Nicolas Wagnières and Benoit Peverelli film the gigntic hotel Yugoslavia in Belgrade, built as a symbol of greatness and unity under Tito. After having been abandoned during the war and then subjected to many renovation projects, it is today a metaphor of the Balkan’s recent history. Jan Ijäs paints the tragic portrait of a man who, as a young student, saw in 1963 in Teheran Stanley Kubrick’s “Spartacus” and believed in this utopia of revolution. In “From Afar”, by Volker Schreiner, the work of editing becomes literally the rewriting of a text, from 200 fragments of film on which appear manuscript notes. Cristina AMIRAN and Khalil CHARIF film the panoptic set-up for the shooting of a video clip, a circle of cameras around an empty center. An unexplained but meaningful situation. Charly Nijensohn films silhouettes standing still in the immensity of a polar landscape. Nicolas Provost films the city of New York as material: its passers-by, its cops. The documentary image produces a fiction through an editing which is simultaneously cinematographic and choreographic. Manon de Boer took 6 shots of the violinist George Van Dam interpreting a Bartok sonata. The assembly of the audio sequences dictated the editing of the image, inverting the traditional predominance of image over sound in the cinema. Manuel Saiz places in a forest two young Japanese women who dance in a synchronized manner to a disco tune. The almost documentary view point and the disjunction with the environment suggest the idea of a secret communication across space. Francis Naranjo theatricalizes the gazer and the object of the gaze, informing us of an intermediate relation between that which is on stage and the person who is watching. A meditation on the gaze, the origin of things.
