Workshop of the etcher Vladimir, in the center of Kyiv, Ukraine, looks like hermetic bubble. But even here we can hear external world. What do Vladimir wait from the revolution?

Scenes of daily life on the banks of the Danube in Serbia; little or nothing seems to happen for these men stranded at the port along with the boats. Guided by a protagonist who is at the same time endearing yet a little naive and quirky, the discussions touch on economics, moths, the old songs from their youth, in fashion in the 1970s. A sensitive observational film about a society put on hold.

Stefan IVANČIĆ was born in Belgrade, SFR Yugoslavia, in 1985. From 1991 to 2009 he lived in Barcelona, Spain, where he got his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. After living for 18 years far away from his birthplace, he went back to what was left of Yugoslavia in 2009, and graduated in film directing at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade, Serbia, in 2013. He has written film criticism for a number of Spanish and Serbian publications, he is a member of FIPRESCI and he was a founding member and editor-in-chief of the Spanish web-magazines Lumière (www.elumiere.net) and Contrapicado. He has collaborated in several collective books on cinema and has worked as a programmer and publications editor at Cinema City International Film Festival Novi Sad, Pančevo Film Festival and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria International Film Festival. His short films Soles de primavera (2013), 1973 (2014) and Moonless Summer (2014) have been selected at a great number of international film festivals, including Cannes, Rotterdam, FID Marseille, Torino, San Sebastian, Visions du Réel, IndieLisboa, Seville, Thessaloniki, L’Alternativa Barcelona and Premiers Plans Angers. Stefan is currently producing the feature film The Load by Ognjen Glavonić, a Hubert Bals Fund, CineMart and Connecting Cottbus-supported project.

The video project is dedicated to the current political reality of the war between Russia and Ukraine, in which a lot of people are involved. On September 21, 2022, Vladimir Putin announced a "partial" mobilization. Many of our relatives and friends who did not want to participate in the war found themselves under the threat of being forcibly drawn into the military action. Many managed to escape and avoid this fate, many had to abandon their families to do so, leaving them in uncertainty about the future. Daria and Polina, observing these events both from the inside and from the outside (Polina emigrated to Thailand at the beginning of the war), brought another perspective to their observation - that of surveillance cameras, indifferent and accurate witnesses and instruments of human manipulation, depending on who uses them. Almost a year has passed since the mobilization. We fear the second wave of mobilization and say goodbye in advance to those of our friends who still remain in Russia. We are talking about things that are forbidden to talk about in “our” country, because it's our way of resistance.

Daria Ivans is a xenomedia artist from Saint Petersburg specializing in the magical analysis of digital algorithms, beloved daughter of dispersed Y2K melancholy, interface therapist-researcher of molten Web 1.0, gif-jockey of dig-artifacts and amulets for forging extensions of connections between worlds and points of contemporaneity, cyber-switcher/-scanner of sticky image mutations. She is a bachelor of philosophy, master of "Art & Science." Polina Orlikova (aka Popo) is a young musician currently living and creating in Bangkok. Her interests and productions are laid around discovering and exploring young genres. In her latest path she is looking for the intersections between club and experimental sounds.

«Ce film est né de mon amour pour la musique africaine contemporaine. Je collectionne des enregistrements de cette musique depuis une vingtaine d`années en me concentrant particulièrement sur la musique des anciennes colonies portugaises Angola, Mozambique, Guinée-Bissau et Cap Vert. Un jour, alors que j`étais en train de classer mes enregistrements de musique angolaise, j`ai découvert que je possédais six versions différentes d`une chanson intitulée Muxima. C`est ainsi que le film est né. » Alfredo Jaar

Alfredo Jaar est né en 1956 à Santiago de Chili. Il a remporté le prestigieux MacArthur Fellowship, ainsi que d?autres prix. Il a étudié l?architecture et la réalisation. Depuis 1982, il vit et travaille à New York. Son travail a été exposé dans des expositions individuelles et de groupe dans les musées du monde entier, dont le New Museum of Contemporary Art de New York, le Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art et au Moderna Museet de Stockholm. Jaar a également présenté son travail aux biennales de Venise, de São Paulo, de Johannesburg, de Sydney, d?Istanbul, et de Kwangju. Son travail a été exposé en 2002 à la Documenta de Kassel avec son installation « Lament of the Images ». Alfredo Jaar est un artiste sans compromis. Ses installations combinent des éléments photographiques, architecturaux, et des images documentaires, et explorent les relations complexes développées entre les nations et les soit disant pays du tiers-monde. Dans son travail, Alfredo Jaar suit et souligne les ironies et les injustices qui caractérisent ces relations, et met à jour la recherche systématique du profit qui y sont sous jacentes.

THE GREEN SERPENT takes us to a journey into the depths of intoxication: drinking vodka as a transcendental experience. Bitten by the green snake, people enter into a twilight zone where the beauty of life becomes indistinguishable from a dark, devastating void and inspiration and destruction can equally form. During this cinematic anti-postcard trip through the Russian winterland we meet the actor Aleksandr Bashirov, the poet Mstislav Biserov and physicist Nikolai Budnev who speak about their relationship and experience with vodka; the inner struggles and liberations it might awake. This brusque Cinepoem explores the potential of vodka to extend the world beyond religion and materialism. THE GREEN SERPENT is an artistic meditation about drinking, an ode to passion not only for inebriated barflies, but for everyone driven by a sense of wonder and a desire for ecstasy in life.

Camo is a man living in a small town in West Texas with his dog. Hidden in the seat of his red pickup truck, he watches cowboys riding horses at rodeos. During a night of observation, his gaze stumbles on a man whom he begins to follow obsessively. From a car chase on the roads of the Texan desert to the inside a silent bedroom, Camo's impulses lead him into playing a dangerous game from which a repressed desire arises.

Built from the audio tracks of dubbed vampire films and footage from home movies, Les immortelles is a film collage in four chapters that places mother-daughter relationships at the heart of a tale on immortality. As they come together and grow apart, the floating, recombined bodies seek to coexist between life and death. Featuring members of my family (the mother, the daughter, the sister, the granddaughter) this film explores the traces of the memories that we carry within us, and that, ghost-like, prolong our lives outside of ourselves.

THE SCENIC ROUTE, 2008, 25 min., brief sound during beginning titles, b/w & clr. One of the nice things about movies was you could keep them at a distance. We were dimensional, they were flat, so it was easy to know which was which. But THE SCENIC ROUTE seemingly spills from the screen, threatening demarcation lines everywhere.

NOTHING/MOVING was created for the exhibition of Jonas Mekas: Fragments of Paradise at the Maya Stendhal Gallery, NYC, as a single monitor multichannel installation based on Jonas Mekas? epic film As I was Moving Ahead Occasionally I saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty, 16mm, 2000. Diary footage of twenty-five years of living in SoHo, New York City, and spontaneous voice-over commentary are used as raw material, along with fragments of soundtrack from Louie Malle?s Zazie dans le Metro, which I first saw at Mekas? Anthology in SoHo in 1976, and exotic bird calls forming a visual/aural poem homage to Jonas Mekas. Credits: Montage/Sound by Nisi Jacobs. Conception: Nisi Jacobs with Pip Chodorov.

Ken Jacobs Biography Born in Brooklyn, NY, 1933. After completion of high school, I went into the Coast Guard for two years. The GI Bill enabled me to study painting at various schools and to study film at CUNY but it wasn`t until I began studying painting with Hans Hofmann, 1956-57, that I felt that I was studying with someone who had something to teach.

An antique stereograph image of cotton-pickers, computer-animated to present the scene in an active depth even to single-eyed viewers. Silent, mournful, brief.

excerpt from THE SKY SOCIALIST stratified A digital visit in 2009 to where we, Flo and I, had been in 1964/65. Young people of today, take my word there`s no exaggerating how vivid, of the moment, whizbang and splendidly new 1964 and 65 were in their time. True, I was entering my thirties but Flo, my child-bride, was turning 23. Underground Cinema had gotten momentarily hot just as my 16mm camera was stolen. I recoiled from the throng pushing to enter the circle of cheap celebrity and switched to 8mm. I then filmed THE SKY SOCIALIST, a sunny feature during the time of US assault upon the Vietnamese people -why? because they were there, they were "yellow". and profit margins couldn`t be better, and afterwards Flo and I struggled to make a decent 16mm. blow-up, yet to happen. The purpose of cinema as I understood it then was to lie, in order to make history bearable. The lie, however, was to be obvious enough so as to allude to the truth; film was a lie that invited seeing through, it was like religion but with a more of a wink. Flo then became a stand-in for Anne Frank, while The Muse Of Cinema flew to the rescue with a happy ending mostly because she knew doing so gave her a chance to look good. Our days were permeated with the transcendent music of Olivier Messiaen and Charles Ives and Arnold Schoenberg and so, naturally, was this perfectly self-indulgent movie. For this return visit some of Messiaen can still be heard, contending with the supremely hip sensibility of Michael Schumacher.

Here seen in stereo, Leeds Bridge (U.K.) is again active in deep space. Other 3-D comments regarding the rise of cinema are made. A 6`4 man among a 5`2 population, this giant "vanished" on the way to the patent office, quite possibly a feat of wizardry (skullduggery?) by The Wizard Of Menlo Park, Thomas Edison. Suspicions remain but now Edison is also gone and there`s only the film-fragment (originally over 200 frames) left to investigate. Also available as a Polaroid two-projector installation.

Epacta is Latin for the number of days which must be calculated to synchronize the lunar and solar calendars. The solar year of 365 days and the lunar year of 354 generally require 11 days to line up. I have taken sounds of the moon?s instrument, ropes and metal walkways, played by the tides tugging on docked vessels in ports, simultaneously being played upon by the moon?s gravitational pull on our water bodies. The audio of EPACTA LUNAE, A DAY AND A HALF derives from numerous layered natural field recordings within a bed of synthesized chords. EPACTA LUNAE, A DAY A HALF is the first video-sound poem which comprise a much larger project in process entitled THE MOON?S GUITAR, COLLABORATION WITH THE TIDES.

"From The Horse's Mouth was commissioned by Maya Stendhal of Maya Stendhal Gallery, NYC, for the Vital Signs 2005 exhibition. The video has a second title: "I Can Produce - Pronounce - Nuclear, which is its generative motivating core, an unscripted moment during Laura Bush's delivery of an entirely scripted stand-up comedy routine at the 2005 White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington D.C., in which through a Freudian slip she substituted 'produce' for 'pronounce'. The effect is staggering since it is her husband at the banquet table, smiling widely at her jokes, who has failed to produce WMD's stated as his reason for an invasion of Iraq. The images contort and writhe through visually gagging effects, intensifying the already-sick toxicity and hypocrisy which engulfs the room of 2,500 politicians, journalists, and media 'managers' who enjoy the manufactured wit and simultaneously implicate themselves in the crimes of her husband.

A 6`4 man among a 5`2 population, this giant "vanished" on the way to the patent office, quite possibly a feat of wizardry (skullduggery?) by The Wizard Of Menlo Park, Thomas Edison. Suspicions remain but now Edison is also gone and there`s only the film-fragment (originally over 200 frames) left to investigate. Also available as a Polaroid two-projector installation.

Struck by the ease of someone as articulate and expressive as my father losing their language facilities overnight with the advent of a stroke, I began filming the text of the city. The recorded audio is a montage of Peter Rose?s fabricated dialects when I recorded him reading a poem of mine mixed with synthetically altered wailing. Moments of mangled writing from various days after the stroke weave into the formal blocks of words in the environment playing between language as symbol, language as image, and language as pure experience.

YOSHIKO 5`, 2007, DV, A/V By Nisi Jacobs YOSHIKO, a collage of pilfered footage and self-produced video, is a tribute to my life-long friend, Yoshiko Masuzawa. Yoshiko emigrated to the U.S. from Japan in the early 1960`s and lived in the apartment below. She lived through the war as a child and instructed me in important ways; the single time I remember her angered was when, as children, we began to play with and throw rice at the dinner table. She said that rice kept her and her family alive during the war, that it was precious, and not to be thrown around. Like other members in her family, Yoshiko has been suffering - with immense grace - colon cancer for the last several years. She was recently diagnosed with a terminal form of cancer and moved to a hospice. This film is an attempt to encapsulate my regard and admiration for her tigress spirit, humour, and gracious humanity. -Nisi Jacobs, 10/17/07
