Tzu Nyen Ho revisits Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", somewhere between a remake and a pastiche, by using images from castings made during the preparation for the shooting in the Supreme Court of Singapore. Oreet Ashery directs the visit of an absent artist's workshop by a curator, an "artistic thriller" exploring the border between the private domain and the dynamics of power in the art's world. Daniel Barrow describes and parodies his personal approach to practising art. Elvadas Jansas films himself in an ironic intrigue with, as a starting point, the project for building an art center in Vilnius. Ondrej Brody and Kristofer Paetau imitate reality-tv where wannabe singers have been replaced by artists and their jury is made up of curators. Jaan Toomik grasps the awkwardness of collective representations by filming a Santa Klaus parade. Daniela Schulz films Gerd Conradt, pioneer of fluxus videos, destroying his tapes as homage to future generations. Irini Karayannopoulou's animation revisits an 80's pop song as iconoclast homage to Joseph Beuys. Carles Congost tells the story of an imaginary country solely habited by artists claiming the right to be something else than the king's buffoons. Paul Tarragó, surrounded by erudite fluffy toys, dresses up as a kid's entertainer to initiate the public to a clear rereading of the history of art. Martin Sastre takes us to 2876, in a Latin America which has become a powerful confederation and the United States have atomised themselves. In this future, Martin Sastre and Matthew Barney will test their powers in a final clash.

Raphaël CUOMO, Maria IORIO : Sudeuropa
Fiction documentaire | dv | color | 0:40:00
Switzerland /Spain , Pays-Bas | 2007 [•]

Jan Ijäs paints the tragic portrait of a man who, as a young student, saw in 1963 in Teheran Stanley Kubrick's "Spartacus" and believed in this utopia of revolution. Claire Angelini speaks of an improbable meeting, that of a Vietnamese refugee woman living in Germany and of the Starnberg lake haloed with the mythified memory of Sissi and of Louis II of Bavaria. With Philippe Terrier-Hermann, we are present at the non-meeting between five residents of an Venetian ex-psychiatric hospital transformed into international university research center, each obsessed by problems of community in their respective countries. Raphaël Cuomo and Maria Iorio examine the materialization of national and European migration politics at Lampedusa and the reconfiguration of space and of daily life of this small Italian island. «Sudeuropa» focuses on the conditions of production of images of emergency: journalists and cameramen complete the police set-up which lines up the bodies, presents them in front of the cameras, organizes the staging, gives form to the habitual figures of "clandestine immigrants", on the southern frontier of Europe.

Pablo Wendel becomes one of the 6000 terracotta statues of the statues Army of Lintong in China. Mathias Delfau offers the violent meeting of two points of view; a camera plunges into a motif similar to a leafy vine and discovers anthropomorphic volumes resembling an accumulation of pinned bodies. Jonathan Schwartz offers a falsely naive animation which assembles words and structures like anagrams. Stephen Andrews and John Greyson fragment an animation and a text, on the subject of war and decomposition, of the displacement of values and of the everyday. Lamia Joreige tells of her experience with war from a personal viewpoint, using notes written and filmed during the war in Lebanon in the summer of 2006. On a pavement in Columbia, Miguel Angel Rojas links traces of blood with a chalk line. Tania Parovic assembles images which document terrorist attacks in the media. This placing in series renders explicit the interchangeable characteristics of these images and of the interpretations which are made of them. Laurie Thinot animates the complex mechanism of a path of thought, right to its explosive end. Martha Colburn explores the visual and psychological parallels between the frontier of the American West and the conflict in the Middle East. Jennet Thomas inserts an improbable creature endowed with life in the middle of family portraits. Jean-Gabriel Périot serialises images of fighter aircraft, from the air to the ground, right to their bombing site.
