OVERZICHT TITELS

LEEDSTAPE

Cel Crabeels
The people that move through Leeds seem to have a purpose, they are going somewhere. The artist chose not to. He carried out interventions at various times and places in the public space of the city. They became slightly disturbing when obstructing the natural flow of people, things and situations...

Eva Claus Any way

ANY WAY

Eva Claus
Any Way shows three people running together on an athletics track. The repetitive motion introduces the rhythm to a serene trance. The act of running itself is the focal point of the film: a continuous movement suspended in time. Varying frame rates allow the viewer to examine details of the motion that would otherwise be obscured by their own speed...

LILIANE VERTESSEN

Jef Cornelis
“Liliane Vertessen wants to stay young forever. And she wants to be world famous,” Régine Clauwaert claims in this edition of Kunst-Zaken, the art magazine of the Belgian public broadcaster BRT in the 1980s. Cornelis filmed Vertessen at her home in Hasselt. He edited this short portrait to the music of Tim Buckley’s Sweet Surrender, raw blues the artist chose herself...

RICHTINGEN

Philippe Van Snick
In the bright, blue sky airplanes have left the traces of their engines, with lines of white clouds as result. They are the minimalist painters of the sky. Some lines are very visible, while others are already fading away....

DOUBLE DAWN

Lukas Marxt
Lukas Marxt's film is directed into the darkness of the landscape. What we see is a 30-minute static shot, in which silence spreads: an illuminated factory area on the horizon, otherwise just blackness, stretched flat and wide like a canvas. The cycle of the sun dictates the dramaturgy of the film...

JONAS

Olivier Dekegel
A short portrait of and homage to the legendary filmmaker Jonas Mekas, generally considered as one of the major exponents of the avant-garde movement in the American cinematic landscape of the 1950s and ‘60s...

GREAT BLOOD SACRIFICE

Steve Reinke
A walk with shaky hand held camera through the landscape of the high desert of New Mexico, down the cliffs to a water reservoir accompanied by Reinke’s voice over: “I had a dream last night. I was in a room with Joy Behar, and she had wrapped a dog in aluminum foil, and the dog couldn’t get out...

L'ÉNIGME DU SPHINX

Jef Cornelis
The work of architect Charles Vandenhove is an exploration of architecture in its fundamental simplicity and inevitable variety of form. His work, and in addition today’s architecture, is explained in the Liège Hotel Torrentius, a mansion from the 16th century being renovated, and this document’s focal point...

LES 3 MARIE

Charley Case
A painting on which a woman is depicted breastfeeding a child. The image refers to the well known iconographical pose of the Holy Mary holding Jesus. The gently moving image of a real woman breastfeeding her child appears in this painting, as a second layer. Slowly it slides to the foreground. The second painting is that of Mary as a young girl...

VAN BASSENGWERKER TOT HAVENARBEIDER (ANTWERPEN)

Jef Cornelis
In 1965 more than 13,000 labourers set to work every day in the port of Antwerp and even then, every day there was a shortage of workers. “The Antwerp docker is the quickest in the world,” we hear in this creative documentary, “though they never had any specific training for their job—except for the markers...
