Vesna at Monument
Video | hdv | color | 3:46 | Canada, Serbia | 2016
In Vesna At the Monument (2016), a humble middle aged woman appears on the site of a dilapidated, in-the-middle-of-nowhere monument, erected likely in the time when she was youthful and at her most optimistic. The monument was commissioned in order to commemorate the heroic actions of common citizens in their struggle against fascism, and desire to promote and participate in a progressive, utopic state. She shuffles past the monument, and sits to smoke a cigarette. Off screen, a voice is heard, asking her questions such as what is the meaning of this place, this monument, this moment. She does not answer, as though she does not hear the question, even while acknowledging the camera, and the voice itself. It could, one supposes, be the voice of the cameraman or director, a voice in the subject’s own head, perhaps the voice of the monument itself, trying to ascertain the meaning of itself in this day and age. It gets no reply, and eventually (perhaps fed up with the question), she simply leaves, with the interlocutor left in his own uncertainty. The video seems to reject or deny a past, while expressing grave uncertainty to the future.
Born in Novi Sad (Serbia) and lives in Montréal (Canada) since 2005, Milutin Gubash has presented exhibitions in Québec, Canada, the United States, and Europe, including a solo show at Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (2007) and a ten year survey exhibition co-produced by six institutions across Canada (Rodman Hall Art Centre 2011, Carleton University Art Gallery 2012, Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery 2012, Southern Alberta Art Gallery 2012, Musée d’art de Joliette 2012 and Fonderie Darling 2013). He was the recipient of the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec studio residency in Paris for 2016. His practice encompasses photography, video, and performance, and regularly features the participation of his family and friends, who portray versions of themselves in Do-It-Yourself soap operas, historical rewrites and improv theatre pieces. Using simple means and often absurdist gestures, Gubash reconsiders assumptions about the narratives of our identities, histories and environments.

The Death of Peter Fechter
Création numérique | dv | color and b&w | 55:0 | United Kingdom | 2007
The video work The Death of Peter Fechter is documentation of a one-off live-performance; a re-enactment of the murder of Peter Fechter; an 18 yr old citizen of the GDR, shot and fatally wounded in an attempt to escape over the Berlin Wall on August 17th, 1962. An important moment in the history of the wall, Peter was not the first or last to die in his attempt to escape, but his story made the international news as he was fired upon and hit, falling back in to mans land where he lay for an hour, calling for help and slowly bleeding to death, whilst a crowd of West Berliners gathered against the wall pleading for the guards to help him and the guards on either side made no moves to help him. Commissioned by the ICA, London, as a live-performance, I recognised the possibility for the documentation to be something more than mere documentation; that it could be shot in such a way as to work as a film in its own right. Working closely with an independent director, a multi-angle, yet unobtrusive, shoot was devised to capture the power of the performance and allow the work to exist beyond that day.
S Mark Gubb (b.1974) currently lives and works in Nottingham, England. Mark works across a range of media including sculpture, video, sound, installation and performance. Recent projects/exhibitions include Out of Bounds: The 5 Codes Tours (a new commission for Cornerhouse, Manchester, as part of the launch of the Cultural Olympiad), Here Today, Gone Tomorrow, The City Gallery, Leicester and The Death of Peter Fechter, ICA, London.

Mariana
Experimental fiction | hdv | color | 64:0 | USA, Colombia | 2017
The Guajira is a borderland peninsula between Colombia and Venezuela of resolute natives as well as disinherited adventurers. Some there take advantage of the peripheral territory to smuggle through isolated ports and over rugged landscape. They write their rebellious proclamation in the sands of crisscrossing desert paths and their rusted motors accompany their solitary voices with an unorthodox music, animating their indiscipline and adhesion to pure movement.
Chris Gude (1985, New York) studied geography and anthropology at Middlebury College. His first film, MAMBO COOL (2013), exhibited at FIDMarseille, Viennale, Punto de Vista, Mar del Plata, Cartagena, among others. His second film, MARIANA (2017), also premiered at FIDMarseille and won Best Director at the Ourense International Film Festival.

LA FABRIL - work in progress
Experimental doc. | hdv | color | 17:40 | Argentina, Italy | 2012
The images of a virgin Argentina, out from a private photographic archive, become present landscape: the river, the forest, the road: everything seems unchanged... except a ruined cotton factory, ghost of the collapse of a model of development imported from Europe, which is now a few teenager`s playground.

Hombre: a veces por la noche pierdo mi mente
Video | hdv | color | 11:26 | Chile | 2012
Man: Sometimes in the night I lose my mind (2011) This work was part of the project ?Between Iloca and Dichato.? It tried to capture, by means of a trip, the marginal and unmediated consequences of the Chilean Tsunami, one year later. It´s a choral story of the experience from interviews with people who witnessed the wave. The video shows ideas, abstractions and derivations of what happened that night, putting the emphasis on the paradoxical perception of the people; between humor and tragedy. A fragmented narrative emerges naturally from the memory pieces of the people.

Paisaje: Mis pies en la noche, el mar en mis pies.

Landscape: My feet at night, the sea on my feet (2012) This work was born as a late work from the project ?Between Iloca and Dichato? which tried to capture, by means of a trip, the marginal and unmediated consequences of the Chilean Tsunami, one year later. The space reveals the weight of time, where in the year since the Tsunami things haven´t changed radically. Compared with ?Man?, this video focuses on the landscape using steady and long shots as a strategy to capture those ?after? spaces. The silence of the field, contrasted with the government speech; the Sea goes up and down, the man is just a viewer, or another piece from the picture.

Roma Talismano, seventh instalment of the ‘Superfictional World Atlas’, explores Rome as the moral and aesthetic talisman of the West. To the sound of opera hymns and arias, the allegorical animals the she-wolf, the eagle and the lamb narrate the endless recycling of Roman aesthetics to create an artificial and pale classical universality, from the Renaissance to fascism to the present day: Roma Talismano, eternal volcano of visual and spiritual bleach.

Corta
Experimental doc. | 16mm | color | 69:0 | Colombia, Argentina | 2012
Through the means of a still fixed camera and the rhythmic strengtht granted by on-camera editing; Corta is a film centered upon the hypnotic extenuation generated by the body movements of sugar cane cutters. A contemplation of the frenziness and softness of the performatic gestures of hand labour while the surrounding plantations act as an omnipresent backdrop as the canes disappear. Corta is a pure cinematic experience about the natural and everyday ritual of a timeless world.

untitled - rhetoric that preaches revolution
Experimental doc. | hdv | color and b&w | 23:19 | Haiti, USA | 2008
Dans Untitled (Rhetoric that Preaches Revolution), je voulais faire une pièce qui se concentrerait sur la voix d’un groupe d’artistes et qui serait éclairée par les fondements structurels de leurs œuvres. L’accent est mis en partie sur ce qu’ils voudraient dire à la lumière des évènements mondiaux et régionaux. La pièce se base sur des enregistrements de journaux télévisés et des images assemblées des unes de la presse écrite relatant l’actualité, principalement de 1965 à 1968, comme Martin Luther King marchant vers Selma, Malcolm X en train de parler, des membres du Black Panther Party en confrontation avec les médias et la police, le soulèvement du Watts, des manifestants étudiants avec des revendications et des ouvriers en contestation. Lire ces images, d’un point de vue sympathisant, et les transformer en œuvres constituaient mon objectif général.

Alexis Guillier
Purgatoire (Cinema that kills)
Experimental doc. | digital | color and b&w | 61:44 | France, Lebanon | 2023
Alexis Guillier’s film looks at the deadly fire that broke out at the Beirut nightclub "Purgatoire" on the set of the 1969 Lebanese movie "Kolouna Feda'iyoun" ("We are all fedayeen") by Gary Garabedian, a take on Palestinian resistance at the time. Guillier’s project delves into the complexity of the film’s context, the precariousness of Lebanese cinema, and the investigation of the accident. The narrative of the film is built through the stories of the main protagonists: Purgatoire’s owner Sami Ghosn, TV star and Gary Garabedian's good friend Salah Tizani (aka Abu Salim), actor Samir Abu Saeed, the last living actor to have appeared in the film and who was at Purgatoire the night of the accident, actor Samir Chamas, who played in the film and who arrived on the scene just after the accident, Mirvat Kousa, sister of the actress Mona Slim, who was seriously injured in the accident, Hussein Al Sayyed, special effects expert and Christiane Mallouk, sister of the extra Gaby Mallouk who died in the accident. "Purgatoire" is part of the larger project "La réalité éclatée / A many splattered thing, conceived as an investigative history of cinema through set accidents that have caused deaths and severe injuries. The whole project is interested in the tensions between production and representation, material reality and image carried on the screen. In this respect, the exploration of the accident in "Purgatoire" is marked by these questions and inhabited by the revealing power of the accident. The film also testifies to the evolution of Alexis Guillier's image work, which is illustrated here through the increased exploration of visual associations, layered editing and opacity, which are also reflexive tools on the context, the story, and the narrative of the accident, and which nourish a play with certain formal codes of documentary.
Alexis Guillier (France, 1982) dedicates himself to films, performances, texts or installations, which all are narratives, stem from investigations (documentary and on the ground) in collective and individual stories. Leading him from forgeries to defacement and disappearance of artworks, from a movie set accident to ghost ships, or to the exploration of the giant statue Notre-Dame de France, his forms gather many different documents, which coexist in cultural history but rarely meet. His areas of investigation push him to observe the circulation of images and cultural productions, echoes and recurrences, the formation of imaginaries, interactions between personal actions and national stories, on an aesthetic as well as anthropological level. The telling of these stories questions itself, always on an uncertain line, between detached subjectivity and documentary lyricism, thus contributing to the indeterminacy of treated objects. His research is made of analogies, association of ideas, also deals with paranoia as method. More recently, he focuses on putting his projects in perspective with "cases", considering that the accident or the disaster, and the violence that comes with it, insistently recur. Investigation and editing processes also reflect a similar connection with the notion of body, as a way of putting pieces cut in different stories or sources together.

Soap
Fiction | 4k | color | 53:50 | Brazil, Germany | 2020
SOAP is a film in four episodes in which a group of isolated, left-winger urbanites imagine how to create a telenovela, or soap, to infiltrate the conspiratorial far right in Bolsonaro’s Brazil. Can a coalition of activists, artists and writers avoid tripping over their own assumptions and privileges to form something persuasive? Can they join forces to beat a populist system at their own game? SOAP is a collaboration between Tamar Guimarães, Luisa Cavanagh and Rusi Millán Pastori and was filmed in Berlin and São Paulo during the first covid19 lockdown in 2020.

Soap: Epidode 5 - Moses And Monotheism
Video | hdv | color | 27:0 | United Kingdom, Brazil | 2021
SOAP, 2020-ongoing, imagines what it would take to create a soap opera with which to infiltrate, and influence, the conspiratorial far right in Bolsonaro’s Brazil. A group of idealistic left-wing intellectuals join forces to play a populist system at its own game. Through the initial five episodes, the heroes struggle to chart a course through their own ideas and ideologies by way of quotidian dramas and veiled intrigues. But how can this small group of artists, writers and activists overcome the struggle of principles, their internal bickering and the absurdities of their own privilege to create something that resonates and has real impact with their target audience? IN Episode 5, ‘MOSES AND MONOTHEISM’, concepts clash ferociously, hand puppets scream and pray, renowned Genocide Scholars are accosted and conspiracies bleed across borders. Meanwhile, as the left-wing infiltrators struggle to make sense of their own intentions, entertaining the idea of creating a YouTube series aimed at the evangelic Brazilians, the Querdenkers (a movement that fuses protesters against Covid measures with the far-right scene thriving on a sense of crisis and apocalypse) move through plague-time Berlin like a danse macabre.

Soap: Episode Six and a Half: Talking Soap
Fiction | 0 | color | 23:55 | Brazil | 2023
SOAP is a film in seven episodes following the infiltration attempts of a cluster of left-wing people in right-wing social networks. The tactic chosen by the group is the creation of a YouTube channel aimed at teenagers employing the apparently conservative language of religious devotion and self help through prayer. SOAP asks questions such as can a coalition of artists, writers and activists avoid tripping over their own assumptions and privileges to form something persuasive? Is the white left dead? Or rather, have the forms of appeal and address relied upon by the intellectual Lefts ceased to be effective? Is there a way out of the internal bickering and accusations - that continue to hamper political movements? In episode 'six and a half', Camila narrates the previous episodes, reflecting on the project's aims and fractures from the perspective of a post election moment in which the Left was re-elected to the presidency in Brazil.
