Kurt D'HaeseleerThe video ‘Fossilization’ was produced as part of the ‘Memory Lane’ project, commissioned in 2005 by the International Film Festival Rotterdam.

HAUT LES COEURS
Lucile Desamory“The Brain is wider than the Sky”. This sentence by Emily Dickinson appears, as magically written by an invisible hand in the film by Lucile Desamory Haut les Coeurs.

BRING US TO OURSELVES, MIKHAÏL
Emmanuel Van der AuweraIn an airport somewhere, a puppet of Mikhaïl Gorbatchev gives a monologue in the dark, gripped by the threat of the catastrophe erupting outside. Powerless and unable to react, he awaits the creeping collapse of his world. Bring us to ourselves, Mikhaïl is a video-essay, somewhere in between a fiction-documentary and a filmed puppet-show...
