OVERZICHT TITELS

CASSEURS DE CAILLOUX

Michel François
A video made in Brazil shows three men trying to split a rock with a wedge and two sledgehammers. What is involved is not just the desire to live a physical relationship with things, but to find forms to make that relationship visible....

OLD CLOUDS

Charley Case
A cloudy sky can be seen through a circular form and, closer by, flames and black smoke can be discerned. A view of the sky through an exhaust pipe? Or is the viewer is looking down into a trash can into which Case has effectively tossed both clouds and sky — and set them on fire....

AU BALCON DE TITI

Yasmina Benari
After 11 years in jail and a life spent hoping to see a free and fairly ruled Egypt, Titi alias Albert Arrié witnesses 2011 riots from his own balcony. He is 81. The film follows Titi over the course of two years, as hope turns to dust and present meets the past. At Titi's Balcony is a voyage, oscillating between inner and outer worlds...

INSIDE RUMOURS

Hugo Pauwels - Sabine Van Der Linden
Some buildings radiate a personality of their own through their shape and environment. Apparently they exist there, in and of themselves, unaffected by time and human restlessness. Still, every window hides an existence. This is the short story of one of these buildings, filmed over 24 hours, in which flashes of the people that live there and rumours peep through...

WHITE LADY

Jacques Louis Nyst - Danièle Nyst
A videodance inspired by David Lynch’s 'The Elephant Man'. Though not clearly obvious in the piece, Nyst presents five tableaux that recall John Merrick’s mother’s life. The piece, openly Romantic and dramatic, flirts with the border of kitsch...

DEATH FUCKING METAL

Koen Theys
This video is the third and final part of a trilogy, in which Fanfare, Calme & Volupté (2007) was the first part and PATRIA (2008) the second. In all three video works a group of people in uniform are lying around in a state of depression in a spectacular setting...

OJO GUAREÑA

Edurne Rubio
In the film OJO GUAREÑA we join a group of speleologists that enter the gigantic cave of the same name in Burgos, Spain. We barely notice the prehistoric traces and the contours of the spaces, but we can hear all the better: drops of water that, for ages, have been recreating the shape of the cave and continue to do so to date, as well as echoes of human footsteps...

SILVER BALLS

Messieurs Delmotte
Two silver coloured Christmas balls are lying in an abstract, silver coloured setting. From the air, Messieurs Delmotte’s feet slowly descend into the camera frame. Hopefully he will not hurt himself crushing the balls! This early video is part of the ‘Century of the 20th Sex’ series....

JAN BRUSSELMANS

Jef Cornelis
Content: 00’00" Leader. 00’07" Titles. 11’20" Pictures of the Flemish Expressionist painter’s work in the context of the retrospective devoted to him in Bruges. Alternating with photographs of Jan Brusselmans working in his studio. (No spoken commentary)...

WE HAD FUN YESTERDAY

Marion Guillard
When I was younger, I hated my body as much as I was obsessed by images of "Nature". On the one hand, I told myself they were sublime, and that's why they existed, and on the other, I felt that as a woman, if people didn't look at me, I'd disappear. The film runs around my character's experience...
