Opus III explore le paysage des montagnes de l’Atlas à la fois comme un territoire physique et comme un topos symbolique. Tournée entre la Tunisie et le Maroc, l’œuvre prolonge les recherches initiées dans Opus I et II, en confrontant le paysage visible à ses résonances mythologiques. La pièce envisage l’Atlas non seulement comme un massif géographique, mais comme une figure archétypale façonnée par des récits récurrents, des croyances et des mémoires collectives. À travers un langage visuel lent et contemplatif, Opus III devient un passage entre la présence matérielle des montagnes et les strates immatérielles de sens qui les habitent. L’œuvre invite le·la spectateur·rice à déplacer son point de vue et à entrer dans un espace où paysage, mythe et perception s’entrelacent.

Haythem Zakaria (né en 1983 en Tunisie, basé en France) est un artiste transdisciplinaire et performeur sonore. Travaillant entre la vidéo, l’installation, la photographie, le dessin et le son, il explore la manière dont les paysages, les mythes et les formes de mémoire façonnent la perception, et comment le visible peut s’ouvrir à des dimensions plus fugitives de l’expérience. Sa pratique s’ancre dans la recherche de terrain, les temporalités lentes et une attention affinée à la résonance des lieux. Depuis 2010, son travail a été présenté à l’international dans de grandes expositions, biennales et espaces d’art indépendants à travers l’Europe, l’Afrique du Nord, le Moyen-Orient, l’Asie et l’Amérique du Nord, notamment à documenta 15, la Biennale de Venise, le Japan Media Arts Festival, Cairotronica, Dream City, Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, Casa Árabe, ainsi que dans de nombreuses institutions à Paris, Londres, Berlin, Pékin, Rabat, Tokyo et San Francisco. Lauréat du Grand Prix du Japan Media Arts Festival pour Interstices, Zakaria continue de développer des projets fondés sur la recherche, où l’image, le son et la matière se croisent, ouvrant un espace d’enquête sur les archétypes, la mémoire et les seuils entre le visible et l’invisible.

Le travail vidéo poursuit l'idée de l'impossibilité de la perception. Principalement, c'est la mémoire qui formule la réalité et la perception. Des sentiments d'étrangeté et la perte de sécurité suivent l'homme sur son chemin ou a la recherche d'un "Chez-soi". Ce "chez-soi" je le comprends sous le terme xora développé par J. Derrida. Le titre de la vidéo commence par le mot anglais, « movie » qui au moment ou il est prononcé peut être au même moment perçu comme le mot polonais que il/elle dit.

Situé dans la ville de Ahlen, en Allemagne, « My Temporary Visiting Position From The Sunset Terrace Bar », est généré par un serveur informatique qui imite un film de paysage au crépuscule tourné par un amateur. Alors que les images de la ville sont préenregistrées, le ciel est capté en temps réel à partir d'une webcam qui filme le ciel de Naples (Italie) au coucher du soleil. Le ciel résulte donc toujours changeant. Le site qui héberge le projet produit un nouveau film chaque jour, et l?enregistre dans une archive. Cette ?uvre, qui affronte des thèmes tels que l'exil, la migration et le contrôle des frontières, est magnifié par un poème du prestigieux auteur Ghada Samman et par la musique du groupe international Gotan Project et du légendaire compositeur Gabriel Yared.

Carlo Zanni est né à La Spezia (Italie) en 1975. Il fait partie des pionniers parmi les artistes nouveaux médias de sa génération. Durant les huit dernières années, Carlo Zanni a constamment exploré une nouvelle approche radicale de l'art consistant à utiliser des matériaux recueillis en direct sur Internet pour façonner des formes qui reflètent les questions d'actualité de notre vie. Ses ?uvres ont été montrées dans tout le monde, dans de nombreux musées et galeries, notamment au MAXXI Museum de Rome en 2006-2007, au New Museum de New York en 2005, au Gavin Brown?s Enterprise at Passerby de New York en 2005, au P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center de New York en 2001. Le Institute of Contemporary Arts de Londres lui a consacré sa première rétrospective en octobre 2005 et a publié son livre « Vitalogy ». En octobre 2006, le documentaire « 8-bit » de l?artiste et metteur en scène Marcin Ramocki, dont la première a eu lieu au MoMA de New York, présentait une interview de Carlo Zanni.

Prima Vita is part of a series about mechanized landscapes. A short piece recorded in Barcelona´s container terminal from Montjuïc, a nearby hill overlooking the city. Huge tired cranes roll along aisles made of thousands of containers stacked on top of each other in an otherwise rigid matrix that provides for efficient storage and transport between large ships and trucks. The cranes are operated by a single driver assisted by computers in a carefully choreographed dance thru the meadows of invisible goods. Landscape is a machine part of larger machines, where humans, surface rolling vehicles and ships are gears in permanent interaction.

1974, photographer and architect. Graduated from the PUCMM in Santiago, Dominican Republic. I´m a founding member of Grupo Fotográfico de Santiago since 1996, a group of photographers from different backgrounds committed with promoting photography through exhibitions, lectures and workshops. I moved on to study architecture and urbanism at the Berlage Institute in Rotterdam in 2000 focusing on recent urban transformations through the landscapes of Rotterdam and Zuid Holland and eventually went on to work for the photographer Francesco Jodice and Multiplicity, in projects like Secret Traces and Uncertain States of Europe at the Triennale di Milano. Among other distinctions is the Wilfredo García international photography prize, first prize at the 2005 Rotterdam Architecture Biennale (Al_Caribe with Supersudaca) and being selected for the XXIV Bienal Eduardo León Jimenes. I`ve taught at several institutions in Latin America and Europe while working in collaborative projects and workshops as an independent architect and visual artist in projects on architecture, landscape and photography.

Kitty came back home from on the island But kitty came on home without a name. To speak in tongues’ means to have the gift for mastering an unknown language while also being passed through by someone else’s word. In this telescopic and panoramic film of fac-simile et exempla, circularity at first, leads us right into the 360° view of a battle scene where the past is frozen within a tourist museum-device and the viewers with their camera are the actual subject. In sequence, concentric holes open up: a horse is performing a dance stepping backward; a fortune teller takes guesses on future circumstances and retrospective ones; the bodies of two gymnasts extend through their tools of artifice and grace, then we are taken on a ride across a Little Venice in miniature empty like a movie set. This spiral comes full circle in the silence of a lonely hunter on a Apennines tromp-l’oeil, a simulation park with fake birds and a mimetic wildermann: a carousel of the artificial where solitude is sound and nature is impermeable.  Proceeding by aphorisms, this film unfolds into a number of articulations and dimensions, all exceptionally true and false, like in an almanac of vision.

ZAPRUDERfilmmakersgroup is a collective formed by David Zamagni, Nadia Ranocchi and Monaldo Moretti. Founded in 2000 and based in the hills between Cesena and Rimini, the group is the author of film projects and art installations that have been shown in major international film and art festivals. Zapruder’s fervent production relies on a ferocious and comic analysis of the human condition whose tragic destiny becomes a metaphysical place where they explore the language of representation, forging a surreal and poetic portrait. The group film-projects are often flexible cinematic devices, which Zapruder defines as `Chamber Cinema` sort of incarnated environment and disembodied theatre, poised between visual and performing arts. Vision becomes experience of time, long shots prevail and draw a polycentric spatial scene that allow the eye to open on the enigma of vision rather than narrowing on the narrative anecdote. Zapruder’s projects are written and directed by David Zamagni and Nadia Ranocchi. David Zamagni ( b. 1971, Rimini) During his cinema studies in Bologna at DAMS, in 1994 he joins the theater company ‘Motus’ to later become icon actor of the performance `Catrame` (1996). In 1998, with Enrico Casagrande and Daniela Nicolò, is co-author of `Orlando Furioso` and in 1999 they are awarded the UBU prize as well as that of the magazine `Lo straniero`; in the same year he leaves Motus to pursue his interests in cinema. Nadia Ranocchi ( b. 1973, Rimini) After completing her studies in Psychology at the University of Bologna, in 1998 she starts working with David Zamagni on their movies and audiovisual projects. Monaldo Moretti (b. 1972, Recanati) joins them in 2000. He is David’s former classmate in highschool and later on over the DAMS years. As well as co-founder of the group Zapruder, he`s director of photography, actor and foley artist.

Experimenting in telepathy during the 1970s, American Parapsychologist Charles Honorton introduced what he termed the Ganzfeld (full field) Method. One of the two subjects involved would experience a state of sensory deprivation, induced by placing the two halves of a ping pong ball over the eyes, while indistinct (white) noise was played into the ears through headphones. Such condition would give the subject the necessary concentration to allow for the transmission of thoughts and images remotely, solely through telepathy, from the mind of the other subject, who would be situated in a `communicating` room. Suite is part of Zapruder`s project `SPELL`. Combinations of elements ?Spell? give rise to cryptic and solemn events whose expression is often uncertain, even suspected.

Since 2000, David Zamagni (b. 1971, Rimini) and Nadia Ranocchi (b. 1973, Rimini) have been working under the name Zapruder, in collaboration with Monaldo Moretti (b.1972, Recanati) and a rotating network of creative members. Since 2005, the group has been exploring the possibilities of digital, stereoscopic, 3-D cinematic techniques through short film, concerts and installations. zapruderie.com

COCK-CROW (51 min Hd stereoscopic film 2009) Every age spawns and feeds its dragon. Unknown and obscure powers under which simpliest and more ordinary gestures lapse. Men whose bodily existence becomes the place for implacable struggles. Depths impossible to plumb and therefore admitted to participate in the holy economy. Cock-Crow materializes the dreams of a tiny little boy who is blameworthy for what he sees. It is the fall into an anterior world, a place of non-consolatory object-images, in search of the dragon to fight against. Cock-Crow it`s a rite of passage from childhood to manhood.

DAVID ZAMAGNI & NADIA RANOCCHI David Zamagni (Rimini, 1971) e Nadia Ranocchi (Rimini, 1973), directors and filmmakers, they live and work in Roncofreddo (FC). Together they are the authors of ZAPRUDER Filmmakersgroup` projects (David Zamagni, Nadia Ranocchi and Monaldo Moretti). Zapruder?s work is difficult to define within the traditional disciplinary boundaries and may perhaps be placed in the interstitial area between visual, performance and cinematographic art to give form to what the group defines as ?chamber cinema?, a sort of incarnated and tactile cinema, as well as a form of immaterial theatre. Zapruder?s production is characterized by an entirely artisanal approach that leads to a personal language in which the means is a fundamental and inexorable part. Since 2005 the group explores the possibilities of anaglyphy and stereoscopy through a series of short films and installations exploiting the techniques of 3-D cinema, conceiving and constructing both the equipments for the stereoscopic shooting and those used for watching. A considerable part of Zapruder?s work has taken place within the context of Italian experimental theatre (collaboration with Motus, Fanny & Alexander and Romeo Castellucci/Societas Raffaello Sanzio). Works by the Zapruder Filmmakersgroup have been screened and have won awards in prestigious festivals, including Oberhausen Kurzfilmtage (D), Biennale de l`image en mouvement (Geneva, Switzerland), Graz Biennal on Media and Architecture (A), Transmediale (Berlin, D), TTV Performing Arts on Screen (Riccione, I), Netmage (Bologna, I), Rencontres Internationales Paris, Madrid, Berlin, Milanesiana (I), Santarcangelo Festival (I), Contemporanea Festival (Prato, I), Kunsten Festival des Arts (Brussels, B), Uovo Festival (Milan, I), Festival d`Avignon (F) Venice film festival (Venice Lido, I).

MORNING SMILE est la première oeuvre de Zapruder sur la trilogie de George Bataille. Elle porte le parfum de l'oubli, comme suspendue dans le temps. Après avoir passé une nuit ensemble, Dirty et Troppman se retrouvent dans la chambre d'un hotel Savoy. Dirty est éméchée, elle peine à parler et dit n'importe quoi. L'alcool anésthésie son cerveau et attise ses peurs, "la peur corrige tout le monde" dit Dirty, avant de s'oublier dans ses vêtements. Troppman est témoin de la souffrance de la jeune femme. La chambre d'hôtel, "réservée" pour les amants, n'est pas un refuge douillet, il s'agit d'un lieu ouvert qui laisse entrer une autre histoire, une autre chambre : la chambre nuptiale pour laquelle avaient été commandés les quatre tableaux de Botticelli représentant une scène de chasse, dont la proie était une jeune fille. Les peintures évoquent la peur de la damnation. "Morning Smile" s'inspire de "Dirty" de George Bataille, et se rapproche de la huitième nouvelle du cinquième jour du Décaméron.

Le collectif de cinéastes ZAPRUDER a été crée par David Zamagni (né en 1971 à Rimini), Nadia Ranocchi (né en 1973 à Rimini) et Monaldo Moretti (né en 1972 à Recanati). Zapruder est établi à Roncofreddo (Forli-Cesena) en Italie. D.Zamagni et N.Ranocchi tournent en 1998 trois animations : "Tony the fireman", "Marylin and the K." et "Steak & Chips". En 1999, David Zamagni, Enrico Casagrande et Daniela Nicolo réalisent "O.F. ovvero Orlando Furioso impunemente eseguito da Motus" en collaboration avec la compagnie 'Motus', qui est récompensé au "Riccione TTV Performing Arts on screen Festival 2000". Suivent "H.O.L.Y.", signalé au Festival du film de Bellaria, et "Revolver V.M. 18", une installation vidéo réalisée en collaboration avec l'écrivain Isabella Santacroce et montrée à "Brescia Music Art 2000". En 2001, "J.G." est récompensé lors du festival Iceberg 2002. Parmi les autres réalisations du collectif : "Totentanz", "Nervi" (récompensé lors du Festival du film Bellaria 2001), "SPRING ROLL" (récompensé lors du 48ème Festival du court métrage d'Oberhausen, mention spéciale de l''Unimovie 2001' de Pescara et prix 'Fiaticorti Nuove Frontiere', "Doggy bag with Spring roll" (mention spéciale au "Premio D.A.M.S", 2002). En 2002, Zapruder collabore avec la compagnie "Fanny & Alexander" pour réaliser la vidéo de la performance "Requiem". Les deux troupes produisent et réalisent ensemble la vidéo "R for Redrum" (L.De Angelis), récompensée lors du "Riccione TTV festival performing arts on screen". A l'occasion de ce festival, Zapruder et Fanny & Alexander présentent l'installation vidéo sur trois écrans "speak memory speak". En 2003, ils fondent le projet nabokovien "ADA", associant six scènes de théâtre avec des images vidéo de Zapruder. Cette année sont présentées l'installation vidéo "VILLA VENUS" à l'université Monash (Prato), ainsi que la performance "Ardis I" lors du Festival Ravenna. Suit "Ardis II" en 2004, présenté lors du Kunsten Festival des arts de Bruxelles. En juin 2005 "Vaniada" est présentée lors du Festival des collines turinoises : il s'agit de la dernière performance nabokovienne de la compagnie Fanny & Alexander contenant des images vidéo signées Zapruder. En novembre, "Morning Smile" est présenté à la 11ème Biennale de l'image en mouvement de Genève. En 2006, "Morning Smile" remporte le prix Riccione TTV récompensant les "choix linguistiques radicaux dans l'oeuvre". En juillet, Zapruder présente "Daimon. The laceretor" au 'O6 Festival of Arts' de Santarcangelo, dont la seconde partie (présentée à la Galerie d'art contemporain de Trento) est également à voir avec des lunettes 3D.

A considerable part of Zapruder?s work has taken place within the context of Italian experimental theatre (collaboration with Motus, Fanny & Alexander and Romeo Castellucci/Societas Raffaello Sanzio). Works by the Zapruder Filmmakersgroup have been screened and have won awards in prestigious festivals, including Oberhausen Kurzfilmtage (D), Biennale de l`image en mouvement (Geneva, Switzerland), Graz Biennal on Media and Architecture (A), Transmediale (Berlin, D), TTV Performing Arts on Screen (Riccione, I), Netmage (Bologna, I), Rencontres Internationales Paris, Madrid, Berlin, Milanesiana (I), Santarcangelo Festival (I), Contemporanea Festival (Prato, I), Kunsten Festival des Arts (Brussels, B), Uovo Festival (Milan, I), Festival d`Avignon (F) Venice film festival (Venice Lido, I).

MORNING SMILE est la première oeuvre de Zapruder sur la trilogie de George Bataille. Elle porte le parfum de l'oubli, comme suspendue dans le temps. Après avoir passé une nuit ensemble, Dirty et Troppman se retrouvent dans la chambre d'un hotel Savoy. Dirty est éméchée, elle peine à parler et dit n'importe quoi. L'alcool anésthésie son cerveau et attise ses peurs, "la peur corrige tout le monde" dit Dirty, avant de s'oublier dans ses vêtements. Troppman est témoin de la souffrance de la jeune femme. La chambre d'hôtel, "réservée" pour les amants, n'est pas un refuge douillet, il s'agit d'un lieu ouvert qui laisse entrer une autre histoire, une autre chambre : la chambre nuptiale pour laquelle avaient été commandés les quatre tableaux de Botticelli représentant une scène de chasse, dont la proie était une jeune fille. Les peintures évoquent la peur de la damnation. "Morning Smile" s'inspire de "Dirty" de George Bataille, et se rapproche de la huitième nouvelle du cinquième jour du Décaméron.

Le collectif de cinéastes ZAPRUDER a été crée par David Zamagni (né en 1971 à Rimini), Nadia Ranocchi (né en 1973 à Rimini) et Monaldo Moretti (né en 1972 à Recanati). Zapruder est établi à Roncofreddo (Forli-Cesena) en Italie. D.Zamagni et N.Ranocchi tournent en 1998 trois animations : "Tony the fireman", "Marylin and the K." et "Steak & Chips". En 1999, David Zamagni, Enrico Casagrande et Daniela Nicolo réalisent "O.F. ovvero Orlando Furioso impunemente eseguito da Motus" en collaboration avec la compagnie 'Motus', qui est récompensé au "Riccione TTV Performing Arts on screen Festival 2000". Suivent "H.O.L.Y.", signalé au Festival du film de Bellaria, et "Revolver V.M. 18", une installation vidéo réalisée en collaboration avec l'écrivain Isabella Santacroce et montrée à "Brescia Music Art 2000". En 2001, "J.G." est récompensé lors du festival Iceberg 2002. Parmi les autres réalisations du collectif : "Totentanz", "Nervi" (récompensé lors du Festival du film Bellaria 2001), "SPRING ROLL" (récompensé lors du 48ème Festival du court métrage d'Oberhausen, mention spéciale de l''Unimovie 2001' de Pescara et prix 'Fiaticorti Nuove Frontiere', "Doggy bag with Spring roll" (mention spéciale au "Premio D.A.M.S", 2002). En 2002, Zapruder collabore avec la compagnie "Fanny & Alexander" pour réaliser la vidéo de la performance "Requiem". Les deux troupes produisent et réalisent ensemble la vidéo "R for Redrum" (L.De Angelis), récompensée lors du "Riccione TTV festival performing arts on screen". A l'occasion de ce festival, Zapruder et Fanny & Alexander présentent l'installation vidéo sur trois écrans "speak memory speak". En 2003, ils fondent le projet nabokovien "ADA", associant six scènes de théâtre avec des images vidéo de Zapruder. Cette année sont présentées l'installation vidéo "VILLA VENUS" à l'université Monash (Prato), ainsi que la performance "Ardis I" lors du Festival Ravenna. Suit "Ardis II" en 2004, présenté lors du Kunsten Festival des arts de Bruxelles. En juin 2005 "Vaniada" est présentée lors du Festival des collines turinoises : il s'agit de la dernière performance nabokovienne de la compagnie Fanny & Alexander contenant des images vidéo signées Zapruder. En novembre, "Morning Smile" est présenté à la 11ème Biennale de l'image en mouvement de Genève. En 2006, "Morning Smile" remporte le prix Riccione TTV récompensant les "choix linguistiques radicaux dans l'oeuvre". En juillet, Zapruder présente "Daimon. The laceretor" au 'O6 Festival of Arts' de Santarcangelo, dont la seconde partie (présentée à la Galerie d'art contemporain de Trento) est également à voir avec des lunettes 3D.

Kitty came back home from on the island But kitty came on home without a name. To speak in tongues’ means to have the gift for mastering an unknown language while also being passed through by someone else’s word. In this telescopic and panoramic film of fac-simile et exempla, circularity at first, leads us right into the 360° view of a battle scene where the past is frozen within a tourist museum-device and the viewers with their camera are the actual subject. In sequence, concentric holes open up: a horse is performing a dance stepping backward; a fortune teller takes guesses on future circumstances and retrospective ones; the bodies of two gymnasts extend through their tools of artifice and grace, then we are taken on a ride across a Little Venice in miniature empty like a movie set. This spiral comes full circle in the silence of a lonely hunter on a Apennines tromp-l’oeil, a simulation park with fake birds and a mimetic wildermann: a carousel of the artificial where solitude is sound and nature is impermeable.  Proceeding by aphorisms, this film unfolds into a number of articulations and dimensions, all exceptionally true and false, like in an almanac of vision.

ZAPRUDERfilmmakersgroup is a collective formed by David Zamagni, Nadia Ranocchi and Monaldo Moretti. Founded in 2000 and based in the hills between Cesena and Rimini, the group is the author of film projects and art installations that have been shown in major international film and art festivals. Zapruder’s fervent production relies on a ferocious and comic analysis of the human condition whose tragic destiny becomes a metaphysical place where they explore the language of representation, forging a surreal and poetic portrait. The group film-projects are often flexible cinematic devices, which Zapruder defines as `Chamber Cinema` sort of incarnated environment and disembodied theatre, poised between visual and performing arts. Vision becomes experience of time, long shots prevail and draw a polycentric spatial scene that allow the eye to open on the enigma of vision rather than narrowing on the narrative anecdote. Zapruder’s projects are written and directed by David Zamagni and Nadia Ranocchi. David Zamagni ( b. 1971, Rimini) During his cinema studies in Bologna at DAMS, in 1994 he joins the theater company ‘Motus’ to later become icon actor of the performance `Catrame` (1996). In 1998, with Enrico Casagrande and Daniela Nicolò, is co-author of `Orlando Furioso` and in 1999 they are awarded the UBU prize as well as that of the magazine `Lo straniero`; in the same year he leaves Motus to pursue his interests in cinema. Nadia Ranocchi ( b. 1973, Rimini) After completing her studies in Psychology at the University of Bologna, in 1998 she starts working with David Zamagni on their movies and audiovisual projects. Monaldo Moretti (b. 1972, Recanati) joins them in 2000. He is David’s former classmate in highschool and later on over the DAMS years. As well as co-founder of the group Zapruder, he`s director of photography, actor and foley artist.

Experimenting in telepathy during the 1970s, American Parapsychologist Charles Honorton introduced what he termed the Ganzfeld (full field) Method. One of the two subjects involved would experience a state of sensory deprivation, induced by placing the two halves of a ping pong ball over the eyes, while indistinct (white) noise was played into the ears through headphones. Such condition would give the subject the necessary concentration to allow for the transmission of thoughts and images remotely, solely through telepathy, from the mind of the other subject, who would be situated in a `communicating` room. Suite is part of Zapruder`s project `SPELL`. Combinations of elements ?Spell? give rise to cryptic and solemn events whose expression is often uncertain, even suspected.

Since 2000, David Zamagni (b. 1971, Rimini) and Nadia Ranocchi (b. 1973, Rimini) have been working under the name Zapruder, in collaboration with Monaldo Moretti (b.1972, Recanati) and a rotating network of creative members. Since 2005, the group has been exploring the possibilities of digital, stereoscopic, 3-D cinematic techniques through short film, concerts and installations. zapruderie.com

COCK-CROW (51 min Hd stereoscopic film 2009) Every age spawns and feeds its dragon. Unknown and obscure powers under which simpliest and more ordinary gestures lapse. Men whose bodily existence becomes the place for implacable struggles. Depths impossible to plumb and therefore admitted to participate in the holy economy. Cock-Crow materializes the dreams of a tiny little boy who is blameworthy for what he sees. It is the fall into an anterior world, a place of non-consolatory object-images, in search of the dragon to fight against. Cock-Crow it`s a rite of passage from childhood to manhood.

DAVID ZAMAGNI & NADIA RANOCCHI David Zamagni (Rimini, 1971) e Nadia Ranocchi (Rimini, 1973), directors and filmmakers, they live and work in Roncofreddo (FC). Together they are the authors of ZAPRUDER Filmmakersgroup` projects (David Zamagni, Nadia Ranocchi and Monaldo Moretti). Zapruder?s work is difficult to define within the traditional disciplinary boundaries and may perhaps be placed in the interstitial area between visual, performance and cinematographic art to give form to what the group defines as ?chamber cinema?, a sort of incarnated and tactile cinema, as well as a form of immaterial theatre. Zapruder?s production is characterized by an entirely artisanal approach that leads to a personal language in which the means is a fundamental and inexorable part. Since 2005 the group explores the possibilities of anaglyphy and stereoscopy through a series of short films and installations exploiting the techniques of 3-D cinema, conceiving and constructing both the equipments for the stereoscopic shooting and those used for watching.

At a novel workshop of the gods, Greek theater masks with Hollywood features are setting up a love engine. Phoenix. Amore brucio is the 7th of 12th episodes that Zapruder dedicates to the myth of Hercules.

ZAPRUDER is a group formed by David Zamagni, Nadia Ranocchi and Monaldo Moretti. It was founded in 2000 in Roncofreddo (Italy), where the collective’s headquarters still are. The group experiments in film, merging figurative, performative and cinematographic arts to provide a total visual experience, in the direction of a total visual experience. That’s the case with their ’chamber cinema’: video-installation projects where cinema and object are fused together, drawing on the technique of stereoscopic film ( or the illusion of three dimensions), as well as on expanded cinema. In 2011, Zapruder’s work received the 3D Persol Award at the Venice Film Festival. Along the years, the group has met Italian experimental theatre with productions in collaboration with Motus, Fanny & Alexander, Romeo Castellucci and Santarcangelo Festival. A large amount of their artistic process is dedicated to the sound design of their movies: the main soundtrack is made by performing foley effects and recording environmental sounds in order to produce a more dynamic and complex experience for the viewer. Their video installation Zeus Machine/Salita all’ Olimpo ( Zeus Machine/The conquering of Olympus) was awarded the Premio MAXXI 2016. Zapruder’s work has been presented internationally in festivals and performing arts venues: Venice Film Festival; Rotterdam Film festival; Rome Film Festival; Kurtzfilmtage Oberhausen; Biennale de l’image en mouvement, Geneva; Transmediale, Berlin; Netmage, Bologna; Triennale, Milan; Centre Pompidou, Paris. Among their solo exhibitions: Careof, Milan (2013); Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Ferrara (2014); Marsèlleria, Milan (2014); Raum, Bologna (2014); Artopiagallery, Milan (2015); Kunstraum Walcheturm, Zurich (2015); Mega, Milan (2018), Gucci Garden, Firenze (2018). Among group exhibitions: Cineteca di Bologna, Bologna (2013); WRO Media Art Biennale, Wroclaw (2013); Aula Bunker, Rome (2014); PAC, Milan (2014); MAG Museo Alto Garda, Riva del Garda (2015); OCAT, Shanghai (2015); MAXXI, Rome (2016).

A boy longing to become part of a motorcycling group leads us into a silver horizon, where through an array of moving images of dust, remote landscapes, and boys dressed in fragrant leather, we witness visual portrayals of what it means to feel ‘foreign’.

THE TANGIER 8 In June 2009, Tamaas, an international non-profit arts organization, invited eight poets and filmmakers coming from France, Lebanon, Mexico, Morocco, and the United States, to Tangier, Morocco. These four poet-filmmaker pairs collaborated using Super 8 film and writing original text to create these experimental ?film-poems.? Working under tight time constraints-they had just four days to film, four days for sound, and four days for editing, the artists took inspiration from the city of Tangier-its history, architecture, people, politics, as well as from each other, to produce these short film-poems. Here are the finished film-poems, along with a "making of" documentary about the artists who created them. Each work is independent and can be viewed alone or otherwise shown as a whole.

Based on the 8mm footage my grandmother shot during a trip to Armenia and the images I took during my journey there 36 years later, Dear Victoria investigates notions of belonging and alienation through an encounter between two worlds. I only recently discovered my grandmother?s footage and never thought we would be exchanging views across temporalities one day.

Familièrement terne et générique, l'environnement des lieux peu appréciés offrent des décors parfaits pour un zoo d'idées, d'artefacts et de machines. Ils inhibent un monde technologiquement de plus en plus explicite où le transport des Hommes semble être leur dernier objectif. À la place, elles sont une partie d'un flux de devenir, de développement, d'accident, de recombinaison et de prolifération distordue en évolution constante. Leur auto-perpétration chargée créée une gentille monstruosité et de la poésie monstrueuse. Cela montre alors que le mélange du nano -du bio- et des technologies de l'information a rendu les concepts d'originalité et d'authenticité humaine obsolète, que cette substance artificielle créée ses propres artefacts et leur forme future. Demanderont-ils bientôt leur droit de (trans-) humains ? S'ils ont déjà signé ce nouveau Magna Carta, serions-nous les derniers à le savoir ?

Zeitguised fut fondé en 2001 par Jamie Raap et Henrik Mauler à Stuttgart en Allemagne, où ils sont toujours basés aujourd'hui. Jamie, qui possède un diplôme en Beaux Arts et un master en Arts Médias, a travaillé à Chicago comme sculpteur et styliste dans la mode. Henrik a un diplôme d?architecture et il enseigne le design numérique expérimental à l?université de Stuttgart. Il avait travaillé auparavant pour Segura/T26 à Chicago. Quand ils ont rassemblé pour la première fois leurs talents, leur dénominateur commun fut l?animation dimensionnelle et graphique. Quelques expositions internationales, festivals, publications, nominations et récompenses plus tard, l?animation est devenu leur principal domaine d?occupation. Tandis que l?architecture et la mode restent toujours des intérêts majeurs et des sources d?inspirations, des clients très connus sont tout spécialement intéressés par leurs graphiques en mouvement. Ils ont fini des travaux récemment pour MTFG Plazza Bank et TV Asahi au Japon, PTV Europe, Toonami Cartoon network au Royaume-Uni, German Electronic musique duo Funkst?rung and Popular Mechanics magazine aux États-Unis.

"El Tenista" (Le Tennis) utilise des images d'un jeu vidéo de tennis comme reflet de la réalité actuelle. Près de remporter la partie, le joueur ? le narrateur ? sent que quelque chose ne va pas et s'interroge sur son existence. La métaphore ludique du Gagnant et du Perdant apparaît alors comme un pur produit de la crise que subit le modèle politico-social de compétition prédominant dans la société. "El Tenista", une vidéo du collectif Zemos98, recourt à cette métaphore pour dénoncer un système qui force les gens à se travestir, à être ce qu'ils ne sont pas, et qui les poussent à l'inertie, à perdre leur contrôle sur le présent. A la fin de la vidéo, le joueur décide de sortir du champ. La partie est-elle perdue ou gagnée ?

Le collectif Zemos98, l'organisateur de l'un des festivals audiovisuels les plus innovants d'Espagne, apprenant de ses réalisations et de ses erreurs, se renouvelle jour après jour dans ses structures et ses approches. Un groupe ouvert à de multiples modalités narratives ? courts métrages, documentaires, créations vidéo? - mais qui présentent toutes un point commun, ce sont toutes des microhistoires. Au fil des ans, Zemos 98 a intégré et développé une série d'activités parallèles qui ont gagné en présence et en importance.

Nutsigassat reflects on the power of language as a colonizer of foreign landscapes. The Danish names imposed on Greenland’s spaces and landscapes have historically been a part of Denmark’s engagement in the vast country in the North. A process, through which the mountains of Sermitsiaq and Kingittorsuaq that surround Nuuk were detached from both their semantic and geographical meaning. But also the physical signs of the fatal interventions of the past are legible in the concrete high-rises that replaced the small communities of the bygds along the coasts which were closed down by the Danish government in the 1960s and 70s. Even the manual mass production of tupilaks (sacred amulettos made of bones and horns) describe a cultural mutation of the mythical figure into a tourist object. Through a complex juxtaposition of text, voice and her beautiful 16mm film imagery, Zenner has created a critical work in which the majestic and vast vistas of Greenland defy the history imposed on them

Tinne Zenner is a visual artist and filmmaker based in Copenhagen. She holds an MFA from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Working with analogue film, 3D-animation and spatial installation, her work explores the physical structures, in which layers of history, politics and collective memory are embedded. Her work has been shown at a number of international film festivals including Ann Arbor Film Festival, Projections at New York Film Festival, CPH:DOX, Courtisane, Image Forum Tokyo and EXiS in South Korea, and exhibited internationally at Reykjavik Art Museum, Nuuk Art Museum, Gothenburg Kunsthal, BOZAR Centre for Fine Arts Brussels as well as at Overgaden - Institute of Contemporary Art, Kunsthal Charlottenborg and Fotografisk Center in Copenhagen. Zenner is a co-founder and member of Sharna Pax, a film collective based in London and Copenhagen working between the fields of anthropology, documentary and visual arts.

In the GDR Opposition Archive in Berlin, Anna Zett traces known and unknown fears of her childhood. The artist interweaves samizdat and archival footage with a stirring collage of underground music from the late GDR (composed by Matti Gajek). Video recordings by activists from the Environmental Library, the New Forum and the punk scene in East Berlin, fragments of the televised revolution, and highly condensed voices from a poetry cassette recorded in 1986 combine to create an associative and intimate narrative. In ceaseless escalation, the archive thriller leads to the second occupation of the Berlin Stasi headquarters with hunger strike in September 1990 – a political event that is barely known today despite its far-reaching consequences. There is fear. There is anger. There are people who, despite profound experiences of violence, insist on emotional connection and political self-determination. The short film ES GIBT KEINE ANGST opens up a pulsating resonance space that keeps vibrating long after.

Anna Zett is a Berlin-based artist and writer. Rooted in poetry, collage and improvisation, their transmedia practice seeks to host, witness and experience new connections at sites of loss and damage. This work results in films, books, radio plays, installations and live-formats, most recently f.ex. the participatory research ‚Postsocialist Group Improvisation‘. Since their first film release in 2014, Zetts work has been shown in international contexts of contemporary art, film, performance and discourse, such as Berlinale Forum Expanded, Serpentine Gallery London, Whitney Museum New York, Berlinische Galerie, Or Gallery Vancouver, HKW Berlin. Zetts publications include two experimental radio plays for the German public broadcast and the literary text collection ‚Artificial Gut Feeling‘ (Divided Publishing, 2019). Since 2024 Anna Zett co-teaches the class for Performative Arts at HGB Leipzig.

?Broken Threads? is the manipulation of a ?70s Albanian noir movie so as to transform it into its trailer, by collating footage and using as a soundtrack Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds? ?The Curse of Millhaven?, from album Murder Ballads. This project aims at tackling the phenomenon of crime and revolution starting from the earliest jesuit conspirations, showing revolution is nothing but the infamous motto: my work starts when yours is done. For this reason the movie wasn?t digitalized through usual processes, but was instead filmed with a handicam for the whole of its duration, so as to respect the project?s concept. ?Broken Threads? elaborates Cave?s track with Albanian noir movie ?Broken Threads?, revolving around a bunch of Albanian agents ? former nazi collaborators during WWII ? operating against the socialist system, suddendly coming back to their homeland to sabotage and destroy some important objectives in the country?s secret industrial plans. The movie stresses the relationship between memory and actuality, old and new enemies, adding up in a noir spy story showing international plots and conspiration finally failing, as usual, in the best of ways.

An experimental portrait of love and quiet sadness in the corners of Los Angeles. Zhang`s non-linear editing creates an intimate and poetic representation that flows in and out of narrative and documentarian conventions.

Charlotte Zhang (b. 1999) is a filmmaker and occasional writer from Vancouver Island, currently studying Film/Video at California Institute of the Arts.

City Scene est composé d'une série d'instantanés tournés dans les rues et les parcs de Pekin, lors de la préparation des Jeux Olympiques. Le réalisateur capture dans des plans fixes la réalité quotidienne: activités de loisirs, scènes de rue, violence latente. Les plans de longue durée, non coupés, soigneusement cadrés, attirent l'attention sur les lieux et certains détails, ainsi que sur la manière dont les gens bougent et intéragissent. Zhao Liang fait ici un usage impressionnant de la capacité du cinéma à rendre la réalité visible en tant que telle.

Zhao Liang est né en Chine en 1971. Il vit et travaille à Pekin. Son travail est régulièrement montré en Europe et aux Etats-Unis, notamment au festival du film d'Oberhausen, à la Haus der Kultur des Welt, à Berlin, au musée d'art contemporain de Monterrey, au Mexique, et au centre international de photographie de New York.
