Challenging traditional documentary practices with experimental approaches to editing and sound, GIVE explores Roland Gordon’s motivations to create a monumental visual archive displaying centuries of black agency and achievements, in the United States and beyond. Roland’s collage, "The Cloud of Witnesses", is comprised of thousands of photographic portraits,newspapers, and magazines cutouts, presenting an alternative visual history to empower the black community. The film explores collective representations of history, memory, and culture; where pasts, presents, and futures are modeled by the blending of imagination, facts, and love.

What can a portrait photograph reveal about a political system? What can a picture taken 35 years ago tell us about our contemporary society? Based on photographs taken on the arrest of political prisoners during the Portuguese dictatorship (1926-1974), this documentary aims to convey the mechanisms by which a dictatorial regime sought to sustain its existence throughout 48 years.

How many members of a family get dragged into the web of the political police on the arrest of a single political prisoner? How do you give form to someone who disappeared without having had a historical existence? Taking as its starting point the photographs taken by the Portuguese political police (1926-1974), Obscure Light seeks to reveal how an authoritarian system operates within the family intimacy, simultaneously revealing areas of repression which mould the present

Within one image, another one is always hiding. Wordless and using only archive footage, "Still Life" aims to rediscover and delve into the opacity of images (news, war footage, propaganda documentaries, photos of political prisoners and never seen before rushes) made during the 48 years (1926-1974) of Portuguese dictatorship in order to foster new interpretations.

“Ridder Thirst” explores the restorative agency and limits of queer youth, facing white supremacist denialism with an inventory of its continued effects. De Swardt fantasises the First River, a primary marker of settler colonial inhabitation in South Africa, into disappearance, perceiving that “if the ocean is the space of coloniality, the river is that of settlement”. The work takes the span of the river as witness of extreme socio-political discrepancies: snaking from the mouth of the river at Macassar Beach - a former separate amenity for brown people - to Stellenbosch, the affluent university town central to the formulation of apartheid. Photographs of Afrikaner student couples captured at the river in the sixties and seventies by Alice Mertens, a Namibian-German ethnographic photographer who was the first tertiary tutor of the lens in South Africa, are reworked and called into question through a series of anti-monumental gestures, motion-tracked data on spatial and gender traumas, and dense voice-over narration that `unwrites` place. Here the vagaries of the archival gaze is met with the insatiability of eroticism as De Swardt occupies and inverts the “straight” canons of documentary photography and essay film, asking how we can unlearn historic images that seek to define us.

If the river’s mouth could speak, what would it say? Enacting the possibility of river mouths as storytellers and historiographers, Kammakamma is the opening episode of the second work in a moving-image trilogy exploring the Eerste River in South Africa as witness and carrier of submerged narratives. Its title evokes slippages between the Khoekhoe terms for water (//amma) and similitude (khama), with 'kamma' absorbed into Afrikaans as 'make believe.' Through three interconnected chronicles by Abri de Swardt, poet Ronelda S. Kamfer, and historian Saarah Jappie, the river becomes a saturation point for understanding climate and catastrophe. In this episode, De Swardt probes a founding myth of Afrikanerdom through Hendrik Biebouw, a teenage idler who in 1707 attacked a Dutch East India Company watermill at the river, drunkenly declaring himself an “Africaander” – then a term reserved for enslaved, manumitted, or indigenous peoples. Biebouw’s declaration is inextricable from the river where it was spoken, from wine as settler-colonial agent, and from the instability of language itself. Recast in purgatory, he sifts sand from sandbags mined around the river mouth back into the blocked confluence of the Eerste and Plankenbrug Rivers, his delirious oratory jumbling Afrikaans, Dutch, German, and Malagasy. Interludes filmed after flooding show the river as both wild and engineered, while tableaux drawn from swimming and life-saving manuals foreground burden and suffocation. Through double synchronisation De Swardt frames perception itself as intoxicating disorientation.

Abri de Swardt (b. 1988, Johannesburg) is an artist based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Working across video, photography, sculpture, and performance, De Swardt’s practice challenges the ongoing effects of settler-colonial whiteness and masculinity in Southern Africa, and perceptions of queerness as ‘unnatural’ and ‘unAfrican’, through joining historiography with fiction, auto-ethnography, ecology, desire, and the fantastical. De Swardt’s work has been exhibited, performed, and screened at the Norval Foundation, Cape Town; Kunstverein Braunschweig; Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art, London; Rupert Museum, Stellenbosch; National Gallery of Art, Vilnius; Institute of Contemporary Arts, London; and The Centre for the Less Good Idea, Johannesburg, amongst others. Solo exhibitions include POOL x Field Station, Cape Town (2024); POOL, Johannesburg (2018); MOT International Projects, London (2013); and blank projects, Cape Town (2011). De Swardt has undertaken residencies at Rupert, Vilnius; Hordaland Kunstsenter, Bergen; and the Nirox Foundation, Cradle of Humankind. In 2022, he was awarded a Social Impact Arts Prize and nominated for the Foam Paul Huf Award. He holds an MFA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths, University of London, and is currently a 2025–2026 artistic fellow at Braunschweig Projects, Hochschule für Bildende Künste Braunschweig.

The last days of a swimming pool, just before the demolition. Regular visitors are isolated by mysterious encounters, nowhere to be seen in the film. We see the decline of a social meeting place unfold in sequential patterns. Without dramatic event, no music, no dialogue, this film is in relation with the `minimal` art cinema. ... A man walks through the hallways past lockers and cubicles. A boy plays in one of the lockers. A girl walks into a dressing room, opens the door, but does not enter. A boy walks past the grandstand where a young woman stares into the water. A woman swims her baby to the edge of the pool. The building is filled with sounds: water, machinery, leaking outside noise like the sound of emptiness. And old man steps off the high dive ... We come to know anything about the people we `follow` or meet. Everyone seems calm and happened to come by. It derives the film its quality as stylized documentary observation or film essay. Yet there is turmoil and tangible threat.

Today, her work is shown at international exhibitions, her movies shown at international film festivals worldwide. Bea de Visser manages to present the independent production studio Anotherfilm. In the recent past Anotherfilm has become an initiative that participates in hard to realize projects of a small group of artists and filmmakers. Since 2010 Bea de Visser works as guest advisor at Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunst in Amsterdam. She is art consultant of the Collection Lievensberg in Bergen op Zoom. Occasionally she gives workshops and lectures at home and abroad in various disciplines such as film, scenario, drama, visual arts and theater design.

Besides she made music videos, films for theatre design and wrote scenarios for feature film projects.

In one long shot this adaptation of La Mamma Fricchettona, a monologue by Nobel Prize winner Dario Fo, shows Viviane De Muynck in a humorous elucidation of a woman? s odyssey from doting motherhood to a state of independence whilst addressing an invisible and anonymous man. In an ambiance of a warehouse filled with white sacks the protagonist vociferously relates her non-existent relationship to husband and child and her escape to the alternative underground of squatters and punks, who are more of a family to her than her own brood.

She starts her career as a performance artist; beginning the 1980ies she performs on the podia of the trendy club circuit and the alternative art spaces with sound work, live installations and `noise` performances. Afterwards she returns to painting and works for two years at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunst in Amsterdam (1993-1995). As from that time film is her medium. The work that she develops since then is shown worldwide in museums and art spaces, the theatre, the public space and especially the cinema. Her short films are: SSST?, Roses and Fall, Just a Minute Yoko, The Second Memory, The Barren Land, Another Another and A Breath Hush. `Cold` is her first feature film (in production 2009).

Look into the eyes of a horse and know that you are looking at an intelligent and sensitive animal. If a horse is an animal, what are we? We experience a trailer ride on the highway and wake up from anesthesia in a veterinary clinic. ‘No horse on Mars’ is a film, documentary in its research that plays with fictional elements. The horse’s POV is the most effective element of the film. The voice over tells the story of the galloping mind that resides in all domesticated horses and questions the horse-human positioning. The human is introduced as a screen viewer who follows the horse, wants to measure her, record her and knows her as an object. Ultimately, from the human perspective, there seems to be a glimmer of recognition in the film for the individuality of the horse.

Bea de Visser is known for her film art, installation work and sound performances. Her work can best be described as a digital media-based practice -from the perspective of a painter and storyteller who sees the world through different lenses. AnimaIs are a recurring motif in her work. Her latest works focus on non-anthropocentric storytelling. She mixes fiction with the everyday and emphasizes structures of power, dominance and control. Her work seduces the viewer through a rich audiovisual language, which is poetic in nature and told in an alternative narrative form. Bea de Visser attended the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam (1993-1995). Prior to she pursues her studies painting with a study electro acoustic sound. She initially began her career as a sound and performance artist in the trendy club scene and artist’s spaces, early 1980-ies. With her installation work, she was asked for international exhibitions in museums, art spaces, and galleries, including MoMA New York, National Museum Prague, Madrid, Pittsburgh, and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. Her films are screened at international film festivals, museums and gallery’s worldwide. Bea de Visser leads to date the independent studio Anotherfilm that nowadays works as a platform for scenario and film development. Bea de Visser is a lecturer and researcher at the University of the Arts Utrecht at the departments Audio Visual Media and Writing for Performance. She is a buddy for Master students of the department MA Scenography. She works as an art consultant for the corporate art collection of the Bravis hospital, NL.

A horse is placed in an enclosed space on an aqua trainer treadmill, doubly enclosed by only the sound of splashing water. We hear much more than we see due to the recorded frequencies and the ambient range of the horse's hearing. Through pitch compression, specialized recording equipment and sound recordings far from the set, the horse's auditory experience has been made audible to humans. Its result is an acoustic representation of the animal's subjective perspective. Through the horse's sonic filter, we hear a different world, yet equally real, than the one we see on screen. While we watch with our human gaze, we hear the horse's complex sonic reality.

The projects tries to construct a visual metaphor in order to rethink the concept of conflict that lies beneath every human form of relation, and also to study violence as an organized mass media spectacle in contemporary society. We have recently observed the rapid growing of contact sports and all kind of brutal martial arts, from which one stands out above all, the so called Extreme Fighting, in which two contestants fight with almost no limits in the ring, using a mixture of all martial art disciplines. The work tries to investigate in the relation between the mechanisms of knowledge transmission both in the martial arts world and in University, relating the competitivity that is taught daily to the art of killing what is different form you?

Guzmán de Yarza Blache. Zaragoza, Spain. 1976 Architect by Universidad de Navarra. Spain After working at Andres Perea Office of Architecture in Madrid, founds J1 Architects in 2002, a Madrid based office of architecture that currently projects and directs works in several parts of Spain. He develops simultaneously a career as a video artist in a disciplinary mixture that in his own words enriches both practises and allows an exchange of sensitivity that eventually aims to somehow illuminate our perception of human condition. His interests as an artist are basically related to the act of portraying and to the description of contemporary society, for what he performs public art pieces and documental like productions that pose questions on a range of things that vary from the very intimate scale to that one national or transnational, with constant references to architecture and urbanism and the way they both dramatically affect our lives.

Selection of portraits taken late at night in different clubs and after hours in major Russian siberian cities in the summer of 2006. A collective portrait of the first generation of Russians born free that have learned amazingly fast those western rituals of leisure and hedonism through global television networks and that, supported by extremely flexible opening times, are currently developing a sensuality and a joie de vivre that somehow tries to compensate all that stolen time to previous generations. The project is indeed a documentary approach to three big industrial Russian cities, located within the Trans Siberian Route, Yekaterimburg, Novosibirsk and Irtkusk, where more than four hundred portraits where taken during a five week trip, from which around sixty have been chosen with the intention of achieving some knowledge about a generation of Russians whose life conditions have changed dramatically compared to those from their parents. The portraits are presented in a diptic with pictures of buildings belonging the cities where these main characters live, creating a catalogue of both soviet architecture and of the new mall-like constructions and ? western ? looking architectures. The project not only intends to investigate on how much of architectonical can lie in a face or how much of anthropomorphic can there be in a building, but also points out one of the main aspects of contemporary society which is the assumption of global trends by younger generations, always related to leisure time and hedonism, that are beginning to define a social battle field in which the new revolutionary attitude is to see how hard you can party and how little you can sleep?

These short animation sequences replay jingles of international production companies. Presented as a loop, the work creates a never ending prologue. By accumulation, the abstract logos refer to the history of the industry of cinema. “Midnight movie” evokes the commodification of these films produced and broadcasted in masses, while referring to “Cinéma de minuit”, a French television (1976-2018) program devoted to cinema. By suggesting these trademarks which are familiar to us, “Midnight movie” emphasises that these short sequences already constitute complex narratives. These short films are designed and produced by filmmakers. By shifting the attention to these jingles, "Midnight movie" attempts to question what we no longer see, and yet is an integral part of film production, and questions us on the notion of the author with a nod to the figure of the "orchestra man".

Arthur Debert *1990 in Paris, lives and works in Paris and Berlin. He grew up in Nancy in the Northeast of France. His passion for animation led him to cinema studies before entering Ecole Supérieure d'Art de Lorraine - Epinal. He pursued a Master degree in 2013 in E.S.A.L - Metz and began to work for artists and institutions. In 2014, he lived in Shanghai for one year, part-taking in the postgraduate program Ecole Offshore with E.N.S.A.D - Nancy. The program focuses on the influences of globalisation on the artistic ecosystems and the compatibility of art practices and society. In 2016 he moved to Berlin where he developed projects in the field of video and new media. In his artistic practice, he values ??collective formats and the principles of direct exchange. At the heart of his installations, videos and editions is the question of the transmission and survival of knowledge, which is at the same time subjective, anecdotal and memorable.

In a wooden amphitheatre built in 1933 for the study of animals and plants, a group of ancient tools attend a lecture. The talk seems to be about animals and their movements, but the tools gradually come to understand that it’s about the living beings that have given them their names and sometimes even their shapes.

Born in Paris in 1990, Arthur Debert lives and works between Nancy and Berlin. Arthur Debert’s protean practice is rooted in collective work and exchange. Anchored in a contextual approach, his work takes shape through travel, encounters and multiple collaborations. Central to these exchanges is the question of the transmission and survival of knowledge. Objects encountered in the field are seen as both witnesses and bearers of epistemological narratives to be deciphered. To reveal the different cultural layers sedimented within them, the artist disrupts their temporal linearity through shifting spatial settings and collective activations. Installations, videos and editions then fix the ephemeral, indeterminate state of the resulting lived experiences. Arthur Debert is a graduate of the École de l’Image in Épinal (2011), the École Supérieure d’Art de Lorraine in Metz (2013) and participated in the École Offshore in Shanghai (2014-2015), a research program of the École Nationale Supérieure d’Art et de Design in Nancy. His work has been shown at Centre Dürrenmatt Neuchâtel (2025), Triennale de la Jeune Création (Luxembourg, 2013 and 2021), Koraï (Cyprus, 2023), Ann Arbor Film Festival (Michigan, 2022), Berlin Art Prize (2018) and Berlin Independent Film Festival (2023).

« Tout a tendance à dériver avec le temps et perd de sa précision de façon périodique. Un ajustement assure que la précision reste au niveau requis. » Comme une invocation, une nécessité de calibration du paysage qui perdrait petit à petit sa condition naturelle, le film projette une nature mouvante, en constante modification et réajustement. Les niveaux de vents, hauteurs de neiges, les compositions physiques, géologiques, morphologiques et temporelles s’étalonnent lentement, la montagne s’équilibre. Dans la continuité de « Volva », film tourné en 2016 à l’observatoire astronomique du Pic du Midi, « Calibration » est une expérience physique de la nature, d’un temps vécu, en plein hiver, isolé dans un refuge de haute montagne durant trois semaines, au contact des aléas du vent, de la neige, des lumières et du temps.

Architecte de formation il collabore dans diverses agences avant de se consacrer exclusivement à sa pratique artistique. En 2006 il est lauréat de la bourse de la Fondation EDF pour les jeunes architectes. Il réalise le projet photographique Landscape scale sur les barrages des Pyrénées qui marquera la direction de ses futurs projets. Il centre ses recherches sur les relations qui se tissent entre l’architecture et le paysage, entre l’homme et la nature. Ses recherches tentent de construire la part impalpable de notre relation au naturel. Ses installations se développent entre photographies, vidéos et volumes construits. En 2016 il réalise son premier film, Volva à l’observatoire astronomique du Pic du Midi. Durant 3 semaines passées à 2871m, il capte inlassablement les traces du temps imprimés dans les expériences scientifiques, l’architecture du lieu et le paysage environnant. Nominé dans divers festivals, Volva est lauréat du prix LOOP Discover à Barcelone. Il intègre la collection du MACBA et du FRAC Normandie Caen. Il a été résident de la Casa de Velázquez et de l’Institut français. Ses travaux sont exposés en Europe, aux Etats-Unis et intègrent diverses collections publiques, FRAC, musées et Fondations. Il vit et travaille à Argut-Dessus, dans les Pyrénées.

Volva est le nom que Johannes Kepler a donné à la Terre, vue de l’espace, dans son texte « Somnium » considéré comme le premier ouvrage de science-fiction . Les observatoires étudient un passé lointain, suspendus dans un temps indéterminé, sans à peine faire attention à leur entourage. Centré sur l’observatoire du Pic du Midi, tourné en 16mm, Volva réfléchit aux rapports espace-temps qui s’établissent entre architecture, science et paysage. Suivant une chronologie solaire, les machines filmées tentent de capter un environnement proche ainsi qu’une série d’ondes semblant provenir des montagnes. L’absence de forme humaine laisse penser à un lieu contrôlé artificiellement. Les plans, entre intérieurs et extérieurs, conduisent le lieux à se confronter à un espace-temps parallèle d’où il semblerait provenir. Un nouveau territoire apparait alors entre l’architecture et le paysage qui l’entoure. Le film est construit dans le possible mouvement de cet espace qui se déplacerait dans divers temps à la fois, passé - présent - futur, et divers lieu, hors et sur Terre. En associant des représentations du réel, Volva vient explorer le rôle de l’image dans l«Transformant la recherche en une exploration du territoire à la première personne, Édouard Decam bâtit une méthodologie du vécu (…) le voyage est lié à un enracinement transitoire dans ces lieux où l’architecture est la partie essentielle d’un environnement qui ne peut être compris sans elle et où l’on a besoin du temps nécessaire pour comprendre l’espace.» Sonia Fernández Pan Édouard Decam est architecte de formation.

Water like crystals, spirited ruminants and haunted lakes. A meal is prepared, animals graze, wind moves through potato flowers. Land, lore and history conflate, confuse and constellate. Meanwhile: musicians are in the street, ancient objects are unearthed and small plans are made.

Bolivian filmmaker living in La Paz. MFA graduated in Cinematic Arts program at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. Working in 16mm format, I’m exploring the spectral presence of places, objects, and matter, intertwining them with microhistories revealed through intimate interactions and relationships with the people who participate in my films.

A journey into the underworld begins in our own entrails, which are formed by the flesh we consume, and the crumb balls softened and shaped by the saliva of mothers. This film explores the unfolding of time, from the intimate rhythm of digestion to the vast expanse of deep time—stalagmites forming over millennia, fossilized dinosaur tracks, and the echoes of primal expressions, akin to growling. Inspired by the Puro Andar chapter of Gamaliel Churata’s El Pez de Oro, where he says that "we all carry the dead alive; that the dead live”.

Bolivia, 1993. She studied anthropology at UCB (Bolivia) and completed an MFA in Film at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee on a scholarship. Currently, she delves into the spectral essence of places, objects and matter through intimate interactions and meticulous observation. She engages in this process by both revealing and concealing her presence, investigating the interstitial spaces where mediation and relationships unfold.
