A Long and Winding Road

Videos and films about traveling, moving, unknown places and a view of the outside world as seen from a car window. Lean back and let yourself be carried down windy roads, towards exotic destinations. Yet no matter how adventurous and attractive travel may seem, unexpected things can happen on the way, sometimes before you’ve even left. Here is a program that addresses the longing to leave everything behind and look for adventure, yet also the familiar fears of the unknown and the difficulties of travel itself.

BACKSPACE

About collective and personal memory and the phenomena of time. In this block of videos, ingenious attempts are made (sometimes against better judgement) to bring time to a standstill, turn it backwards, or otherwise manipulate it. Making use of found footage, artists make an appeal to collective memory. Other works address the more formal qualities of memory, for example in a hypnotic variant of the memory game. And sometimes melancholy and anguish set the tone, for example when red chewing gum can invoke lost love.

CLASH OR JAM

Music videos and videos about music: a varied compilation of short productions in which rock music and the interaction between sound and image are the focal points, from likeable do-it-yourself products to complex, processed computer video. Some works are about the pure relationship between music and image, in which each strengthens and supplements the other. Other videos are short statements that comment upon lyrics, certain lifestyles and childhood memories.

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS 

Analogous to what is happening within all the disciplines, the practitioners of the seventh art enjoy referring and reacting to film history. This often leads to odes to idolised cineastes or the expression of a personal vision on our cinematic legacy. Sometimes the result is fun without pretentions in the intentionally clumsy remake of a hit movie. Alongside the actress who does her best to give an imperfect imitation of Robert De Niro is the man who, in spite of himself, succeeds in truly becoming Robert Vaughn. And in contrast to the films that announce themselves with so much bravura without ever wanting to get off the ground, there are the found films which disappear due to treatment by their new owners.

CUTTING THE CRAP

The. dominant presence of television provokes resistance from many artists. In their work, they react to a media that’s ruled by commerce and formulas. Subversive to a media that’s ruled by commerce and formulas. Subversive montages and satirical imitations are the methods employed here, yet following in the shoes of detested predecessors turns out to be a bit more difficult than assumed: cut! Take twenty…

NARRATIVE IMMERSION 

The artists in this program opt for a more spatial. approach in order to tell their stories.  For the creation of tension, conflicts, and opportunities for identification, a compulsory timeline isn’t necessary.  This leads to the viewer being taken through film and video spaces, as well as environments and atmospheres,  enabling him to expose the “real” stories that may be lurking here, or even surrendering himself completely to the world. he discovers here on his own.

DAILY OPERATIONS

Daily operations shows the wonder and absurdity of the everyday. In these works, the world is observed up-close under a magnifying glass. We are witnesses to a personal outpouring, and find ourselves amazed by unexpected absurdity in familiar situations. In the process, the artists often direct themselves towards the audience. From video diaries, via a surreal ride in a tram, to the beauty of the imperfect and melting chairs in the garden.

FOLKY FOXTROT

Expressing national and/or ethnic identities in art is seen as rather problematic. Film and video as a display of national emblems or controversial ideologies reeks of dubious propaganda. Yet in these videos, the communist battle song and fascistic telephone terror don’t directly lead to manipulative media documents. Nor do the artists intend simply to ridicule a given nation’s pathos. Instead it seems what they want to get across is that there’s a whole spectrum of national majesty between xenophobia and folklore.

IMAGINARY EXPERIMENTS

The poetically attractive power of science can undoubtedly produce wonderful art. Genetic technology, quantum mechanics, brain scans, and imaginary experiments lead in this block to breathtaking journeys through mental and video spaces. Where science is limited by the shackles of objectivity, art can more freely of rules and laws. “This is the way true poets create and then understand…sometimes” (H. Michaux)

NAKED SUIT 

Cameras and art seem easily able to open doors to places that are otherwise difficult to reach. These two phenomena allow the audience to take part instantly in a virtual (though secret) ritual of suicides. Obscure old men assume ugly poses, as the onlooker is witness to the kindness of passerby who gratify an Asian filmmaker with a French kiss. Shameless attention to intimate experiences can sometimes lead to painful spectacles and unexpected beauty. Yet if fear of the borders between the ethical and unethical, the public and the private, had made these filmmakers reluctant to create these films, then these events would probably have remained a secret to us forever.
