Faszination klebt an der fremd-vertrauten Vaterfigur und vermischt sich mit aufkeimender Sehnsucht nach Nähe. Blindes Vortasten, Erforschen und Beobachten. Ein riskantes Spiel aus Ablehnung und Zuneigung, dessen Anspannung sich schließlich entlädt und die fragile Beziehung nachhaltig in Frage stellt.

1994 in Jakarta, Indonesien geboren; aufgewachsen in Köln-Holweide; absolvierte 2021 seinen B. A. in Filmregie an der ifs – internationale filmschule; ist als Filmvorführer in der Filmpalette Köln anzutreffen; arbeitet aktuell an dem Drehbuch für seinen Debütfilm TOTE KÖRPER RENNEN NICHT welches von der Film- und Medienstiftung gefördert wird

Les pelages bruns, beiges, blancs et noirs se fondent à l’ocre de la terre et des murs inondés de soleil. Calme à l’heure du repos, l’endroit devient assourdissant quand vient le moment de nourrir les bêtes, qui entament alors leur concert d’aboiements. Dans le refuge pour chiens errants d’Agadir au Maroc, plus de 750 animaux trouvent aide et protection en attendant d’être adoptés par une famille. Chaque journée ressemble à la suivante, rythmée par la seule distraction des repas. Avec un regard aussi empathique qu’alerte aux jeux de lumière et de textures, Halima Ouardiri observe la chorégraphie qui régit la vie de la population animale, dont le quotidien suspendu évoque l’attente bien plus tragique de millions d’êtres humains à la recherche d’une terre d’accueil.

Halima Ouardiri est cinéaste. Suisso-Marocaine, elle travaille entre le Canada, le Maroc et la Suisse. Elle a obtenu un B.A. en Science Politique et un B.F.A. en Production filmique à la Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema à Montréal (Canada). Son premier film, "Mokhtar", tourné en Super 16mm, a reçu un très bon accueil dans une centaine de festivals internationaux tels que le TIFF – Toronto International Film Festival (Canada); la Berlinale, Berlin (Allemagne); le Festival international du film de Rotterdam (Pays-Bas); et le Festival international du film de Dubaï (Émirats arabes unis), avant d’être diffusé sur France 3, sur CBC et sur la TSR. Le film a remporté de nombreux prix, dont deux Prix de la Meilleure Réalisation et cinq Prix du Meilleur Film. Tourné dans un petit village du sud du Maroc, le film met en scène les villageois, beaucoup de chèvres et un hibou. De tous les interprètes, seul le hibou est un acteur professionnel. Aujourd’hui, Halima Ouardiri passe au long-métrage avec "Nico", un récit initiatique inspiré de son expérience comme garde du corps à Genève (Suisse), sa ville natale, et avec le développement du scénario de "La Camel Driving School".

A woman is leaving the country. A house cat is faced with an abrupt change : he is moving to a new home. A young girl roams the city in a taxi. The fine line between running away and leaving everything behind.

Nour Ouayda (b. 1991 in Canada to Lebanese parents) lives in Beirut, Lebanon. She graduated from IESAV – USJ in June 2014 with a degree in performing arts and an emphasis on audio-visual practices.

Alongside directing, Nour works as a cinematographer and editor on short films and videos.

Vous êtes maintenant dans le hall principal du Musée National à Beirut. Un garde vous rappelle que vous êtes encouragés à toucher les objets archéologiques. Une voix dans votre casque vous suggère de lécher la pierre. Vous êtes maintenant face à un trou dans le mur dans la partie inférieure gauche d'une mosaïque. La voix du casque vous indique que ce trou a été causé par un sniper. Par curiosité, vous appelez le 1-9-9-1 afin d'écouter le reste de l'histoire.

Nour Ouayda (née en 1991) est cinéaste, critique de cinéma et programmeuse. Elle est la co-éditrice du journal de cinéma en ligne basé à Montréal Hors Champ ainsi que la gestionnaire des partenariats du Metropolis Art Cinema à Beyrouth et la coordinatrice du projet Cinematheque Beirut.

Dans les "ghost estates" de Cork en Irlande, lotissements inachevés ou partiellement inoccupés suite à la récession des années 2000, des enfants et adolescents se réapproprient les espaces vides par des jeux qu`ils réinventent.

Diplômé de l`Ecole Nationale Supérieure d`Arts Paris-Cergy et d`un Master de Cinéma de La Sorbonne Nouvelle, Nicolas Carrier réalise des films qui explorent le potentiel de fiction des temps morts. Dans des espaces isolés et abandonnés, il crée des situations d`ennui et de jeu qui, en évoquant oubli, hantise et reste, interrogent notre relation au temps dans notre monde quotidien. Né en 1981, vit et travaille à Paris.

Une ancienne école utilisée par une association d`artistes dans les années 90 et 2000 et avant d`être récupérée par la ville pour devenir un nouvel espace de gentrification.

Diplômé de l`Ecole Nationale Supérieure d`Arts Paris-Cergy et de La Sorbonne Nouvelle en Etudes Cinématographiques, Nicolas Carrier développe son travail aux frontières du cinéma, du tourisme et de l`ethnographie. Au travers de films elliptiques, de pièces de found footage et de photographies, il explore notre relation au temps et à la mémoire en créant temporalités flottantes et répétitives, fictions minimales, rituels ou jeux. Inspiré par l`histoire des lieux qu`il utilise comme terrain de jeux, son travail révèle les traces des humains et de la nature et leur manière de se les approprier. Il questionne les thèmes des loisirs, de l`exploration et de l`animisme. Né en 1981, vit à Paris.

Durant la colonisation japonaise de la Corée, cette école enrôlait des orphelins dans l’armée occupante. Maintenant résidence d’artistes, on murmure qu’elle est hantée. En jouant avec des calques d’images artistiques, historiques et touristiques, trois jeunes coréens réveillent les souvenirs et le passé de ce lieu.

Le duo d’artistes Marie Ouazzani (née en 1991) et Nicolas Carrier (né en 1981) s’est formé en 2015. Entreprenant des voyages qui les mènent dans des monuments et des paysages historiques, ils interagissent avec le contexte de ces lieux pour mettre en avant leur mémoire à travers des images qu’ils recontextualisent. Leurs installations, films et éditions confrontent des objets culturels pour investir et enquêter sur leur potentiel spirituel et fantasmagorique. Par la manipulation d’images, leur travail propose une réflexion critique autour des représentations induites par notre époque.

"Exposition périphérique" est un voyage en voiture autour du périphérique extérieur parisien et des villes qui le bordent. Tel un inventaire des plantes qui habitent ce paysage de proche banlieue en pleine transformation du Grand Paris, cette fiction suit des jardiniers qui prennent soin des mauvaises herbes et plantes en pot, comme autant de propositions de résistance à l'urbanisation, et qui vivent dans les interstices laissés par la densification urbaine.

Vivant ensemble depuis 2015, Marie Ouazzani & Nicolas Carrier sont attentifs aux détails et aux ressources du quotidien. Qu`ils séjournent en Asie de l'Est, au Moyen-Orient ou en Europe, ils explorent chaque contexte à la recherche de fictions où se mêlent pollution, fantômes, ruines et économie. A partir de gestes et de situations simples, leurs vidéos et installations confrontent environnement et urbanisation afin de rééquilibrer les tensions de ces paysages. Récemment, leur travail a été présenté aux centres d'art de Mains d'Oeuvres, de la Villa Arson et du 3 bis f, au 61e Salon de Montrouge, à la 5e Biennale d'Odessa et à Darat al Funun en Jordanie.

Cet essai/fiction expérimental présente une rencontre entre: -des moments typiques de la vie de couple ( homme autrichien et femme russe à Vienne) -fragments de la vie de Sigmund Freud (sur la mémoire, l'oublie et la répression) -la relation de Vienne et son histoire avec la deuxième guerre mondiale) Ce qui crée, comme l'a fait Freud, un parallèle entre l'inconscient collectif et individuel, et indirectement, questionne la coïncidence que Freud, qui était juif, aie passé la plupart de sa vie à Vienne et y développa la plupart de ses théories sur la mémoire et l'oublie avant la Guerre. Important: Le film peut être vu avec ou sans sous-titre (options sur le DVD). Le film est en anglais, et les sous-titres en Allemand (ou français). Les sous-titres ne sont pas un traduction "classique" et proposent 3 différents types de relations à l'image et au son. Elles sont: - une traduction correcte. - ce que le personnage pense, consciemment ou non, mais ne le communique pas par le langage. (en d'autres mots, un texte parallèle) - un autre sens complètement différent (sans aucun rapport) qui pourrait aller avec les même images. Originalement inspiré par le manque de fiabilité des sous-titres, "Of Vienna, Love, Language and Forgetting" est une réflexion sur le langage, la polysémie des images d'un point de vue formel et une expérience sur les narrations parallèles.

A portrait of an abandoned public swimming facility located in Accra, Ghana set on the Riviera. The Riviera at one time was an upscale development, consisting of luxury high-rises and five star hotels. Since the 1970s, the Riviera has fallen into a disheveled state. This short documentary was inspired by afro-futurist myths propagated by the underground Detroit-based band Drexciya. They suggest that Drexciya is a mythical underwater subcontinent populated by the unborn children of African women thrown overboard during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. These children have adapted and evolved to breathe underwater.

Akosua Adoma Owusu (b. 1984) is a Ghanaian-American filmmaker, producer and cinematographer whose films address the collision of identities. Interpreting the notion of "double consciousness" coined by sociologist and civil rights activist W.E.B.

This epistolary short film invites us into the unsettling life of a young Ghanaian man struggling to reconcile his love for his mother with his love for same-sex desire amid the increased tensions incited by same-sex politics in Ghana. Focused on a letter that is ultimately filled with hesitation and uncertainty, Reluctantly Queer both disrobes and questions what it means to be queer for this man in this time and space.

?Art Karaokes? Proposition pour le premier projet artistique karaoké par Ivan Ozetski. Le concept du projet : Mon idée était de transformer la recherche de ma vie et de mon travail dans un médium qui ne soit pas considéré comme un médium artistique. J?ai commencé à utiliser le karaoké comme médium, qui marchait parfaitement pour quelque chose qui pouvait aussi être interprété comme de la propagande pour ma recherche. Avec cette propagande, j?étais en fait en train de construire la base pour mes idées de la manière la plus simple possible, comme un peintre qui a besoin d?une bonne toile. Voici, afin de faire la différence entre le karaoké et mon ?uvre, un court historique de l?invention de ce dernier. Les véritables vidéos de karaokés ont une existence obscure, il s?agit en fait de répliques d'originaux, mais puisque leur raison d?être est de chanter par dessus, ou d?être présentée en publicité, elles sont arrangées en ce sens. Ce sont des productions privées, donc elles doivent faire du bénéfice avec le plus petit investissement possible. Elles ont pluseurs langues dans le sous-menu et de cette manière, on peut chanter dessus dans tous les pays. Je pense que le principal concept du karaoké est CHANT&VENTE !!! Mes vidéos n?ont pas pour but d?être vendues et ne sont absolument pas commerciales, je peux donc y utiliser n?importe quelle chanson avec le prétexte du projet artistique. Juste pour expliquer la différence entre le véritable karaoké et mon travail artistique, les véritables vidéos des karaokés sont très stéréotypées dans tous les pays du monde : Vietnam, Chine, Thaïlande, il s?agit presque d?un concept et pour les créer, il y a peu de règles, on peut en rigoler en en faisant sept commandements : 1. Rendre la production aussi bon marché que possible, 2. Utiliser des vidéos amateur pour le décor, 3. Mettre une femme seule pour les chansons tristes, 4. Choisir et créer une réplique d?une chanson populaire, 5. Mettre quelques chansons joyeuses, 6. Mettre des images de villes connues en décors, ou des plages de sable fin, 7. Le sujet doit être très joyeux, très amoureux, ou très triste. Mes vidéos de karaokés utilisent ces lois, mais pas toujours. Mon travail contient des question personnelles sur un artiste inconnu, ou sur les livres d?histoire de l?art. Avec mes textes, en sous-titre du karaoké, j?essaie de commenter le travail d?un artiste particulier, ou s?il/ elle appartient à l'histoire de l?art, construire au hasard, sans approche logique.

The video ?I Can Sing? shows an Islamic woman who wears headscarf, singing a song in front of a new settlement buildings in Ankara, where the urban transformation process is tangible. In some aspects the video is related with the people who are forcing their way between the minarets that have traditionally dominated the city. Against the backtop of the recontructed home, a headscarf-wearing Anatolian woman sways to a lament. Her lips to move. But the soundtrack is Jeff Buckley?s bitter, defiant version of Leonard Cohen?s classic ?Hallelujah?. ?Well it goes like this / The fourth, the fifth / The minor falls and the major shift?: The major keys, characteristic o Western music, become a symbol of uprooting; traditional Turkish music relies on the softer, minor tonalities. Swaying to ?Hallelujah?, the woman spreads her arms to the sky, lays her hands on her heart. What god is she singing to? The staging alternates between praise and lament, its reference to the global idiom of karaoke giving it an ironic touch.

Ferhat Ozgür, a Turkish artist, seeks to understand the relationship between the leader and the people in Conquest (2016), a two-channel video that documents a massive rally of Erdogan supporters at a stadium in Istanbul. The rally, which takes place on the anniversary of the capture of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks in 1453, encourages the attendees (and those watching at home) to understand themselves as players in another spectacular triumph, fulfilling their historic destiny. In Ozgür's video, shots of attendees are interspersed with footage taken from the Turkish blockbuster Conquest 1453 (2012), which glorifies the Ottoman empire and Sultan Mehmet II's siege while expunging non-Turks from his army. In Conquest, as the crowd assembles on one screen, on the other shows Ozgür editing footage on his computer, casually splicing together shots of individuals in different settings and excising others, altering the scene in order to achieve a particular effect on the viewer-who might confuse the artifice for reality, and even turn the former into the latter.

"Metamorphosis Chat" cites the narrative frame of Turkish soap operas. The artist?s mother, who has never worn a headscarf, meets a neighbour a teacher in modern dress, for tea. The two woman decide to switch roles and begin to Exchange their clothes to become one another. Artist influence as director recedes as the women, letting themselves be carried away by the merriment of dress up, become their own authors. Their hearty friendliness, their opennes in dealing with what might otherwise be embarrising, their giggling at each other and themselves ?all poke fun at the fear and agrresive moralizing other found in debates on symbols with religious connotations.

Binder. Many people modify, hide, show off or retouch parts of their bodies in order to have certain social treatment. The experimental video ?binder? is an interpretation of the look and feel of trans FTM (female to male) whom want to be treated by everyone, in the role, which they desire. They are finding their own physical and social comfort by modifying a particular zone of their body. The routine fashion for Michael is to put on and take of the ?binder? daily in order to hide his chest and modify his body.

In 1964 Robert Gardner filmed the documentary ?Dead Birds?, this film explored the Dani people of New Guinea, one of the last areas in the World to be colonized at that time. Gardner was knowing for his work in visual anthropology and ethnographic documentary. ?Dead Birds? was criticized in the anthropological community for its inauthenticity, Gardner edited the sound and he recreated battle scenes. They also said that the movie did not make sense, because he broked the distance with the portrayeds. ?Shadows of New Guinea? makes a step in this inauthenticity. Andrés Pachón makes a rotoscoping (redrawn manually frame by frame) on original film`s fragments, creating shadows to the protagonists. The nature where actions are developed, the original context of New Guinea highland whose referent was recorded on camera, it becomes a huge background, a trompe l`oeil revealed by shadows. These shadows, and its consequent fictional effect, want to disclose the fantasy contained in the european imaginary of an exotic and tribal world. The shadows disclosed a background, a wall, that separates us from the ?other?.

The piece "Ocean" was originally a conceptually designed, visual statement for a song by dutch musician, Olivier Heim. Looking for a connection between lyrics and aesthetics, we found main inspiration in the masterpiece by Alain Resnains "Last year in Marienbad". As we didn't want to copy and repeat exactly the same sequences of shots, we were just searching for an universal code, which made that kind of poetics legendary and original. The most important became, how to transfer contemporary sound and looks (meaning ; cinematography, style) into something classic and the other way round. What makes the classics attractive? We consider elegance in filmmaking as our motto and something that should be popular again.
