About this event
Fragments on the Flow - Kaz Mose - Mockumentary - Belgium - 15' - VO EN/FR/NL/GER ST FRFragments on The Flow is a movie that incorporates its name in its structure: a collection of thoughts and anecdotes assembled in through a back and forth, an interconnection that ties them up together. The common basis to those thoughts and experiences comes from the same background: Brussels. It can be seen as an attempt to show how this city can be perceived. Whether by the people passing through it or iconic places known among the people living here. As a city embodying a panel of emotion, this movie makes us laugh, wonder, but also gives us time to authorize ourselves to an errancy similar to the one shown. The Peach Heist - Sara Hamedi (Zondra Sam) - Animation/Fiction - Belgium - 6' – VO Farsi ST FR/NL/ENEN/Two children who play in the same playground every day dream of having a peach tree. After discovering a walled garden on a mountain, with a fabulous tree guarded by a demon, they team up with a clever crow named Zag to plan a daring heist. A short film about friendship, small rebellions, and hope. FR/Deux enfants qui jouent chaque jour dans la même aire de jeux rêvent d’avoir un pêcher. Après avoir découvert un jardin clos sur une montagne, où un arbre fabuleux est gardé par un démon, ils s’associent à un corbeau malin nommé Zag pour organiser un casse audacieux. Un court-métrage sur l’amitié, les petites rebellions et l’espoir. NL/Twee kinderen die elke dag in dezelfde speeltuin spelen, dromen van een perzikboom. Nadat ze een ommuurde tuin op een berg hebben ontdekt, met een prachtige boom bewaakt door een demon, bundelen ze hun krachten met een slimme kraai genaamd Zag om een gewaagde overval te plannen. Een kortfilm over vriendschap, kleine rebellies en hoop. The Wind Opened My Window And Blew Me Into The Street - Nebila Oguz - Animation/Fiction - Belgium - 4'15 - NDDoes pleasure start on a sunny day? Opening curtains from our windows, feeling the sun on our skin. Watching oustide and being possibly watched by others. 70’s erotic cinema and peep shows inspiration takes all its meaning through the inherent voyeurism of living in a city surrounded by other living bodies. In this short animation movie, the comic tone relates to the sensibility of the mediums used: from modelling clay to drawings, we balance between a home, a place of intimacy, to an outside full of various characters. The shimmery colors give a contrast to the figures of grey cities full of masses instead of individuals. From the start of the movie to the end, we follow a woman during one of her summer day: a fiery day as a lurking woman free to act on her feelings. « It's about summer in the city, long days and summer loves that sometimes only last as long as the good weather. Hercule et le Treizieme Travail - Allergène - Fiction/expérimental - Belgique - 5' - NDHercule et le Treizieme Travail takes its roots from the myth of Hercules. It is a contemporary fable where the contemplative shots create a tense atmosphere. Postures of domination between the two characters embody a thrilling climate, keeping us fluctuating between serenity and tension. Here the question is less what is happening through the storytelling and more through the effort of the filming process itself. Static shots compose this movie through a simple aesthetic contrasting with the clutter filling the spaces: whether it is flowers in the garden or trash in the living room. This movie, nearly silent, explores mourning through abandonment: what to keep, what is left, and what remains when someone disappearsHow Do I Get To Carnegie Hall? - Sid Dankers - Fiction/Experimental/Video art – Belgium – 12’ – VO EN ST ENEN/An essential difference that distinguishes Purgatory from other unearthly places, such as heaven and hell, is that it is not an end point. Purgatory is like a passage, though it has no course. People find themselves in a state of repetition in which a permanent choice is always postponed. It doesn’t hurt here in purgatory, but it gives no real pleasure either. For most of the time, the echoing is just a bit annoying. NL/Een essentieel verschil dat het vagevuur onderscheidt van andere bovenaardse plaatsen, zoals hemel en hel, is dat het geen eindpunt is. Het vagevuur is een doorgang, al heeft het geen verloop. Mensen bevinden zich er in een toestand van herhaling waarin een definitieve keuze steeds wordt uitgesteld. Het doet hier in het vagevuur geen pijn, maar het schenkt ook geen werkelijk genoegen. Meestal is het voortdurende weergalmen slechts een beetje irritant.
