MY RECTUM IS NOT A GRAVE (NOTES TO A FILM INDUSTRY IN CRISIS)
Steve ReinkeUsing footage shot in 1938 and 1939 by Ivan Besse, who owned a movie theatre in Britton, South Dakota and used local portraits in a kind of local news-reel, Reinke builds a strange reverie, sometimes speaking as Besse, sometimes as St. Paul, with reference to Frank O’Hara, Odetta and Dusty Springfield....

GNAWA
Olivier DekegelA medium-length film produced and distributed by the director, a true cinephile, lover and connoisseur of classic and experimental cinema. Filmed on Super 8, Gnawa is an immersive flood, a sensorial trip to the magico-religious rites of the Gnawa in Morocco, made with such virtuosity that it elevates the viewer, cinematographically, into a trance akin to that of the dancers and musicians depicted...
IJSBREKER 11: WONEN+WONEN=2
Jef Cornelis - Jackie Claeys - Mark De Geest - Karel SchoetensA house is an environment. A home is an extension of who you are. How can we live in a house, be at home in a home?

A work by both is presented, architectural pieces as places with a memory, an environment with a mind, a space in time...

Bernard MulliezThe film is a portrait of the father of the artist, who lived off a private income provided by a familial commercial empire—for which he simply had to thank his birth. Mulliez has tried to render visible the exterior forces that influenced this man. There’s of course the issue of money, but there’s also the matter of an interiorized user’s manual that comes with capital...
THE ASCENT OF MAN. PART I: SILENT RUNNING
Jayce Salloum’Silent Running’ opens on a scene of running water. Nature, therefore, comes first , accompanied by old choral music. This is what preceeds the ascent of Man. Then, from running water we pass on to landscape. River banks, trees go by. Suddenly an abrupt stop, the image freezes : enough nature. Feet and legs of passers-by stream along the sidewalk like the water following a flow...

VARKENSPEST / PESTE PORCINE

Shaken by the mass destruction of pigs the artist made a poetical videogram with some self-made images and images from the TV news. Homage to the swines who fell on the sacrificial altars of profit seeking....
