?Reconversão? portrays 17 buildings and projects by Portuguese architect Eduardo Souto Moura, accompanied usually by his own writings. It is a search for his architecture, without critical commentary. Only the tour guide at Braga Stadium offers generalizations, which fit that work well enough, but it may be the exception, not the rule. Souto Moura has the last word: ?If there is nothing there, I invent a preexistence.? Technically, ?Reconversão? combines the crudeness of proto-cinema with the hyperrealism of digital cinema, bringing us back to the ideals of Dziga Vertov. Shooting only one or two frames per second and animating the images, in the manner of Muybridge, produces greater resolution, although not necessarily a greater sense of reality, and brings attention to the movements of water and vegetation that generally pass unnoticed.

Thom Andersen has lived in Los Angeles for most of his life. In 1974 he completed ?Eadweard Muybridge, Zoopraxographer?, an hour-long documentation of Muybridge?s photographic work. In 1995, with Noel Burch, he completed ?Red Hollywood?, a videotape about the filmwork created by the victims of the Hollywood Blacklist. In 2003 he complested ?Los Angeles Plays Itself?, a video essay about the representation of Los Angeles in movies. In 2010, he also directed ?Get Out of the Car?, about the visual archeology of the city. He has taught film composition at the California Institute of the Arts since 1987.

The simplest of questions. An overwhelming silence. The conundrum of existence.

A reflection on the artist’s own work, mirrored in a dialogue involving three secondhand characters. Together they make an honest evaluation of the artwork to reveal the harsh truth.

In a colorful setting, where thoughts and ideas aren’t necessarily black or white, a situation of non-communication is enacted. Two men and a woman are throwing their most inner thoughts at each other, but finding little solace in the others’ words. Communication can sometimes be unidirectional, even though a dialogue is taking place, and where certainty can be a comfort, perhaps skepticism and doubt should be the default.

A man in confrontation with two women, one vulnerable and easily influenced, the other hesitant and questioning. On one hand the man is preching a veracity to the already converted and on the other a mendacity to the doubtful. Or is it the other way around? "A Veracity A Mendacity" questions if there, in the name of reason, can exist only one truth to any situation, and who should have the mandate to tell others what is right and what is wrong.

These words are all true. These words are all used. This is the way the wind is blowing. This is the wind of the reality in which we live. All words are already spoken. All things are already said. Nothing is original. Nothing is new.

A dark forest, a neverending road, two men with differing ideas on how to approach a problem. The outline of Delusion Disillusion is quite simple, but the possibilities of interpretation are more complex. Are the men referring to a matter of more personal character, or are they speaking of something much more general? The contrast between the density of the trees in the beginning of the video and the final, almost clear-cut forest, gives us one hint towards a possible solution.

Represented with videoworks at several art institutions, among them Moderna Museet in Stockholm and IVAM, Institut Valencià d`Art Modern.

"A Small Part of the World" is a video full of statements and slogans. Which should we believe in, and which should we not? In an overpopulated world, how shall we find the true way to live our lives in harmony? Don't treat the sayings of religious or political leaders as truths and let them steer you off your way to what's right in life. The Chinese Communist Party's slogan: "Seek truth from facts" might be a statement to follow, but which are the "right" truths - which is the way you choose in life?

A video that displays a man's confrontation with his own self. A meeting that is not always as rewarding as one might have hoped. Classic filmsequences have been re-cut and animated to illustrate this dilemma, and the final imagery is created in a highly contrasted style, with characters echoing of decades from long ago.

In a gymnasium, a seventeen year old girl is training on a trampoline. Her father, who is coaching her, is barking out instructions. The forced training causes her to suffer but she is obsessed with the idea of winning the big double somersault competition. With the prize money her father will finally be able to pay their debts. Natasha cannot disappoint him. She has the feeling that he doesn't love her as much now that she has grown up. The gold medal will change everything. The accident is inevitable, she misses her landing and hurts her head. Lacking money, his father decides to look after her himself: the mother recommands total isolation in one particular room of the house. For several weeks, the father has been observing Natasha through the key hole of the room with mirrors. She talks alone, he thinks. And she doesn't look like she wants to get better. The great somersault competition seems compromised. Then, one day, the door opens and Natasha receives a gift from her father: a role-play. The mother gets dangeroulsly close to her. Now she is ready. She convinces her father to contact the judges of the federation so that they accept her late inscription to the competition. She is determined to show them what she is capable of, her father is going to love her again, unless her mother intervenes...

Alice Anderson was born in London in 1976 and was raised in the south of France. She studied at the Beaux-Arts of Paris (1998-2001), received the Gilles Dusein prize for her videos (2002), then left for London to complete a M.A. at Goldsmiths College in London (2002-04), where she has been living since. She has shown her work in such prestigious places as: The European House of Photography, The Pompidou Centre, Emap Museum in Korea, The Anna Norlender Museum in Sweden, The Man Museum in Italy, Bloomberg Space in London, and Art Unlimited in Basel. Most recently she presented a new tale at the Yvon Lambert Gallery at her personal exhibition in January 2007.

"No river protects me from myself" takes as its starting point the mysterious theft of filmed material shot in the Congo Basin rainforest. This accident offered a response to conflicts arising from the fragile and transubjective encounter with the “non-I”, which could only be practised or experienced; if one tries to virtualise it, it ceases to exist. The impossibility of representing a reality that is not one's own without creating distance or detachment, or conversely, taking control of it, leads to a backwards retreat in which, through conversations with my mother, I discover a fragmented and contradictory identity based on fragile foundations. This incessant external search for forms of knowledge that differ from the consensus—or compulsory—reality becomes internal.

An interest in the aesthetic experience and how it works as a transformer of conscience led Carla Andrade (Vigo, Spain, 1983) to study both a Degree in Audio-Visual Communication Studies and Philosophy, as well as an M.A in Artists’ Film and Moving Image at Goldsmiths University of London. This intersection between the means of visual expression and a field close to reflection is, precisely, the central aspect that defines her work. Travelling is also an important part of her process so she has carried out Artist Residencies in Iceland, Sweden, Nepal, Chile or Paris, among others. She has shown her work (both individually and collectively) in renowned contemporary art venues such as Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao, MARCO Vigo, Le 104 Paris, CaixaForum Barcelona, Tabacalera Madrid, La Casa Encendida Madrid, Bilbaoarte, Lux London or Tabakalera Donosti, etc; and in prestigious international Photography and Film Festivals such as PhotoEspaña, Mois de la Photo (Paris) or Encontros da imagem (Portugal); International Film Festival Rotterdam, Zinebi, PortoPostDoc, Courtisane, Ji.hlava, L’Alternativa Barcelona, Curtocircuito or Alchemy Film Festival. Furthermore, her work has been part of important international publications from South Korea, USA, Brazil or Spain and acquired by public and private art collections such as CA2M or CGAC. Likewise, her work has obtained awards including the First Prize of Visual Arts 2013 from Complutense University of Madrid, Emerging Artists Award Absolut 2013, Frac Vila Acquisition Award 2013 from Luis Adelantado Gallery, Women Award-Forum-Dialogue Alliance Francaise / Pilar Citoler 2012, Photography Award Madrid SUMMA 201, etc; and grants from Injuve, Institut Français, BilbaoArte Foundation, VEGAP, Agadic and the Scholarships for Abroad Artistic Creation Gas Natural Fenosa.

This musical music is only composed from two short samples proposed by the composer Pyo. One of these two samples is used to build up the whole composition, transformed via various digital processes while the other one appears punctually with very few modifications in comparison with the original. This musical piece is inspired by Danae?s myth.

Born in 1978, he had a scientific formation in mathematics and cognitive sciences. After his masmaster in computing ergonomics - while doing narrative acoustic music composition (http://ieva70.free.fr/sound/iev.htm), he definitely turns to the use and the practice of the computer and the use of this informatic tool as the continuation of oneself ? reflection around the gesture, a grammar or almost a language and its representation through a communication network that is internet: the lengthening of the work started in 2000 at the SCRIME ? Studio of Creation and Informatics Research and Eclectro-acoustic Music -, on sound manipulation interface conception ergonomics and improvisation meant for children. His major practice remains music, written (composition or video music) or improvised; He produces also poetic multimedia forms and a few experimental movies.

A game with simulation and reality in a strange but real environment. Its ?reality? recalls not only the cold milieu of simulation programs, but also the artifical ?happiness? of an IKEA store. Without a trace of a human, the environment starts to change - the objects are exploding. The film subverts the viewer?s destructive instincts in a playful way, reflecting as well on the artificiality of the media (industry) surrounding us day by day.

(Brise la mer ! / Jeune, révolution !) : deux courts films prennent le spectateur en étau, et à travers eux, deux paroles sur l?histoire : celle de Narriman B., qui s?interroge sur les raisons de la guerre d?Algérie à l?occasion de la commémoration de l?Indépendance (1962). Et celle d?Ikbel Z., confronté au délitement de la Révolution de jasmin et au désenchantement de la jeunesse tunisienne. Quand aux cuves de pétrole du port de Béjaia, (Algérie), répondent les toupies d?abord fougueuses, puis de plus en plus lentes, d?une table de café tunisienne, de quel tour sur soi-même la révolution, dans l?un et l?autre de ces deux pays, a-t-elle été porteuse ?

Claire Angelini, artiste et cinéaste (ensba Paris / Sorbonne / HFF Munich), interroge le rapport de l?art à l?histoire comme inscription du politique, sous les espèces de la trace, la ruine, la réminiscence et de la survivance des images. Le cinéma comme outil critique sensible et comme dispositif visuel et sonore, lui permet de questionner l?histoire qui hante notre espace commun aujourd?hui et ce faisant, d?en interroger la représentation.

Marche / Aragon montre comment la guerre a traversé et influencé deux villages du sud de l?Europe, l?un en Italie méridionale, dans les Marches, l?autre en Espagne, dans la province de Huesca. Ortezzano a vécu la montée du fascisme dans les années 30. Belver au contraire, a tenté une expérience unique et singulière d?anarchisme au moment de la République espagnole. Formellement tout oppose les Marches à l?Aragon : d?un côté se développe un film sans paroles au fil d?un album communal, seul dépositaire d?une mémoire inavouable. De l?autre, un récit se déploie, au fil d?un témoignage incarné par la voix d?un survivant de la guerre d?Espagne. La musique aussi, devient, au cours du film un protagoniste essentiel de Marche /Aragon, chargée qu?elle est de sa propre mémoire politique.

1 woman/ 3 countries/ 3 wars / Following a female figure as she is revisiting the places of her childhood, this film summons up, through the devices it employs, the crossed categories of individual memory and history in a space which is itself composed of the accumulated layers of past and present. Set in France, Tunisia and Algeria, the film looks at how we are affected by history in the places where we grow up. A long journey of recollections and words set against the images and sounds of the landscapes. It is an examination of the relationship between subjective memory, territory and the consciousness of the adult.A political film in the deepest sense of the word.

Ce film, fait travailler les éléments d?une improbable rencontre, celle d?une « boat-people » qui a fui son pays, le Vietnam, pour aboutir en Allemagne et du lac de Starnberg nimbé du souvenir mythifié de Sissi et de Louis II de Bavière. Autour du corps présent-absent de la réfugiée ?celui aussi d?un souvenir qui se délite ? se déploie une narration fragmentaire et stratifiée. Quelle image peut saisir en effet la caméra aujourd?hui de cet itinéraire de peur inscrit à même le corps, déplacé dans le tracé paisible d?une excursion touristique « sans histoire » ? Qui parle, et de quoi dans ce jeu complexe des questions-réponses à trois voire quatre voix, et en trois langues (français, allemand, vietnamien) ? De l?impossible palimpseste, émergent des fragments d?histoire : celle de cette femme, celle de son pays déchiré, celle de son voyage en mer, et au-delà celle de la condition de réfugié dans le monde actuel. La disposition des voix, et les incertitudes de la traduction ouvrent sur un vide, délinéant le manque de l?exilée, l?indécision quant à l?identité de celle qui parle, indécision identitaire, devenue sa blessure invisible.

During a walk in three different places in Bavaria - first in an idyllic park in the heights of Munich, which is the hill of the Olympic park, then a residential ensemble at the shores of Starnberg Lake in Feldafing, and finally the Mühldorf forest, a village on the Austrian border - heavy with history from Second World War, tangible fragments come back to haunt the images of today under the form of documentary archives. The interpretation of very slow shots that allow for the materialization, the breathing, and the changing light of natural spaces is left up to the public's imagination. The film begins with the idea that our spaces of life and daily landscapes carry indelible traces of history. But here history must be seen as a subset of geology as witness of man's place and destiny in the world.

"Thank you for sending your very great film, Aeon -- it's really a great work, truly transporting, and a vision I can wish and hope that many will see, and hopefully to feel this truth of both our small place within as well as our ultimate connectedness with the vastness of being and space -- 'our connection to the stars' as Stan would have said." -- Marilyn Brakhage "In Aeon, Dominic Angerame draws parallels between the earthly and the heavenly, linking the San Francisco cityscape and city dwellers to outer space. Filmed during the Covid-19 lockdown, Aeon celebrates Angerame#s reunion with friends and responds to the new ways of interacting with the world on different levels. Using a meta-narrative and self-referential approach to storytelling, Angerame brings the (holy) spirit to life, filling the spaces he captures with energy, which is otherwise unattainable and invisible the naked eye, but significantly transforms our lives. Aeon is one of Angerame's major and most mature works to date, which demonstrates the potential of experimental filmmaking in superimposing images that are seemingly disparate, yet uncannily familiar." -- Kornelia Boczkowska, author of Lost Highways, Embodied Travels: The Road Movie in American Experimental Film and Video, https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0875-9209

Dominic Angerame's works search for unfamiliar views of seemingly familiar things: cities, landscapes, faces, and bodies. The filmmaker's desire to make everyday images "strange" at the editing table, to learn to see them fresh and to estrange them from our senses, makes his films seem-in all the different social realities they contain-always distanced as well, as if they led to another world beyond the concrete, beyond time and defined space. In Angerame's films, which pay homage to films from early cinema and the classic avant garde to American underground films of the 1960s and 70s and non-narrative films of the present day, an amazingly comprehensive history of the "visionary" moving image is always present. It may be that precisely his refusal to adopt a signature style has diminished the immediate influence of Angerame's films; however, Angerame's decision to work "universally," not to be swayed by considerations of the art market, and to experiment with very different styles increases the pedagogical worth of his films. It's not surprising to learn that Angerame, born in 1949, teaches at several American schools in addition to having served as the executive director of the American avant garde distribution center Canyon Cinema from 1980 to 2012. His films testify to an encyclopedic knowledge of film-and also his desire to satisfy, with his own audio-visual offerings, the very different desires of his audience.

"He began to recognize that motion pix could be used as a medium to reveal the supernatural and underworld. He found the calling for which he had been born. He found that film could summon up the un-born imagination...he had a glimpse of how to emerge as the artist he always felt was within him" - Stan Brakhage Revelations is a continuation of what I call my "City Symphony" series. This works includes footage that was shot from the late 90s to the present. My filmmaking is inspired by filmmakers such as Dziga Vertov, Joris Ivens, Walter Ruttman and Robert Fulton.

It may be that precisely his refusal to adopt a signature style has diminished the immediate influence of Angerame's films; however, Angerame's decision to work "universally," not to be swayed by considerations of the art market, and to experiment with very different styles increases the pedagogical worth of his films. It's not surprising to learn that Angerame, born in 1949, teaches at several American schools in addition to having served as the executive director of the American avant garde distribution center Canyon Cinema from 1980 to 2012. His films testify to an encyclopedic knowledge of film-and also his desire to satisfy, with his own audio-visual offerings, the very different desires of his audience.

?We don?t have time to get scared, everything happens in a few seconds. ?The sight lights up just in front of the windshield, everything is ready for the computer to do its work. ?It?s the computer that has the last word.??Paul Virilio About 2,000 troops from the US led military coalition were engaged in close in combat on March 4, 2002 with small pockets of suspected al Qaeda and Taliban fighter in the rugged terrain of north-eastern Afghanistan as part of an operation called Operation Acaconda.... The footage contained in this piece was from part of this mission. ?Other than appending a a title card and a quotation by media theorist Paul Virilio at the beginning, Angerame`s latest video work is a complete found-object: military footage of an offensive operation on a mosque in Afghanistan. It`s a cliché for me to point out that for the first few minutes of the running time, I honestly couldn`t tell if I was watching actual military surveillance imaging or a videogame, but the ineluctable appositeness of the cliché seems to be one of Angerame`s major points. After CNN and Baudrillard and, in fact, Virilio, we still have the same problem -- X-Box Warriors of eighteen and nineteen going off to execute our ordnance. Some viewers I spoke with were rankled by Angerame`s bald, untreated presentation of the material, feeling like not enough "art" had been performed. But this viewpoint overlooks context, the resistant act of dropping this horrendous material into the rarefied aesthetic domain of an experimental film screening. (As Americans, our tax dollars spent millions in the production of this lo-tech snuff film.) In the end, nothing else in the Views program jolted me so far out of my contemplative state of mind; sitting and watching the next film, as opposed to leading the entire audience out into the street for some uncivil disobedience, felt vaguely obscene. And yet . . . And yet . . . we know it?s never that simple.

Ostrannenie is a video-exploration of a territory and of the language belonging to it. It traces a history of imaginary lands from the times when the Earth rested on elephants’ backs to the current moment of Google Maps and glossy stock footage. The map of the world in the video becomes a field where the history of geographical discoveries is intertwined with the histories of the human imagination, with the camera’s eye and the gaps in language.

"Strings of Affection" shows the particular connection of a woman with her domestic space Using a ball of string, she begins weaving threads through all the rooms of the house, creating a web inside the apartment. Little by little a strange inner geometry takes shape, a geometry which is at once very liberating, but starts to be paradoxically totally constricting. The apartment becomes a mental space, a mirror place of the psyche of the character, " as if we could follow the thread of her thoughts ". The architecture appears as a place of mutation, at the same time very opened on the outside, while closing on itself as a trap. Taken in this net, the woman?s body is forced, whereas its spirit escapes and the gestures are liberated.

Emmanuelle Antille was born in 1972 in Lausanne, Switzerland. She studied at the Ecole Supérieure d`Art Visuel in Geneva, and at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. She makes films, photographs and installations, writes texts and scripts, is a singer and musician. These heterogeneous aspects of her artistic production give life to autonomous works or to interventions in which the fusion of these various elements animate installations where dream, illusion and reality merge and overlap. Her interest is concentrated on the analysis of domestic relations and behaviours, the dynamics established within groups, and behavioural that characterise the life of a clan. With actors in her films, she creates scenes in which human relations analysed within a ritual, such as a game, become exasperated into tortured confessions or mysterious silences. Her stories are a subtle and poetic reflection on questions relating to the double, to introspection, and to communication with others: ?All my work rotates around a certain distance from reality, the relationship with sound, the boundary between dream and reality, hallucination?. The language of video becomes a way to rewrite emotions, to capture life in its most intimate aspects, to translate dream images into reality. Antille has received several recognitions and awards including: three Swiss Art Awards, Kiefer-Hablitzel Prize, Review + film contest, Migros Culture, Swiss Studio in Berlin and in Couvent des Recollets in Paris. Her exhibitions include: Kunstverein in Frankfurt, The Renaissance Society in Chicago, CCA in Glasgow, Site Gallery in Sheffield, Toyko Wonder Site in Tokyo, De Appel in Amsterdam, Migros Museum in Zürich, Musée du Jeu de Paume in Paris. In 2003 she represented Switzerland in the 50th edition of the Venice Biennale.

Barricata est une vidéo en trois actes se jouant autour de quatre personnages féminins : la grand-mère, ses deux filles et sa petite fille. Axée sur le thème de l?abandon (de soi, des autres, de ses biens, de son corps ou de sa mémoire), cette vidéo présente les relations intimes entre les membres d?une même famille. Dans le premier acte, les quatre femmes, cloîtrées dans la cuisine, attendent et guettent l?arrivée de deux inconnus. Ceux-ci pénètrent dans la maison, l?inspectent, barricadent la pièce principale, puis repartent aussi soudainement qu?ils sont apparus. Dans le deuxième acte, les quatre femmes sortent de leur isolement et reprennent possession des lieux. Elles effectuent de petits rituels intimes et obsessionnels, ensemble ou séparément. Ces rituels leur permettent d?établir une tension avec leur environnement, de reprendre le contrôle ou de lâcher prise. Ainsi, ces femmes rejouent et réinventent les relations qui les unissent, jusqu?à l?hallucination parfois. Dans le troisième acte, les deux inconnus reviennent. Les femmes sont alors prêtes à les rencontrer, prêtes à leur livrer une part de leur histoire. Ils se retrouvent alors tous ensemble dans le salon barricadé.

Even If We Fall is a video film of 9`30 questioning the relationships inside a family and the role played by each of its members. In a silent house, a father, mother and daughter are gathered together, waiting very still and quiet in the living room. Suddenly the mother grabs the daughter?s hands and the three of them leave the room to isolate themselves in the parents? bedroom. There they will perform a very unique ritual: the daughter having decided to offer her hair to her mother. The film presents the strong interactions between the daughter and her two parents in parallel with the very special bond that ties the father and the mother, re-questioning the notion of love and sacrifice inside the family cell.

"A Place We Call Home" leads us to the heart of strong and particular relations that link two women. The setting, both urban and savage, physically invaded by the vegetation, absorbs and reflects their rituals.

Emmanuelle Antille was born in 1972 in Lausanne where she lives and works. She studied at the Geneva Graduate School of Visual Arts from 1991 to 1996, then, from 1997 to 1998, at the Rijksacademie in Amsterdam. She uses a language that is sometimes minimal, sometimes emphatic. She auscultates the inside and the outside and she looks from the inside and the outside. This discipline of systematic analysis enables everyone to in turn examine one's self. Her works have been presented notably during video festivals like the ones in Zurich, New York, Le Caire, Vilnius, and Salamanque. In 2005, she presented "Rollow" at the Locarno festival and has been awarded the young creator prize of the Vaudois Foundation for the promotion of artistic creation.
