AVANT-GARDE CITIZENS: MPIA’S STORY
Ólafur Ólafsson - Libia CastroMpia came to the Netherlands from the Congo. Against the backdrop of the Dutch landscape, his rhythmic, musical account is performed both facing away from and turned towards the camera.

UN VOYAGE À TRAVERS N-DIMENSIONS
Mira SandersIn this travelogue I wonder by way of drawing a section of a photograph of Maastricht, what the concept dimension could mean. The film shows an investigation where a thinking and making is happening. I invite in the end the spectator to think further about the dimension in between the projection and the place where s/he sits....
WALKER, LE PRÉ CATELAN
Thomas Bernardet - Florent MulotThis film tries to apprehend the Pré Catelan, built on a main avenue in Toulouse in the 1970s. It is built around an inner courtyard originally designed to be full of life, but whose shops have closed one after the other. Two figures stroll through it without ever meeting each other, and cast a circumspect gaze on this architecture they will ultimately fail to appropriate....
