Forever
Experimental video | dv | color | 16:52 | Germany, Netherlands | 2007
Forever NL, installation, configuration 16`52? A number of well-dressed American women, lounging by the swimming pool in a deck chair or strolling in the garden, take turns in this double-screen installation. Each individually they tell us what matters to them, what makes them happy and how they see themselves. The women in `Forever` are mostly talking about their outer appearance. And yet, inner beauty is what is most important, says one of them, `although that is reflected by someone`s looks,` she adds. Does she mean that what it is about is the preservation of external beauty, which is after all the reflection of the unchangeable inner self? It is difficult to guess how old they are exactly. Nevertheless, the dark, slightly worn voice that we hear when we see a girlish figure with streaming hair sitting there in a little pink summer dress, betrays that this cannot possibly be a young woman of around thirty. They take photos of themselves with a self-timer. The camera of the filmmaker always cautiously keeps its distance. The carefully created illusion of the age of their choice is not undermined anywhere just to make the image `more realistic`. `Forever` is a portrait of the way these women want to see themselves, and of the way they want us to see them if a filmmaker should portray them. Rudelius graciously gives them the chance. Fifteen minutes of fame. Forever as young as they were then, with the promise of the future preserved.

Le projet de trio d?improvisation est une première collaboration entre trois musiciens venus d?horizons différents. Slovaques (MACHAJDIK et RUDOLF) et américains d?origine (MOSS), leurs villes d?adoptions sont respectivement Paris et Berlin. Ces deux capitales forment un axe idéal pour une course imaginaire. C?est autour de ce thème et à l?image du Tour de France ou du fameux Prague ? Berlin - Varsovie (un course cycliste de l?époque communiste), que les trois interprètes ? commentateurs, plongent dans le peloton de coureurs (cyclistes ou autres ? ) pour livrer une radiographie des instants vécus par les participants, en mélangeant l?atmosphère de l?événement aux exposés officiels et photos musicales instantanées.

PLAN ROSEBUD 1
Documentary | dv | color and b&w | 114:0 | Spain | 2008
Title: PLAN ROSEBUD 1 Genre: DOCUMENTARY ESSAY Producer: CGAC (GALICIAN CENTER OF CONTEMPORARY ART) Director: MARIA RUIDO Year: 2008 Length: 114 MINTS. Country: SPAIN Synopsis: Plan Rosebud 1: Crime scene Plan Rosebud 1 is focused on the recent social debate around ?The Historical Memory Act? in Spain, and the current relations between the sites of memory and the politics of memory that are produced through cultural industries. They are studied in details, in our case, through war tourism and commemorative tourism. In Plan Rosebud 1we visit Museums and Commemorative Historical War Sites and these materials form the main part of Plan Rosebud 1. This study, is not only limited to the Spain, and especially to the Spanish province of Galicia (where I, and General Franco were born), but it is presented as a comparative study with war and commemorative tourism site in Great Britain and Normandy as the European memory policy site of the WWII. The reason to choose Great Britain as more significant comparative variable was related to the fact that Britain is a well established European democracy with a completely different past from the one we have inherited from the Franco dictatorship and, nonetheless, as we discovered throughout the process, we have much more similar dynamics than expected in terms of links between cultural industries and production of memory (as an unstoppable and supra-state phenomenon due to economic globalisation). The politics of memory is in fact equally selective in relation to episodes that may contradict or question the compact and linear heroic narratives that are transmitted by the state or the media (I am referring, for example, to the very low interest in research about the condition of German and Italian prisoner in detention camps in the United Kingdom until very recently).
María Ruido (Spain) works as a filmmaker, cultural producer and researcher. Since 1995 she has been developing, mainly through video and writing, interdisciplinary projects about the social elaboration of the body and its place in the imagining of work, as well as about the mechanisms of constructing memories and their relationship with narrative forms of history. She is a teacher at the Department of Media at Barcelona University. She has published many texts about representation and its contextual relationships, such as Ana Mendieta (2002), Corpos de producción: miradas críticas e relatos feministas en torno aos suxeitos sexuados nos espacios públicos (2005) and Plan Rosebud: sobre imágenes, lugares y políticas de memoria (2008). Her audio-visual projects include the videoactions Cronología (1997) or La voz humana (1997), and the documentary-essays La memoria interior (2002), Tiempo real (2003), Ficciones anfibias (2005), Las narrativas del trabajo (2005) and Plan Rosebud (2008).

ElectroClass
Experimental doc. | dv | color and b&w | 53:0 | Spain | 2012
ElectroClass is a film about the imaginary of labour made by a regional television broadcasting channel in Spain starting from the 80s. Taking the archives of ETB (Basque Country broadcasting channel) as source material and the city of Bilbao as a specific case study, ElectroClass reflects upon the dissolution of the traditional concept of the working class, the changes in our working conditions from industrial capitalism to cognitive capitalism,the expansion of the tertiary sector and the radical transformation of the 'polis' city into the 'Bilbao brand'.
born in 1976. Artist, filmmaker, researcher and cultural producer, since 1998, María Ruido has been developing interdisciplinary projects about the imaginaries of labour in postfordist capitalism, as well as about the mechanisms for the construction of memory and its relation to the narrative forms of history. She lives in Madrid and Barcelona, where she works as a teacher at University of Barcelona, and she is part of various research studies on politics of representation and its contextual relations.

PLAN ROSEBUD 2
Documentary | dv | color and b&w | 120:0 | Spain | 2008
Plan Rosebud 2 focuses its attention specifically in the Spanish Transition period and in its cultural context, as well as in the last years of British labour period in the seventies and in the arrival to power on the conservative leader Margaret Thatcher. It tries to dismantle, trough the analysis of some specific cases of social movements and productions of the popular culture, the idea of Transition as a pact among elites, the official discourse, teleological and compact of a political class that, with Adolfo Suárez and the king Juan Carlos at the front, it ?saved? the Spanish state from a new civil war thus making it possible the ?pacific? change to a democratic regime (as we can see and listen, for example in the most famous mythological-media account, La Transición española, the series directed by the journalist Victoria Prego in the first years of the government of Felipe González).

Francisco Ruiz De Infante
La Piedra de Nueva York
Experimental video | dv | color | 18:0 | Spain | 2005
An African legend: It has been a few years since a stranger brought a stone to the village. The stone was found among the debris of a vertical city. The stone was introduced in the aquarium of a tribe, an aquarium that suppressed all the secrets of generations. Since that time, the animals seem less familiar, and accelerations in time have not stopped being produced. Structured as a schizophrenic experience, the video succeeds in evoking an apocalyptic landscape of a drowned earth. The soundtrack creates a feeling of anxiety that three months later begins to produce its fruit: a mud of shapeless little organisms. The inherent domestic reality is interpreted as other realities, other landscapes, and other cultures. An imaginary journey where we ask ourselves about the displacement, about the encounter with other cultures and other customs. Searching for the enigma of the other in an introspective reflection aroused by the powers of displacement. A place explored without mediation through signs, symbols, the traces of time, and its conditions. Francisco Ruiz de Infante works with the tension of the constant menace exploring the natural behaviours and the unconscious in all their destructive and transformative effects, a genuine interior agitation. A structure that reacts in a fashion unhoped for in the face of the other, an agitation that contributes to the progress of the natural system.
Francesco Ruy was born in 1966 in the city of Vitoria-Gasteiz in Holland. He currently lives and works in Paris, Auberive, and Strasbourg, where he has been teaching at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts since 1999.

A varied artist, he has taken courses in cinema, video, photography, theatre, dance, and plastic arts. He has produced individual exhibitions in Europe and the United States; installations and collective exhibitions in the European capitals, as well as in Mexico and Brazil; and has realized shows, performances, and public interventions. His film work has been exhibited at festivals around the world. Since 2002 he has been the co-director at the "Centre des Rives", a contemporary art and documentation centre in the rural medium in Haute-Marne, and since 2001 he has been the co-director of the Transmedia and Chaufferie Festivals (ESAD of Strasbourg).

Synopsis : Un serpent guidé par une main parcourt différents espaces. Un serpent guide une main et regarde plusieurs espaces. Plusieurs espaces bougent lentement derrière une « main à la tête de serpent » : le grenier, l`étagère des livres, le studio de montages vidéo, la salle des machines-contrôle? Le nid de serpents (en réalité des câbles non coupés) se cache au c?ur des machines. Le serpent est libéré et chassé à tour de rôles.

COMPOSITION Excipients Quelques états éphémères (présent/passé/futur), quelques espaces instables, quelques paradoxes (mammifères aquatiques/mauvaises graines), plusieurs dualités faussement ressemblantes (réel/imaginaire), plusieurs journaux télévisés (ou pas) et d?autres complexes accélérateurs de l?inconscient. Catalogation Artiste hors-format, Ruiz de Infante appartient à une génération dont la sensibilité est marquée par la rencontre et la confrontation des machines audiovisuelles avec les matériaux les plus simples, voire les plus quotidiens. Jongler sans complexes entre la haute technologie et le bricolage d`urgence.

Tâches de recherche (objectifs, obsessions et terrains d?observation) 1. Retrouver les modes de construction (sans hiérarchies) de l?enfance. 2. Rendre visibles (sans les trahir) quelques lieux cachés. 3. Inventer des situations avec un désordre hautement sophistiqué.... et dessiner leurs cartographies. 4. Regarder fixement la diversité des EAHCI (Espaces et Actes Humains, Complexes et Inefficaces) 5. Tester les limites du dicton : ?on dit ce qu?on fait... on fait ce qu?on dit? 6. Comprendre et relativiser la notion ?d?interdit?... par l?invention de règles pour d?étranges jeux. 7. Construire des écosystèmes (dans lesquels la notion d?intrus, de catastrophe, de transformation et/ou d?évolution sont prises en compte) 8. Montrer, parfois d?une manière très physique, que la vie est une affaire de risques et qu?il faut être en alerte. Tâches d?ordre alchimique 10. Creuser la problématique de l?échelle. 11. Problématiser ?la chose non-finie? 12. Fabriquer les bouillons de culture inflammables qui génèrent des symétries inexactes. 13.Nourrir l?aquarium des idées cancérigènes à polysémie vertigineuse. (Cf. Projet INDEX) ? Co-opérateurs: Ermeline Le Mézo / Pierre Mercier / Christian Sebille / Eléonore Hellio / les BlueSkyers. ?

Peter Pan, in the novel by J.M. Barrie, taught us that to be able to fly we only have to think of wonderful things. Some know (do we know ?) that we learned to fly a long time ago and we are now flying very fast. But in this world we live in, what we have forgotten - or perhaps never learned - is how to descend slowly, look at the landscape and, after a gentle glide, turn off the engines. Potential Fields is not an audiovisual essay, nor is it a linear science fiction project with a retro aesthetic, nor an epic poem, but it presents characteristics of these three genres to get us into the adventure. Divided into a series of "flights" and "flight simulators", the movie is a metaphor of a society (ours) that is launched at exponential speeds and has no idea where to land, or if it really wants to. The video travels along (and inside) several narrative lines where the real and the unreal are confused. The flight started a long time ago, and to enjoy it we will have to let ourselves be carried away by the currents.

Words shape our impressions and form our history. In ?Scene Shifts, in six movements? a journey through historical layers of various locations on several continents unfolds. However, it is primarily an intellectual journey. The locations, images, texts and music hold references to a long history of cross-cultural misinterpretations.
Jani Ruscica (b.1978) is an artist working with film, video, photography and other media. Ruscica works collaboratively, his interest lies in how one defines one?s location, one?s placement in the world, and how this definition changes ? continuously, if necessary ? according to personal, cultural, representational or even scientific factors. Ruscicas works explore the intersection between cinema, video art, theatre and performance. His recent exhibitions include 6th Liverpool Biennial, 2010, 5th Momentum Biennial, Moss, Norway 2009, ?Life Forms? Bonniers Konsthall, Stockholm, 2009, ?Tracking Traces...?

Against Time
Experimental doc. | 0 | color and b&w | 23:0 | USA, France | 2022
A tone-poem in blue and red by US artist and experimental filmmaker Ben Russell, Against Time is a visually staggering kind of cine diary, shot on various locations between 2019 and 2022. Trying to find a way through the fog of recent years, the piece plays with dissolving images, non-linear montage, modular synthesis, and a variety of looping techniques to reflect on how we experience time as a fragmented phenomenon. It results in hypnotic and beautiful experimental cinema that seems to mirror life in all of its interpersonal intricacies. (Rewire Festival 2023)

Circle A
Video | 4k | color | 29:11 | Ireland, Netherlands | 2023
Circle A departs from a heavily edited conversation between five strangers in an art bookshop. Their discussion circulates around the term 'Anarchy', including its abstraction and how the word functions in both an imaginary and a real way. It is cut alongside footage from the Las Fallas festival, Valencia, a five-day celebration of fire and pyrotechnics as well as interjections from the late author, social theorist and orator Murray Bookchin, who coined the term ‘Lifestyle Anarchism’. Threaded throughout the film are hundreds of newspaper clippings from an open archive. The soundtrack of drums, pops and explosions fall in and out of syncopation, providing driving rhythm and moments of rupture. Circle A inserts Anarchy as an aspirational conceit both on micro and macro level into the language of the everyday spectator. If Anarchy is affirmed as a response to order, the film puts full emphasis on the word ‘response’. In other words, the work is a thought experiment on how to begin to undo a system.
Eoghan Ryan (b. 1987, Dublin, IRE) is based between Brussels, Amsterdam and Dublin. He works across moving image, installation, performance, puppetry and collage. His process engages collective and personal trauma, power dynamics, double speak, acting and reacting to play out disintegrations of mediated language. This often involves confusing and dismantling notions of ‘European’ states of identity, ranging from nation states and states of being to the cultivation of provisional culture, in art as much as bacteria. Recent and selected shows, performances and screenings have taken place at The Complex (IE), Edith Russ Haus(DE), Centrale Fies (IT), ICA London (UK), Busan Biennale (KR) IFFR, Rotterdam (NL), Visio (IT) Foundation Pernot Ricard (FR) Kunstervein Freiburg (DE) South London Gallery (UK) Serralves Museum (PR) and IMMA (IE).

Modern Props
Experimental fiction | hdv | color | 9:30 | Ireland, United Kingdom | 2017
“ Modern Props ” joins a pair of actors as they shop for furnishings and objects to decorate their character’s new home. The department store, in which they shop, is in fact a TV and Film props warehouse; the objects are devoid of their original function, existing only to be photographed. As the couple traverses a multitude of environments; ancient Greek, British colonial, medieval, they begin to experience aesthetic disharmony. Conflicts around etymology, authenticity and concepts of perfection abrade at the relationship until eventually our couple breakup.
Approaching film from an art background, Ruaidhri entertains a distinctly humorous view on hyper-real, self-aware constructs, perpetually chasing a notion of authenticity that does not exist. Often disclosing methods of production and combining the sincere with the ironic, Ruaidhri continues to develop conceptually driven, narrative films for gallery and film festival exhibition.
