Can a horse save a life? In Clondalkin (Dublin) that’s exactly the case. In a district with a lot of problems and not may of prospects, young people face drugs, prison and crime as their only path. But some of them manage to escape thanks to an unusual hobby. They tame wild horses and become… urban cowboys. When 14-year-old Dylan hits a bad streak in his life, he finds comfort in Shelly, a white mare that quickly becomes his whole world. Even though taming wild horses is illegal in Ireland and Shelly’s hooves are not used to the concrete streets, their unlikely friendship grows stronger.

Born in 1981, he graduated from the Lodz National Film School and from the Wajda School in Warsaw. The short documentaries and fiction films he has made so far have received wide publicity at numerous film festivals around the world and have won many prestigious awards. His documentary Rogalik got IDFA nomination in 2012. It has also been shown and awarded at festivals such as Zagreb Dox, Alcine Festival (First Prize), and festivals in Oberhausen, Beijing, Bucharest, Cracow and others. Apart from directing, Pawel Ziemilski is involved in social animation, organizing workshops for so-called troubled youth.

A drifting conversation takes place in the interior of the former residence of the Pope of the Enlightenment in Bologna, Italy. LUMI – Trio was conceived and filmed in bird's-eye long takes combining fictional narration, staged documentary and re-enactment. Although they have different origins -Omar was born in Ghana and raised in Italy, Yakub emigrated from Nigeria, Bianca is Italian- the three friends are coming of age in the same city and their shared desire to explore the world makes them aware of the arbitrary limits imposed by their passports. Their languid talks range from quarantine to desires for escape, from projections about the future to mutual attraction, discovering that some prejudices still separate the group of “us” from “ the others”.

Anna de Manincor | ZimmerFrei Born in Trento (Italy), lived in various cities - for work and for choice - including Bologna, Marseille, Brooklyn, Bari, Brussels and a Greek island of the Dodecanese. Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna and Sassari (Sardinia). Since 2000 works within the collective ZimmerFrei, founded with sound designer Massimo Carozzi and artist Anna Rispoli and realized several documentary films, video installations, soundwalks, performances and public art projects. Exploring the boundaries between public space and private territories, ZimmerFrei portrays everyday situations of living and working, seeking for sudden and unstable epiphanies. ZimmerFrei’s recent works are dedicated to urban and rural contexts in transformation, observing temporary communities taking shape, fading away or transforming again. Most of the film works are created on site thanks to residence production grants (Belgium, France, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Italy, Greece and China) or with international co-production (Italy-France-Belgium). Since 2011, the long term working cycles by ZimmerFrei have been produced with European funds, in the frame of InSitu Network (Temporary Cities: 6 documentary films), Open Latitudes (Family Affair, live format with local participants in 8 European cities) and Atlas of Transitions (Saga, doc in 4 episodes).

Five authors from different regions of the world read the novel The Shape Of Things To Come by H.G. Wells together and then started writing. The visual artist Tobias Yves Zintel transforms their texts into an experimental video. How have human beings shaped the planet? And, in turn, how has the planet shaped human beings through large-scale climatic changes? And what form will our life together take on if we no longer place the human being above all others?

In his artistic practice Tobias Yves Zintel (1975, Passau, Germany) draws on different genres as film, theater, performance, installation and music. Through conscious border crossings he re-arranges and re-mixes selected parts from these fields and creates narrative documentaries between fact and fiction. In his films, he focusses on existential questions about human identity - its rituals and belief systems and how these are influencing the experience of reality. He also works as artistic/scientific Associate in the Department of fine Arts at the KHM in Cologne.

Tobias Yves Zintel greift in seinen filmischen und performativen Arbeiten auf Methoden und Mittel des Experimentalfilms, der Theaterinszenierung, der Musikproduktion und -aufführung sowie der Installationskunst zurück. Die so entstehenden Montagen beschreiben bewusst eine Grenzüberschreitung zwischen Fakt und Fiktion, zwischen Dokument und Fragment. Das zugrunde liegende Material rekurriert dabei stets auf Aspekte der Kunst- und Filmgeschichte, Philosophie und Naturwissenschaft wie auch der Alltags- und Popkultur. Bei den Arbeiten stehen Fragen der Subjektkonstitution im Zentrum – präziser: Die Handlungsweisen und Rituale sowie die Wissens- und Glaubenssysteme, welche den Prozess der Subjektwerdung begleiten.

Der Film Traumberuf Realität, entstanden während des Interventionsprojektes ?Hauptschule der Freiheit? der Münchner Kammerspiele, ist eine filmische Reflexion über die Lebensperspektiven junger Menschen. Befragt werden zehn Absolventen einer Münchner Hauptschule zu ihren beruflichen Hoffnungen und Wünschen; sowie zu den scheinbar notwendigen Kompromissen, die der Arbeitsmarkt an sie heranträgt. Spürbar wird die Malaise einer postindustriellen Gesellschaft, in der schwindende Lohnarbeitsplätze subtile und offensichtliche Deformationen verlangen, ohne eine glaubwürdige Zukunft zu bieten. Sekundiert von einem Bildungssystem, das, statt die Menschen in ihrer Substanz zu stärken, sie als Erfüllungsgehilfe des Arbeitsmarktes biografisch degradiert. Dagegen stellt ?Traumberuf. Realität.? eine einzige Frage: Wie würdest du gern mit deinem Leben umgehen? - und kontert die Tristesse des somnambulen Arbeitnehmers mit persönlichen Träumen und Wünschen. Die Suchkriterien lauten: Wo ist die Würde und das Selbstbewusstsein? Wo ist der Respekt? Welches Potential, welche Kreativität und welche Leidenschaft werden unterdrückt und verschwendet? Und welche Perspektiven und Möglichkeiten könnten wir entwickeln? Könnten?

The film work by Tobias Yves Zintel integrates various genres such as performance, installation, music, and theater. He makes films in an idiosyncratic visual language, confronting us with scenes of grotesqueries, mysterious actions, and sublime universes. Mental Radio, the film?s title, is taken from the title of a book written in 1930 by Upton Sinclair, which describes the experiments conducted with his wife, who had telepathic powers. Besides the attempt to trace the inexplicable things in a family constellation, Zintel also grapples with the question of how to deal with the mentally ill in our society.

A wrongly imprisoned man is taken to be executed. At the very last moment, he manages to escape. He wants to see his home one last time before dying. On his way, the Man, like a wild animal, hides away from people, becoming more and more a part of the wilderness that surrounds him. Julius Zizz`s disturbing new short film balances between beauty and menace. It suggests that there may be grace in being threatened, tracked and hunted: it posits evil in the power of the pursuer and shows how that power infects innocence. Shot in bright sun and light-dappled forests, THE WOLF, speaks of the horror of mankind in the ravishing face of nature. It is a remarkable work about how society defines itself in terms of whom it excludes, a fearful portrait of tribalism. Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art

Storm over London is a film that seemingly uses the tropes of narrative however the film hesitates to make a conclusion instead it take us into a journey of speculation.There is a storm brewing in London, there are riots in the streets. Who is that person laying on the bed? And what's all this about a fly. Storm over London is an enigmatic,surrealist detective story with a touch of Kafka.

A short film about the world, as seen through the eyes of a boy.Sitting by a river he examines the environment of the bacteria living in the water, he attentively scruitinises the microbes through a magnifying glass, which doubles up as a kind of keyhole through which the boy peeps through into a big abstraction.

Marcel Duchamp talks about an absurd 'readymade'. An art dealer creates a discourse using the idea of the 'readymade'. An art historian talks about her long time relationship observing Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty. These personal micro-histories around paradigm shifting artists offers hidden knowledge around the common art historical narrative. While the artist turns over the rocks of the Spiral Jetty, bringing back the experiential quality to an artwork that is mostly known through images.

A place of sometimes conflicting cultural and political interests, which was once considered a “no-go zone” by the municipality, as well as cultural gentrification zone, can perhaps be described as an expressive and symphonic micro-city. Surrounded by several small-scale industries, established in the 1930s, there is a lingering scent from the nearby Pågen bread-factory. Here, a Baptist church gathers upstairs of an old production facility side by side with flowing neon from Arab furniture stores and carpet stores. In Nadir, the narratives surrounding the street are reformulated as “anti-narrative” through a series of sensorial sequences through and on the street.

A flash animation produces alternative images - passing through several superimposed levels, some hundreds of semi-transparent sequences, animated and in black and white, pass by in random order every four seconds. Each sequence of images then is the mask of the next one. Nearly infinite possibilities of combinations and a duration of modifiable presentation at will follow. Animation permanently reinvents itself. The strict reduction to black and white produces the impression of a drawing. The impression created by the forming images permanently hovers between formal-abstract and associative-concrete. One of this work's strong points rests in the attempt to "automatically" generate dynamic compositions. A sort of "signs machine" is born, independent, inspired by the tide of media images.

Benjamin Zuber was born in 1982 in Bamberg. From 2002 to 2004 he studied Media-Sciences and History of Art at the University of Humboldt in Erlangen. Since 2004, he has been studying Free Painting and Artistic Education with Professor Michael Munding at the Akademie der bildenden Künste (Academy of Fine Arts) in Nuremberg. He has initiated the application of different projects, for instance a temporary fashion label, and practices as an independent graphic-designer in the field of print run and web. Artistically he is, at the same time, working on experimental multimedia and painting/drawing works. He considers drawing a kind of a raw material of all other work; the works brought to fruition being mostly installations. Conceptually and structurally, Zuber insists on the visual analysis and solemn pursuit of the bombing of omnipresent images performed by the mass media (that he meanwhile uses himself in his graphic-designing).

Set in the millenary Chinese city of Suzhou —now a super modern city— a fragile reconstruction of optical reality fails to fully materialise. Two mysterious characters help the “package” (POV) to follow a linear trajectory of space time, nevertheless there will be several instances to escape the linear construct. Sounds of machine guns, sonic monsters and war explosions do not interrupt the peaceful flow of an evening walk.

Luciano Zubillaga is an artist and scholar whose major works take the form of transdisciplinary research in the intersections of art, philosophy and technology with publicly engaged practice.

Sluice Art Fair London 2015 http://sluice.info/2015 (from the catalogue) Luciano Zubillaga`s Things to Come 1968–2015   Sluice Art Fair 2015 have pleasure in presenting the UK premier of Luciano Zubillaga`s new feature film Things to Come staring the iconic German actress Hanna Schygulla.    Things to Come is a powerful cinematic essay that poetically meditates on magic, youth, the politics of idealism and the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke as narrated by Hanna Schygulla.    Things to Come is set within Ex ESMA, the former Argentine military detention camp, notorious for the torture summary execution and disappearance of political dissidents during the 1970s, and serves within Things to Come as the place to memorialise not just those who have fallen in the fight against dictatorship, but also the possibility of revolutionaries yet to come and lovers yet to meet.    Things to Come radically reinterprets the art of cinema by exploring the graphic score Ongilash, composed in 1968 by the directors father Luis Zubillaga, as a way of rethinking how the spatiality of our everyday notions of past, present and future, have been fundamentally de-centred as a result of 20 th century avant-garde art practice and the implications of quantum mechanics.   Things to Come explores the potential for theatre beyond the linear, a fourth dimensional space were performers and places continually merge into one another.    Things to Come is part of Alien Cartographies, a series of three films by Luciano Zubillaga that explore how ‘posthumanism` and ‘decolonial options` may come to effect how we see and experience narratives of spacetime within moving image and art practice. Things to Come 1968–2015 will also feature a live performance of the film’s music score -- Ongilash -- by the London College of Music Camerata and the English Chamber Orchestra Ensemble. Ongilash the music of Things to Come The Argentine composer Luis Zubillaga (1928–1995) composed the symphonic work, Ongilash in 1968. The title originates in the music of George Gurdjieff, the reading of a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke and the first word pronounced by the composers son.    Ongilash avoids traditional music notation by embracing the experimental graphic style explored during the 1960`s that allow each performer the space to create, but within strict parameters.    Ongilash takes temporal dynamics to the limit: a crescendo from the barely audible to the fortissimo maximo, non-traditional sound attacks, meticulous durations stipulated in seconds and the use of the voices of the performers.    Ongilash received a posthumous premiere performance in 2012 by the Argentine National Symphony Orchestra in Buenos Aires and this performance will be the premiere of this work in the UK.   Ongilash will be performed live by the London College of Music Camerata Orchestra in partnership with the English Chamber Orchestra Ensemble and will be performed as a loop with intervals.

A silent city, mysteriously devoid of inhabitants, is crossed by a man who has come from a faraway country. The anonymised architecture that composes the urban landscape guides the person into an inaccessible space, the city cemetery, which will make him reflect on his own identity.

Enea Zucchetti was born in Lugano in 1996. Since childhood he has developed a strong interest in cinema and visual arts. In 2017 he moved to Milan where, influenced by the language of documentary and photography, he began to experiment with the image through audiovisual projects. Currently his artistic research touches on the themes of architecture, urban planning and contemporary landscape. His first short film, "L?azzurro del cielo", was selected at the 72nd Locarno Festival and other national and international film festivals.

We stick out to almost two hours of the live of the neighborhood the 10th February 2006 afternoon to be precise, shot without interruption. The neighbors that have wished participate inviting us to their places, their houses, their garages, their daily occupations, explain us things of an any day in which we could guess the origin and the future of the city.

Claudio?s backround as a composer and his Doctorate in Aesthetics lead him directly towards the composition, creation and direction of a number of theatrical preformances (Varios efectos del Amor; Telediario; Macbeth, sempre; Fragor, Taxi, Fonia, Trenes de Marzo, Renacimiento.), all of these sharing one common characteristic: the application of new technologies in the service of the spoken word and expression. All of these performances were produced by Acteon and presentesd at national and international festivals. Work in the audiovisual area as well as the search for new forms of using the technical means available led Claudio to create audiovisual installations which were intended to be situated in art, cultural and conceptual centres (Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo (Sevilla), Centre de Cultura Contemporánea de Barcelona, Caixaforum (Barcelona) Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea (santiago de Compostela), Espai d?Art Contemporàni de Castelló, Le cargo (Grenoble), La Casona (Panamá), Lille 2004). The materials produced for these projects have been developed hand-in-hand with documentary filmaking both for cinema and for television. In 2000 Claudio wrote his first complete film screeplay courtesy of a grant from the Ministry of Culture ICAA. In 2004 he directed and produced Beatriz/Barcelona and the documentary L?Avenir (The Future) and began to receive international awards (Leipzig, Mar de Plata (Chile), Tampere, Vannes...). In 2006 he directed the full film ?A través del Carmel? (The Shifting City) which was selected for the 2006 Sitges Film Festival where it was presented in the Catalan Focus section. In 2002 he published his first book ?Horas de la Ciudad? (City Hours, Ed. Calima) Claudio is also an Associate Professor attached to the Instituto Universitario del Audiovisual, at the Universitat Pompeu i Fabra de Barcelona. His theoretical activity includes lectures, courses, and publications in the course of which he has touched on such topics as the nature of art, the history of the performing arts and the means of communication in context.
