BABULIA [SECOND CHAPTER OF INSTALLATION, FRENCH VERSION]

"Two chapters, two time periods, one story.

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...

NON-LIEUX, PART I

Pascal Baes
An attempt to exorcise the satanic aspects of negativism: the gothic-romantic phantoms, the Eido-Kabuki or Tibetans are creatures that failed to achieve a specific goal in their lives. They keep returning because of this unfinished business. There is the negation of choreographic movement, of tourist scenery and local aesthetic value...

FAVORITKA

Alina Zhdanova
Every time memories are thought back on, they get rewritten into new memories over and over. The experiences that get recalled for hundreds and thousands of times, turn into beliefs. Recalling and saving the memories, which get renewed and rewritten, one single line of memories could be followed. The theme of work is “Recalling”...

VICTORIA

Lukas Marxt
The hypnotic wasteland of Southern California (USA) is infused with the free-spirited nature of Easy Rider, the alienation and uprootedness of Michelangelo Antonioni, and the deep transcendence of Werner Herzog. It speaks to us through fragments of dialogues from iconic films, and yet it remains elusive and dissolves into abstract shapes, rhythms, and compositions...

MIROIR SÉB FRAGILE !

Sirah Foighel Brutmann - Eitan Efrat
Miroir séb fragile ! is a music-film made for cinematographer Sébastien Koeppel. The film was shot in a two-day recording session that was an experimentation in improvisation—in music and in image making. It was filmed on Sébastien’s various 16mm film stocks, some of which were long expired. The music was played live by The Ramirez Brothers...

IJSBREKER 05: HET CIRCUS HUILT

Eric Blanckaert - Mark De Geest - Freddy Coppens - Jackie Claeys
The circus, a world where a laugh and a tear might well run into one another more easily than anywhere else. After the Second World War, there were 14 circuses left in Belgium, a number which turned out to be halved after a mere decade...

UNTITLED 5.03

Peter Downsbrough
During almost fifteen minutes the camera explores the transhipment buildings, warehouses and silos belonging to the Werf- en Vlasnatie in the port of Antwerp in endless, mainly horizontal travellings from a driving car. The endless docks turn into a poetical labyrinth with railway containers and trucks, loading docks, pallet boards and goods...

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

Shelly Silver
"A woman sets out to photograph moments of intimacy. On an Internet dating site she writes: ’I’m looking for people who would like to be photographed in public revealing something of themselves...’ What I’m Looking For, a 15-minute high definition video, documents this adventure; the connections formed at this intersection between virtual and actual public space...

TO BE A DAY

Eva Claus
A window to the outside world, just like the camera's frame. Through this window, I watch the sunrise. To Be a Day captures the sun casting its light over a vast seascape on Fogo Island, Canada. Between sunrise and sunset, a series of white dots appear. These white circles reflect the moonlight, guiding fishermen as they walk across the pier to their sheds and boats in the early morning....
