Cette oeuvre se veut un outil de recherche dans son propre passé. Il s'agit de relier les lieux d'enfance, les rêves et les enregistrement VHS. Comment réaliser un autoportrait sans s'adonner aux clichés des archives historiques? Il a été dit : "Vous devez comprendre: la mémoire des objets enregistre et retient les actions humaines... de sorte que les générations futures en héritent... Mais on vous a aussi demandé de partir, de tout laisser derrière vous comme si vous n'étiez jamais venu. Les choses, les lieux possèdent une sorte de mémoire. Quand vous entrez dans un espace fermé, une partie de vous y reste attachée, vous perdez quelque chose. Vous devez apprendre à partir sans abandonner une parcelle de votre être... Apprendre à circuler sans laisser de trace."

Late 2010, I got commissioned by Leica to follow in the footsteps of James Bruce and document the Nile river from Alexandria to Aswan. I invited my friend Gheith El-Amine to join me on this trip. it was his first time in Egypt. December 10, 2010: we made plans to leave on February 1, 2011. He contacted two Egyptian friends of his, and we were supposed to meet them as soon as arrived there. January 25. The revolution started in Egypt. the only incoming images so far were made by protesters with cellular phones and uploaded on the net. They were much more efficient than the state-owned television station which was still doing the pro-regime propaganda in high definition resolution.

This associative stream of visuals, culled from the past, reflect on the roles of art, labor, and journalism in contemporary Sri Lanka, facing a dubious future ahead. Memory and ethnographic deconstruction cascade in an obliterated form, forging a dire and prescient assemblage.

Rajee Samarasinghe was born and raised amidst the decades-long civil war in Sri Lanka. He later left for the United States where he is now based. He received his BFA from the University of California San Diego and his MFA from the California Institute of the Arts. His filmmaking practice was born out of a desire to understand the circumstances around his childhood and his work often navigates the terrain of memory, migration, and impermanence within the framework of deconstructing the ethnographic image and the colonial gaze in contemporary media. Rajee is currently working on his debut feature film, "Your Touch Makes Others Invisible," which explores post-civil war Sri Lanka—the project has received support from the Sundance Institute, Berlinale Talents' Doc Station, Field of Vision, and True/False Film Festival’s inaugural PRISM program. Rajee was also named one of Filmmaker Magazine’s 25 New Faces of Independent Film in 2020, and had solo shows at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival in 2021. His short films have been exhibited at venues internationally including the Tiger Short Competition at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, New Directors/New Films presented by Film Society of Lincoln Center & MoMA, MoMA Doc Fortnight, BFI London Film Festival, FIDMarseille, Festival du nouveau cinéma, Internationale Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen, Slamdance, SFFILM Festival, REDCAT, CROSSROADS at SFMOMA, Vancouver International Film Festival, Guanajuato International Film Festival, Media City Film Festival etc. He’s received the Tíos Award for Best International Film at the Ann Arbor Film Festival, the Film House Award for Visionary Filmmaking at the Athens International Film + Video Festival, and an Honorable Mention Award at the Thomas Edison Film Festival among others.

A symbiotic collaboration in movie motion. After Muybridge.

This video was produced for an exquisite corpse project by Jason Simon to be screened on Bastille Day, 2012 in Narrowsburgh, NY. I added a title to my segment and kept the first second of picture from the previous video, the starting point for my work. The title was inspired by a remark of Paul Sharits. One of his assistants had just screened a test for him of an elaborate optical printer film. The title was his response. Also, the Stones played several times on the David Frost Show. Also James Brown was Black and Proud. Also I?m going to dye my hair black and you can?t stop me.

Keith Sanborn is a media artist, theorist, curator and translator based in New York.

A passage between two buildings, a nail salon, a stairwell, a badminton hall, an atrium, a hospital culvert. Life takes place. With the small details of existence in focus, rather than the larger narratives and conflicts, fragments are connected to a possible outcome. In mathematics, the word discrete is used to describe objects that are not continuous and separated from each other. Discrete mathematics is applied in a number of different areas such as encryption, databases, game theory, graph theory and algorithms.

Lucia Pagano and Vanja Sandell Billström were educated at the Lodz Film School and at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. Discrete Mathematics is their second film as a duo which further explores methods developed in their previous film Park. Park was nominated to the Best Swedish Short at Göteborg Film Festival 2020, Tempo Short Award, 1KM Film Award, and winner of the Tempo Sound Award the same year. Previously they have shown their work at festivals and art venues around the world.

Tchétchénie, Grozny, printemps 2021. Les paysages de la ville sont remplis de portraits de Poutine, de Kadyrov père et de Kadyrov fils. Ils me surveillent de tous les coins, s’infiltrent dans mes pensées. C’est presque impossible à croire et à accepter. Je ressens le totalitarisme que ces portraits dégagent, les observant délibérément à travers un objectif déformé. Je filme les rues de ma ville natale, Grozny, depuis les vitres teintées d’une voiture, consciente que de tels actes m’exposent au risque de persécution. Je documente un moment où le fascisme commence à s’enraciner en Russie—un temps où, après trente ans de lutte du peuple tchétchène pour l’indépendance, l’accent est mis sur l’endoctrinement des enfants. En 2022, plus de 12 000 soldats de l’armée de Kadyrov sont envoyés en guerre en Ukraine.

Vladlena Sandu est née en Crimée, en Ukraine (URSS), en 1982 et a grandi à Grozny, en Tchétchénie, où elle est restée pendant quatre années de guerre. Elle est diplômée du VGIK en 2016 avec un diplôme en réalisation cinématographique. En 2019, elle a obtenu un diplôme de troisième cycle en art au VGIK, spécialisé en esthétique, et a publié plusieurs articles académiques. La même année, elle a également terminé sa formation en mise en scène théâtrale au Studio de Boris Yukhananov. Ses œuvres ont été présentées dans des festivals internationaux tels que le Festival du film de Rotterdam, la Berlinale, DocLisboa, GoEast, Movies That Matter, ZagrebDox, le Festival international du film de Genève, DOK Leipzig, et bien d’autres, remportant des prix internationaux. Au début de la guerre de la Russie contre l’Ukraine, en mars 2022, Sandu a fui la Russie et s’est installée à Amsterdam. Là, elle a réalisé No Nation Without Culture, un film sur le régime en Tchétchénie, qui a remporté le prix du Meilleur court-métrage au GoEast IFF 2023. En 2023, elle a également mis en scène la performance autobiographique The Rainbow Cinema et a reçu le prix du Meilleur spectacle d’Amsterdam Fringe 2023.

La Reprise (Dérive) is an exercise in continuity and distortion. This experimental film began on June 20, 2020. As of September 3, 2023, it is 168 min / weeks long. Every week, a subsequent minute is produced by combining scenes shot that week with archival material from the past years. Footage and sound are consistently recorded with the same single device (an iPhone). The film may distort, but there is always a presumption that something exists, or did exist, which is what was recorded. The sequences are neither true nor false, they integrate various degrees of theatricality and authenticity. They become portraits of an agitated immersion in the perpetual process of being, of this unpredictable yet systematic gathering and indexing. They are the record of close observations. I am a passenger, a witness to recurrences and patterns. This continuous collage of archives is the tension. The narrative is disconnected from the sum of its parts and elaborates on successes and failures. In this regard, the film is in a constant state of being finished, rather than interminably in progress. While its length progressively evolves, it also always is its final duration. This work is meant to continue until my death.

Fette Sans is based in Zagreb and in Berlin. She has a conceptual and interdisciplinary practice that includes the production of images, writing, performances, online gestures, film-making, discussions, and installations. Games of dissociative identities and the stories we tell ourselves to collect evidence of what has happened are recurring components in her work. She is interested in the ambiguity of what constitutes an image’s residue. Concerned with social systems, representation, and technology, she develops obsessive rituals, collaborations, and speculative narratives to question these issues. Rituals are interesting because there are ways of expressing repetition and the longing for security while accepting the risks associated with the very act of ceremonial reiterations: boredom itself.

"In Vitro" (Al Mukhtabar) se déroule après une catastrophe écologique. Sous la ville biblique de Bethléem, un réacteur nucléaire abandonné a été transformé en un énorme verger. À l'aide de graines de variétés anciennes, récoltées pendant les derniers jours précédant l'apocalypse, un groupe de scientifiques se prépare à replanter le sol à la surface. Dans l'infirmerie du complexe souterrain, la fondatrice du verger, Dunia, 70 ans, est étendue sur son lit de mort, tandis qu'Alia, 30 ans, lui rend visite. Alia est née sous terre, dans le cadre d'un programme de clonage complet, et n'a jamais vu la ville qu'elle est destinée à reconstruire.

In the Future They Ate From the Finest Porcelain resides in the cross-section between sci-fi, archaeology and politics. Combining live motion and CGI, the film explores the role of myth for history, fact and national identity. A narrative resistance group makes underground deposits of elaborate porcelain – suggested to belong to an entirely fictional civilization. Their aim is to influence history and support future claims to their vanishing lands.

Ruben Santiago 1974 born in Sarria (galicia), Spain Lives and works in Barcelona, Spain

Sous des couches de poussière et de souvenirs oubliés, je cache une époque qui arrive. Je la cache ? Je ne le sais toujours pas. Je retrouve peut-être seulement ces choses qui n'arriveront jamais.

Ruben Santiago est né en 1974 en Espagne. Son travail est varié puisqu'il comprend des installations à grande échelle, des projets Internet, des interventions artistiques dans des endroits publics, des travaux basés sur le développement, des enregistrements et des publications. durant ces dernières années, l'utilisation d'images et de sons mobiles a été le fil conducteur de sa recherche artistique, soit en les combinant à d'autres disciplines, soit en les concevant de manière autonome. Son travail a été exposé dans plusieurs galeries et institutions internationales. Il est actuellement artiste en résidence au Hangar Centre de Producció de Barcelone. 'Exception', 'mémoire' et 'crime' sont les mots-clé de son travail.

Le corp d`une femme devient un voyage, paysage qui coule; le temps marque et transforme un visage: une vie se passe et s`enfuit.

`Desalento` is the story of a love lost in a Lisbon hotel and of a journey to Rio de Janeiro. It`s a diary about absence and solitude; about something that is missing, always and everywhere.

“ Vaghe stelle ” is a seven-chaptered film, conceived as a musical album and composed of seven movements, which can be watched singly (like songs), or in the established order (like a record) or also mixing the films creating new combinations or possible narrations. The “ songs ” are seven as the principal stars of the Ursa Major. It will be a nocturnal wandering with the starry sky as a reference: an earthly pilgrimage looking for epiphanies or the drift of a hypothetical interstellar trip.

An indefinite image appears: a journey begins, a drift in the dark, in an unknown sea, waiting for a landing at the end of the night. ?I have always tried to use shaky shots, unusable leaders or time dilation of fragments to find testimony of a past that has been lived. In Notturno, this search continues within the image, penetrating it, running the pleasurable risk of getting lost inside it.? Mauro Santini

Avec "Rio de Janeiro" nous nous trouvons dans les limites du video-art et du video quotidien. Petits scenes hors focus, tremblantes, presque avec texture, nous montrent perspectives d'une ville qui pourrait être n'importe lequelle.
