Storm over London is a film that seemingly uses the tropes of narrative however the film hesitates to make a conclusion instead it take us into a journey of speculation.There is a storm brewing in London, there are riots in the streets. Who is that person laying on the bed? And what's all this about a fly. Storm over London is an enigmatic,surrealist detective story with a touch of Kafka.

Un homme emprisonné à tort s?apprête à être exécuté. À la dernière minute, il parvient à s'échapper. Il veut voir sa maison une dernière fois avant de mourir. Sur son chemin, l'homme, comme un animal sauvage, se cache, et fait de plus en plus corps avec la nature sauvage qui l'entoure. Ce nouveau court-métrage inquiétant de Julius Zizz trouve un équilibre entre beauté et menace. Il suggère qu'il peut y avoir de la grâce dans le fait d?être menacé, suivi et pourchassé.

Nadir takes place at Norra Grängesbergsgatan, a kilometer-long street just outside central Malmö. A place of sometimes conflicting cultural and political interests, which was once considered a “no-go zone” by the municipality, as well as cultural gentrification zone, can perhaps be described as an expressive and symphonic micro-city. Surrounded by several small-scale industries, established in the 1930s, there is a lingering scent from the nearby Pågen bread-factory. Here, a Baptist church gathers upstairs of an old production facility side by side with flowing neon from Arab furniture stores and carpet stores. In Nadir, the narratives surrounding the street are reformulated as “anti-narrative” through a series of sensorial sequences through and on the street.

Here the anecdote is reconstructed freely, over the course of a single Friday, shot solely during dawn, dusk and finally night.

Set in the millenary Chinese city of Suzhou —now a super modern city— a fragile reconstruction of optical reality fails to fully materialise. Two mysterious characters help the “package” (POV) to follow a linear trajectory of space time, nevertheless there will be several instances to escape the linear construct. Sounds of machine guns, sonic monsters and war explosions do not interrupt the peaceful flow of an evening walk.

Nous avons filmé sans interruption pendant presque deux heures la vie du voisinage, au cours de l'après-midi du 10 février 2006 pour être précis. Les voisins qui ont voulu participé nous ont invités chez eux, dans leurs maisons, leurs garages, au coeur de leurs occupations quotidiennes, et nous ont expliqué des choses de tous les jours dans lesquelles nous pouvions deviner le passé et le futur de la ville.

L'expérience de Claudio en tant que compositeur et son Doctorat en Esthétique l'ont directement amené à composer, créer et diriger un certain nombre de représentations théâtrales (Varios efectos del Amor; Telediario; Macbeth, sempre; Fragor, Taxi, Fonia, Trenes de Marzo, Renacimiento), qui présentent toutes une caractéristique commune: les nouvelles technologies sont mises au service de la parole et de l'expression. Toutes ces représentations ont été produites par Acteon et présentées au cours de festivals nationaux et internationaux. Son travail dans le domaine audiovisuel ainsi que sa recherche de nouvelles façons d'utiliser les moyens techniques disponibles ont amené Claudio a créer des installations audiovisuelles destinées à être exposées dans des centres artistiques, culturels et conceptuels: Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo (Séville), Centro de Cultura Contemporánea de Barcelona (Barcelone), Caixaforum (Barcelone), Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea (Saint-Jacques de Compostelle), Espai d?Art Contemporàni de Castelló (Castille), Le Cargo (Grenoble), La Casona (Panama), Lille 2004. Les matériaux produits pour ces projets ont été conçus en parallèle de réalisations de documentaires pour le cinéma et la télévision. En 2000, Claudio a écrit son premier scénario entier, grâce à une subvention du Ministère de la Culture ICAA. En 2004, il a réalisé et produit Beatriz/Barcelona et le documentaire L'Avenir et a commencé à recevoir des récompenses internationales (Leipzig, Mar de Plata (ChilIi), Tampere, Vannes...). En 2006 il a entièrement dirigé le film "A través del Carmel" (La Ville Mouvante), sélectionné pour le Sitges Film Festival de 2006 et présenté dans la catégorie Catalan Focus. En 2002, il a publié son premier livre "Horas de la Ciudad" ("Heures de la Ville", éditions Calima). Claudio est également Professeur Associé, rattaché à l'Institut Universitaire de l'Audiovisuel à l'Universitat Pompeu i Fabra de Barcelone. Ses activités théoriques incluent des conférences, des cours magistraux et des publications des cours qui touchent à des sujets tels que la nature de l'art, l'histoire des arts du spectacle et les moyens de communication associés.

Le Netherlands Media Art Institute (Het Nederlandse Instituut voor Mediakunst), Montevideo/Time Based Arts (Montevideo/TBA) s?est assigné pour mission de promouvoir le développement et la distribution des arts nouveaux ainsi que le développement de l?application des nouvelles technologies au domaine des arts visuels. En 1978, René Coelho, ancien de la télévision, ouvre sa maison du Singel, un canal d?Amsterdam, à l?art. Il la transforme en galerie, la galerie Montevideo. Dégoûté par son expérience télévisuelle, il cherche à "humaniser la technologie avec l?aide des artistes". En 1983, la petite galerie du Singel, spécialisée en art vidéo, deviendra, sous l?impulsion de l?Association des Artistes Vidéos, Montevideo/Time Based Arts. Aujourd?hui, Montevideo/TBA supporte la création artistique dans trois domaines différents, la présentation, la préservation et la conservation, et fournit des services aux artistes et aux institutions artistiques. Aujourd?hui, l?Institut organise, dans son propre espace d?exposition sur la Keizersgracht à Amsterdam, des expositions collectives ou personnelles, de longues durées, en coopération ou non avec d?autres institutions. En parallèle, Montevideo/TBA organise des expositions plus courtes, des symposiums, des projections et des performances ou des installations d?artistes et d?étudiants. Depuis sa fondation en 1978, l?Institut a accumulé une collection extensive d??uvres vidéo et multimédia. Une collection de plus de 1800 références, ?uvres d`artistes hollandais et internationaux, qui continue de croître. Une collection presque entièrement disponible pour des expositions et des festivals et que l?Institut préserve des atteintes du temps dans un centre dédié, crée en 1992. Mais, l?Institut est aussi un centre de formation et de recherche. Un centre où les artistes peuvent explorer les nouveaux médias et leurs applications à la pratique artistique. Un centre où les artistes peuvent se rencontrer et collaborer et où ils peuvent bénéficier de différents conseils et d?outils de post-production.

Theus Zwakhals s?occupe, avec Joke Ballintijn, de la distribution de la collection du Netherlands Media Art Institute.
