Along the crumbling railways of a tropical country, a radio is broadcasting a climatological alert on loop: a natural disaster is looming This film is based on a very concrete reality, the gradual abandonment of Colombia’s rail network in the second half of the 20th century, reflecting the country’s complex relation to the notion of modernity over the decades.This is seen as a kind of intimate process of deconstruction of the territory’s imaginary cartography, like a reflection of the correlation between a physical landscape and its mental representation. A veritable “forward travelling shot” on the dilapidated rails of a collective memory, it tries to transversally examine the conditions in which the contemporary individual constructs the framework of his or her inner experience
Guillermo Moncayo studied film in Bogotá (Colombia) between 2003 and 2006. From 2007, he studied at the "École Supérieure d`Art d`Aix-en-Provence" [The Higher School of Art of Aix en Provence] which he graduated from in 2012. He is currently enrolled at the Fresnoy- Studio National des Arts Contemporains [Fresnoy National Studio of Contemporary Arts].His work, which encompasses video art, documentary film and photography, has been showcased at numerous events both in France and abroad. As regards the inspiration behind his work one might describe it as an exploration of the laws and effects of the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, on the emotions and behavior of individuals. It examines regularly the conditions in which the contemporary individual constructs the framework of his or her inner experience.

Experimental doc. | hdv | color and b&w | 29:14 | Spain | 2019
The personal stories lived by the Uncle, the Father and the Son, respectively, form a tragic experience that is drawn along a line in time. This line is comparable to a crease in the pages of the family album, but also to a crack in the walls of the paternal house. It resembles the open wound created when drilling into a mountain, but also a scar in the collective imaginary of a society, where the idea of salvation finds its tragic destiny in the political struggle. What is at the end of that line? Will old war songs be enough to circumvent that destiny?
Born in Vitoria-Gasteiz (Basque Country) in 1988.

Gephyrophobia
Experimental film | 16mm | | 0:0 | Canada | 2012
Gephyrophobia ? latin word for ?the fear of crossing bridges? - was shot in Ottawa/Gatineau, Canada. Inspired by pet architecture, a term coined by Japan?s Atelier Bow-Wow, and seeking to integrate the experience of the cinema into that of the city, the Situated Cinema references small buildings that have been squeezed into leftover urban spaces. The small cinema space, which can be demounted and which will travel to unorthodox locations across Canada, is intended to provide an alternative cinema-going experience: rather than constructing an immovable structure situated more or less permanently in the city, the Situated Cinema Project will construct a mobile micro-cinema that can be situated into various spaces, tapping into the flow and energies of the city. The cinema will screen a loop of five specially commissioned silent 16mm films from artists across the country.
Caroline Monnet is an award winning filmmaker and visual artist working in film/video, installation and printmaking. Her work has been exhibited extensively in film festivals and galleries, including the Toronto International Film Festival, Clermont-Ferrand vidéoformes (France), Urban Shaman Contemporary Aboriginal Art Gallery (Winnipeg), Künstlerhaus Bethanien (Berlin), Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art (Winnipeg) Cannes, WEYA (UK) and the Manguere Arts Centre (Auckland, NZ).

Chapter and Verse
Experimental doc. | 16mm | color and b&w | 91:0 | Ireland, New Zealand | 2005
?Alex Monteith?s haunting and haunted experimental documentary invites us to consider her images of Northern Ireland during this transitional time in terms of the troubles. Some are composed with limpid formal beauty, others in the hand-held style of news coverage, some in colour, others in black and white, and most of them are related only obliquely to the eloquent expressions of personal and political perspective heard on the soundtrack. Her open-ended, contemplative approach to representing the historical struggle is clearly influenced-as she is the first to admit-by Godard. So is her unerring editorial sense of the uses of duration and interruption to startle an already attentive audience. While we listen to a catalogue of the dead, the camera seems to scrutinize the landscape for signs of violence, and the effect is disturbingly akin to that of Resnais? footage of the abandoned Auschwitz in Night and Fog. The film was shot over three years in locations defined by the troubles, including the Bogside in Derry. It also looks at troubles-deaths of the small and often-bombed border town of Castlederg, County Tyrone.? ?Bill Gosden, director of the New Zealand International Film Festival. Chapter and Verse includes excerpts recorded with politicians, members of the security forces, relatives of victims of the troubles, religious figures and academics including Ian Paisley-First Minister of Northern Ireland, and Edward Daly-Bishop Emeritus of Derry.
Alex Monteith was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 1977. She is an artist, academic and experimental filmmaker and currently resides in Auckland, New Zealand where she is Head of Moving Image at the Manukau School of Visual arts, Manukau Institute of Technology.

Experimental doc. | hdv | color and b&w | 13:0 | New Zealand | 2015
SYNOPSIS Film essay recorded in Aotearoa / New Zealand`s Cascade Cove, Tamatea / Dusky Sound; one of the wettest places on earth. After he had sailed there for the first time in 1770, James Cook spent more than two months in Tamatea in Aotearoa on his second journey in 1773. Cascade Cove within Tamatea is also near to the sites of the earliest archeological digs of the lower fiords of Aotearoa. The Begg Brothers, then in the modern era, Peter Coutts, each made various archeological incursions looking for and removing both settler and Maori material culture from the area. This film compiles observations of the intensity of weather atmosphere as a physical expression of tension between elemental forces, as a way of approaching a contested past in which European research methods overran already existing Maori knowledge production about the area. This film is part of an ongoing series of work about this area of Aotearoa.
Alex Monteith Biography (1977-) born Belfast, Northern Ireland, resides Tamaki Makaurau, Aotearoa resides in Piha, Aotearoa Alex Monteith’s works often explore the political dimensions of culture engaged in turmoil over land ownership, history and occupation.

La Folie Almayer est l'adaptation faite par Chantal Akerman du premier roman éponyme de Joseph Conrad ; Une histoire de passion, de perdition et de folie quelque part en Asie du Sud-Est que la cinéaste est partie tourner en 2010 au Cambodge. Présent sur le tournage, Sopheak Sao a filmé la cinéaste au cœur de son travail dans la végétation exotique et dans les eaux noires d’un fleuve qui ne semble mener nulle part. Les images qu’il a filmées ont, après un archivage de dix ans, été montées par Marwan Montel, et montrent combien le travail formel et esthétique prend le pas sur l’aspect narratif dans le travail de la réalisatrice belge. Une véritable plongée au plus près de l'artiste, et une occasion exceptionnelle de se glisser au cœur de son travail.
Marwan Montel (né à Istanbul en 2001) est un monteur et réalisateur Français. Suite à ses études à l'IAD en Belgique, d'où il sort diplômé en montage-scripte, il réalise un film documentaire d’archive sur le dernier tournage de fiction de Chantal Akerman.

"A walker understands gradually that he does not know much about the turbulent and airy flow of the spirit. Or he is incapable of defining it. Nevertheless, he connects with it every time he discovers that his own person constitutes a fragile material structure in the hands of nature’s fluctuations, far from social intermediaries. However, he adapts his definition of “natural” to the changes of his own mind: today is freezing because I freeze, tomorrow the sun burns because I dry out. Fragment of "The book of Haiku" by Alberto Silva.

Medea
Experimental doc. | hdv | color | 42:53 | France, USA | 2012
Medea est un voyage sonore autour de la Mer Noire : une composition à partir d'enregistrements d'ondes hertziennes et de fragments sonores collectés au cours d'une traversée de deux mois par le Collectif Soundwalk le long de la Mer Noire sur un voilier équipé de scanners, d'antennes et de microphones. La diffusion de Medea s'accompagne d'images de Vincent Moon retravaillées en direct. Medea constitue la face sombre d'une pièce sonore de Soundwalk Ulysses Syndrome commencée il y a trois ans sur la mer Méditerranée. Des pièces sonores qui au départ partageaient des similitudes mais pour celle de la mer Méditerranée la référence au mythe d'Ulysse, dont elle reprenait alors le parcours, avait d'emblée été claire et évidente comparée à celle de la mer Noire. Ce titre Medea s'est imposé au fur et à mesure des séances d'enregistrement sur fond obscur de l'honneur rendu par le sang et la vengeance. Les pays abordés dans Medea : la Turquie, la Géorgie, la Russie, la Crimée, l'Ukraine, la Roumanie, et la Bulgarie, portent tous les cicatrices de cette malédiction. La pièce Medea est ainsi la lecture sonore d'une région du monde dont la beauté demeure sanglante et sombre.

The film depicts the massacre of civilians in Geum-jeong-gul Cave in Gyeonggi-do in October 1950. This massacre, in which more than 153 people were killed in a village by South Korean military and police, was compensated by South Korean government in 1993 when it became known to the world through the efforts of the victims' bereaved families, but there is still no place for their remains in their home town.
As well as making movies, Kim Mooyoung also creates research-based media art, which is being exhibited in several countries.

Performance | 0 | color | 18:0 | Ireland, United Kingdom | 2024
Here and Not is a new film by artist and choreographer Joe Moran that locates the viewer within a dance work. In a stripped back space, nine dancers navigate complex choreographic puzzles through continuous, relentless dancing, unsettling linearity and complicating subjectivities. The camera moves within the dancers and lingers on the periphery of three distinct choreographic phases that are intensified, destabilised and reconsidered through a split screen format. Reconfiguring choreography and proximity to the dancing body, the result is a challenging and refreshingly immediate encounter. First presented as a double-sided projection installation, the then 40-min looped work activated disrupted, multiple, partial viewings by necessitating spectators move around the work to view it. Here and Not is now reimagined as a new work, re-edited as a 15min single-screen film, to premiere in 2024. Here and Not incorporates an extract of Moran’s live work Thirst, wherein two performers navigate a complex, shifting terrain of power, submission, complicity and consent. In a single physical act, one moves from lying to standing to lying, mounted by the other who never touches the floor.
Joe Moran (born 1977) is a choreographer with a wide-ranging practice incorporating touring theatre and gallery works, lecture-performance and curatorial projects.

Materiality Will Be Rethought by British-Irish artist and choreographer Joe Moran was developed as a site-specific live performance before being reimagined as a film work. The work navigates dance’s potential to animate and disrupt architectural space, the physicality of the dancer’s voice and the moving body as a site of political unrest and complex subjectivities. Materiality Will Be Rethought was commissioned by Whitechapel Gallery, London, in dialogue with the exhibition Carlos Bunga: Something Necessary and Useful (on display at the gallery 21 Jan – 6 Sep 2020). It is performed by dancers Temi Ajose-Cutting, Thomas Heyes (Blackhaine), Sean Murray and Eve Stainton, and created in collaboration with editor Sue Giovanni and cinematographer Alana Mejía González.

I Am Also Part of the Three Turns
Experimental film | hdv | color | 14:45 | Romania | 2024
Relying on oral and fragmentary histories, ‘I Am Also Part of the Three Turns’ traces the effects of a destructive earthquake in Bucharest and a concurrent flood it caused in a small town in Buzau, during a period of nationalistic urbanization in Communist Romania. In the capital, the destruction was seized as an opportunity by the authoritarian government to further raze large swaths of the city, invoking the earthquake as a mythological force in order to strategically replace rubble with new Soviet-bloc housing projects. Employing allegory as narrator, the film sketches a series of political congruences throughout a patchwork of intertwined landscapes, teasing out a temporally irresolute past that defies the linear cause-and-effect of both environmental disaster and authoritarian political repression.

Her multimedia work searches for cinematic referent across a wide range of materials. Across mediums, her work seeks to tease out entangled personal and political histories, searching for sensorial and cinematic resonances across a patchwork of temporal, relational and political histories.

La vidéo Less is More or documente l’intervention in situ réalisée à l’intérieur du Toronto Dominion Centre, complexe architectural conçu à l’origine par Mies van der Rohe. Revisitant l’aphorisme de l’architecte, ce projet procédait par une activation des lumières des bureaux à l’intérieur des édifices. Le tournage aérien, construit en deux plans séquences, joue sur le caractère hypnotique des images afin d’interroger les codes spectaculaires de l’industrie cinématographique. Depuis 2010, Aude Moreau développe un vaste programme de recherche qui part de l’hypothèse que si le rétrécissement de l’espace public passe par l’utilisation du vocabulaire économique pour décrire nos réalités quotidiennes, alors, la résurgence du politique passe par l’infiltration sémantique de l’architecture qui abrite cette construction du langage. Ce cycle de travail a mené à l’élaboration de quatre projets d’intervention in situ qui ont en commun d’agir à l’intérieur de l’architecture corporative du gratte-ciel, sur la lumière qu’elle émet dans la ville et d’investir la réalité géographique de l’activité économique et financière où circulent les flux déréalisés et dématérialisés de la production. Les projets d’intervention in situ Sortir, La ligne bleue, THE END in the background of Hollywood et Less is More or, sont autant de signes lumineux qui appellent à une reterritorialisation du politique dans la ville organisée comme spectacle.

Winter follows summer in a picturesque deserted garden, passed through by gardeners in integration dressed like road workers. Is contact with nature still able to stand against the disintegration of the social contract? The values of the Enlightenment and the spirit of Jean Jacques Rousseau seem to be surrounded by a modernity that is opposed to the possibility of harmony.
After studying history and philosophy, Delphine Moreau became passionate about creative documentaries, which she first explored through visual anthropology. In 2009, she won the Audience Award at the Premier Doc festival with La Société des Arbres as well as the Best Documentary Award at the Rencontres Cinéma Nature. She directed a series of short documentaries for France Télévisions, Saisons forestières. Then Marmites Khmères was selected in many international ethnographic festivals. With Les Gens du sucre, morceaux d'histoires, she won the Plume d'or at the L'ici et l'ailleurs festival. The film was selected in festivals such as FIGRA and by Images en Bibliothèques. In 2021, she co-directed (with Marie Famulicki and Corinne Sullivan) En Terrain Libre, a musical and documentary (award for best director at the Les sportives en lumière festival in Nice, selection at the FFIDH festival in Geneva, Les Écrans documentaire in Arcueil, FIPADOC in Biarritz, Docs au féminin in Rennes, Résistances festival in Foix...) With PARC, she questions our link to nature and to social and political utopias. At the same time, in a logic of shared creativity, she leads artistic education workshops that often give a voice to women.

Plastic, Marble and Helicopters (2020), is the culmination of a year-long investigation into Global Tools, a pioneering pedagogical project started in 1972 by various architecture studios of the “Italian Radical Design Movement”, led by Ettore Sottsass. With the support of the Italian high-end design furniture film Poltronova, Anna Moreno designed and produced a four-piece modular sofa, which was later used as a performance prop at the Space Electronic nightclub in Florence during the 50th anniversary event of its inauguration. The Florentine disco was the underground nucleus where Global Tools carried out several of its seminal experiments, invoking the body as the ultimate form of architecture, a place with hidden political and creative potential. The irony of the pro-Marxist group’s coziness with the luxury furniture market does not escape Moreno’s eye.
Anna Moreno is a visual artist and researcher from Barcelona (Spain), currently based in The Hague (The Netherlands). Her practice takes the shape of installations, films, performances, soundtracks, objects, and publications. She is interested in disentangling our imagination from the current presentism, making use of speculative fiction. By reproposing utopian architectures from the 70s, Moreno uses conceptual tools such as parallel histories, synchronicity, performative urbanity, architectural discourses, and social entanglements. She has exhibited internationally, conducting residencies like SASG in Seoul (KR), Cittadellarte-Fondazione Pistoletto (IT), or Jan Van Eyck Academie (NL). She has recently been awarded the Botín Visual Arts Grant (ES) and has been selected for the upcoming Yinchuan Biennale (CN). Teaching and lecturing have a bi-directional impact on Moreno’s artistic practice. She has taught Artistic Research at the Royal Academy of Art (The Hague) and developed programs for educational institutions in The Netherlands and abroad. In 2013, Moreno co-founded the artists’ initiative Helicopter (The Hague), an independent space for performance, sound and discussion in the periphery.
