DISORIENT
Laurent Van Lancker - Florence AignerA polyphony of tales by migrants who return to their homeland after having lived abroad.

ASK THE INSECTS
Steve ReinkePart home-made science (before it became doctrine), part animated video reverie, Reinke’s brief and episodic compression is an incendiary release which opens by announcing the death of the reader, of any audience capable of pulling its fragments together, or better, of dissolving into its tissues, of allowing the body to change shape, to identify, for instance, with an insect. Or a stone....
AS] IN
Peter DownsbroughThe interior of an empty office building in Zaventem’s Corporate Village, next to Brussels Airport. Human presence is only to be found outside, through the windows, in the passing cars or nearby office buildings...
TROIS DANSES HONGROISES DE BRAHMS
Eric PauwelsEric Pauwels takes no pleasure in making pretty pictures, but is constantly searching. He is certainly not afraid of making less obvious choices. He likes to use the “plan séquence”, one long take that covers a whole movement. In doing so the camera fully confronts the unknown, explores the space and the body evolving in that space...
THE MAGGOTS
Messieurs DelmottePinned 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....
THE HUNDRED VIDEOS 28. TESTIMONIALS
Steve ReinkeFive friends warmly describe what a good lover Steve Reinke is. As always, Reinke works on the hesitation : "it is and it isn’t true". Are these people gamely saying what he has asked them to say?...

WAAROVER MEN NIET SPREEKT 1: HOME SWEET HOME
Jef Cornelis’Home Sweet Home’ is a manifesto against the dictatorship of the bourgeois notion of the ideal home. ’I rented a house with a garden’ is still a current slogan, even if people buy apartments, villas and country-houses. People attempt to hide themselves in their homes and as a consequence a kind of social isolation arises that prevents the necessary community spirit...
