Eleonore DE MONTESQUIOU : Kalamees | Exp. documentary | dv | color | 0:23:10 | France / Estonia | 2009 [•]
Ariane MICHEL films a man working in a dark glacial cave, by the light of a single lamp. He is patiently defrosting a gigantic block of earth to find the corpse of a mammoth, intact, emerge from the inside. Peter ROSE explores space with the help of beams of light, creating primitive and mysterious images. Alexandra REYNOLDS recounts a man’s experience of an eye operation, which was used in a research project about visual tracks and meaning. Sabine SCHÖBEL films the Palace of the Republic, emblematic building of the ex-GDR in Berlin. Restored only to be destroyed, its metal skeleton, before being demolished, evokes other ruins, those of Berlin after the bombings and of the World Trade Center. Franziska CORDES et Markus BERTUCH film the abduction and transportation of an equestrian statue, starting at its vertical posture and ending with its horizontal set down. North of the Navarra region, in the forest of Irati, Carlos IRIJALBA, moves about amongst the nature around him, a tower’s light as his stadium, creating a hyper-defined space by and for performance. The tower sheds light, literally and figuratively, on its function as a pre-narrative device. Ben RIVERS films a man isolated in nature seemingly escaping the cycle of time. Eléonore DE MONTESQUIOU films the frozen white vastness of a river in Estonia as a scene in waiting or between-period of an individual or collective history. Sasha fishes in winter. He speaks Russian, but not a word of Estonian. He desires to live neither in Russia nor in Estonia, but in this in-between space which is the Narva-Ivangorod.

Marie LOSIER : Papal Broken Dance | Video | dv | color | 0:06:00 | France / France, USA | 2009 [•]
By assembling documentary and fictitious images, Fernando DEL CUBO offers a vision of Movida closer to reality than the acceptable image that has now become official. Using a pinhole camera, Jérôme SCHLOMOFF films a Blonde Redhead concert played in tribute to Serge Gainsbourg. Jem COHEN offers a portrait of Patti Smith on a walk through the city, in the neighborhood she lives in. Akram ZAATARI and Liliane GIRAUDON direct a poetic portrait of the inhabitants of Tanger. Maite ABELLA films a woman running in a deserted city, and recreates scenes taken from Flemish paintings from the 16th century. Mohamed BOUROUISSA films a correspondence between two individuals, one is imprisoned and the other is free. The film which questions notions of freedom and imprisonment is constructed around an SMS conversation, images and words. Axel PETERSÉN portrays a descendent of the crusades of the 23th century in Bethlehem, a man who admires Louis II of Bavière and Richard Clayderman. Simon MULLAN films a dancer in an unexpected environment. Florencia P. MARANO observes an ambiguous body in front of a mirror, and questions reversibility and identity of feminine and masculine genders. Florencia P. MARANO directs, in the style of the Scopitones of the 1960’s, a music video with Genesis P-Orridge in a boxing ring.

Manuel SAIZ : The Two Teams Team | Video | hd | color | 0:10:00 | Spain / United Kingdom | 2008 [•]
Alix DELMAS films four people in the desert. In a western-like landscape, they put together shapes in polystyrene. In the twilight, the installation unveils itself. Christoph MEIER showcases a film set with extras, and recreates the anticipation for action and suspense. Simon MULLAN offers an experience like no other: fireworks in a tunnel. Dora GARCIA films architect Henry van de Welde’s “La Maison Wolfers” in Brussels in subjective camera. Sound and image are dissociated and a man’s voice can be heard commenting on the principle of the subjective camera, especially used in Samuel Beckett’s “Film” (1965). Carles ASENSIO MONRABÀ documents the rise and fall of a small theater in Sant Celoni, a village close to Barcelona. The projectionist works there as usual, although he is aware of its impending final close. Gustavo SPOLIDORO asks about the future of cinema. With that same question in mind, Wim Wenders filmed Antonioni, Fassbinder, Godard and other filmmakers at Cannes in 1982. 26 years later, the same question remains and it is now Wim Wenders’s turn to answer the question. In 1978, Ira SCHNEIDER shared a beach house with Jean-Pierre Gorin in California, who invited Jean-Paul Godard, Wim Wenders, Heiner Müller and Jim McBride. Manuel SAIZ films two actors on a set discussing the similarities and differences between video art and cinema, shooting, budget, and the different approaches to fiction and reality that both practices have. All the while the camera moves in on them.

Jean-Jacques PALIX : Ce disque est le même que l'autre | Video | dv | color | 0:09:00 | France | 2009 [•]
Antoni PINENT : Film Quartet / Polyframe | Experimental film | 35mm | color and b&w | 0:09:00 | Spain | 2008 [•]
Fani ZGURO manipules a film noir shot in Albania in the ’70 and transforms it into its own film trailer, using a song by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds as the soundtrack. Maia PEDRO uses the film « A Zona » by Sandro Aguilar as a spring board, and exposes the defaults inherent to film. These images drive us to a state of indetermination, in which the narrative and temporal logics are forgotten. Vivian OSTROVSKY directs a cinephile farce, by showing fragments of more than 25 films, from the 20’s to the 90’s, with cowboys, indians, and damsels in distress. Quotes by Wittgenstein, Gilles Deleuze and Slavoj Zizek punctuate the ensemble. Bob PARIS reworks « Shadow of a Doubt » by Alfred Hitchcock. Volker SCHREINER uses signs of emptiness as a motive. Eli CORTIÑAS HIDALGO stretches an end scene into infinity. Karel DE COCK proposes a meditation on female representation in western films, by reworking a scene from “The Searchers” de John Ford. On a split-screen Jean-Jacques PALIX combines rushes of feature films representing record players or DJs. A film mixing a film, the soundtrack consists of sound clips from the original rushes. Antoni PINENT directs a cinematographic piece which questions the definition of the frame as a minimal unit of cinematographic time, and breaks it up into four fragments. He revisits extracts from avant-guard and experimental Hollywood films. A balance of images is conserved, while still offering an analysis of the history of cinema. Cinema in a state of reinvention, destruction and explosion.
