s experience of insomnia, grief, and hope. In this viscerally engaging film, a parallel is made between the experience of mourning a loved one and ecological degradation. Perceiving grief as an active element of hope, Eventual Horizon focuses on the transformative and healing power of these states...

BABULIA [SECOND CHAPTER OF INSTALLATION, FRENCH VERSION]

Nora Martirosyan
"Two chapters, two time periods, one story. On the one hand, 1937, at the height of the Stalinist purges in Erevan, in the soviet Armenia, the year of the arrest of Nora Dabagian’s father who was a political dissident. On the other hand, 2006, the circumstantial story of this arrest related by the old woman, affectionally known as Baboulia, who was a very young girl in the 1930ies...

PRUEBAS

Ardélia Istarú
In 1982, accompanying my father to Paris, my Costa Rican mother sent a series of letters to her parents when she arrived in the French capital. Forty years later, I found these letters and revisit a story full of pain in order to better understand my own arrival on the continent....

THE GIRL

Hans Op de Beeck
The Girl is a slow, suggestive, perception-oriented animated film in which the viewer is transported to the strange world of a silent, 14-year-old girl. The dreamy landscape images show a dark forest, a vast landfill, a gas station, a highway landscape, a meadow, a factory site and a mysterious lake. Amidst all this stands an old caravan...

LE CORPS VERBAL: UN VOYAGE DANS L'UNIVERS DE MARCEL MOREAU (COURT-MÉTRAGE)

Charley Case - Manuela de Tervarent
The writings of the francophone Belgian writer Marcel Moreau (°1934, Boussu) are little known to the larger audience. Although he is considered a marginal writer with an idiosyncratic, instinctive, both organic and lyrical style, he is the author of a considerable body of work. Case and de Tervarent made this short but sparkling portrait that shows the writer in his daily environment...

EVERYBODY

Steve Reinke - Jessie Mott
Steve Reinke never shrinks from exploring fears and desires, and ’Everybody’ is no exception. The video is disconcertingly simple, consisting of a number of crudely drawn animals, roughly and luridly coloured. As these animals move their mouths, voice-overs speak of bodily fluids, pain and disgust in a matter-of-fact manner, the strange made ordinary by the vocal performances...

LOCUSTS

Hänzel & Gretzel
In this ‘Akashic Peeper Project’, Lee Ranaldo (a member of the band Sonic Youth) reads from his ‘Road Movie’ poems and shares his vision on reality that is fairly nomadic. Hänzel & Gretzel’s highly idiosyncratic images match perfectly Ranaldo’s poetry. This work juxtaposes an aggressive rawness with an oddly poetic, even metaphysical, sensibility....
