This short film is made of archival footage shot at the Yalta conference (1945) - a historic meeting between Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin shortly before the end of the WWII. The film mimics the style of a TV documentary and shows behind-the-scenes of the conference through the eyes of a fictitious character, whose possible involvement in espionage and unexplained disappearance comprise the mystery, which the film attempts to resolve, - albeit unsuccessfully. The fictional narrative provides possible reasons and motivations behind the random collection of recordings in the original footage, weaving together several important historical themes associated with the Yalta conference: the deep cultural divide between the Soviets and the Western Allies; the eavesdropping and espionage attempts made by the negotiators, and the premonitions of the upcoming Cold War.

André Iten est Directeur du Centre Saint-Gervais Genève pour l`Image Contemporaine. Soucieux de préserver le patrimoine artistique que constituaient les bandes réalisées par des artistes dans le courant des années 60 et 70, il fut à l`origine d`un plan de restauration, catalogage et archivage des bandes, plan initié en 1990 qui permit de révéler la richesse de cette collection de travaux vidéos à travers un programme historique intitulé "Les pionniers de la vidéo en Suisse", face visible de ce vaste plan de restauration financé par le Fonds municipal d`art contemporain de la ville de Genève. En 1998 il donnait naissance au Centre pour l`image contemporaine, lieu consacré aux activités liées à l`image, dans le souci de donner corps à plusieurs années de réflexion sur les évolutions de l`image et d`activités portées par son engagement artistique.

L`atelier de Vladimir, artiste-graveur, à Kiev, Ukraine, semble une boule hermétique. Pourtant le monde extérieur se fait entendre jusqu`ici. Qu` attend Vladimir de la révolution?

Scènes de vie quotidienne au bord du Danube, en Serbie ; il ne se passe rien ou presque pour ces hommes échoués au port en même temps que les bateaux. Guidé par un protagoniste aussi attachant qu’un peu naïf et décalé, on parle économie, papillons de nuit, on parle des vieilles chansons de jeunesse, à la mode dans les années 1970. Un film sensible d’observation, d’une société en suspens.

Stefan IVANČIĆ was born in Belgrade, SFR Yugoslavia, in 1985. From 1991 to 2009 he lived in Barcelona, Spain, where he got his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. After living for 18 years far away from his birthplace, he went back to what was left of Yugoslavia in 2009, and graduated in film directing at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade, Serbia, in 2013. He has written film criticism for a number of Spanish and Serbian publications, he is a member of FIPRESCI and he was a founding member and editor-in-chief of the Spanish web-magazines Lumière (www.elumiere.net) and Contrapicado. He has collaborated in several collective books on cinema and has worked as a programmer and publications editor at Cinema City International Film Festival Novi Sad, Pančevo Film Festival and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria International Film Festival.

Stefan is currently producing the feature film The Load by Ognjen Glavonić, a Hubert Bals Fund, CineMart and Connecting Cottbus-supported project.

The video project is dedicated to the current political reality of the war between Russia and Ukraine, in which a lot of people are involved. On September 21, 2022, Vladimir Putin announced a "partial" mobilization. Many of our relatives and friends who did not want to participate in the war found themselves under the threat of being forcibly drawn into the military action. Many managed to escape and avoid this fate, many had to abandon their families to do so, leaving them in uncertainty about the future. Daria and Polina, observing these events both from the inside and from the outside (Polina emigrated to Thailand at the beginning of the war), brought another perspective to their observation - that of surveillance cameras, indifferent and accurate witnesses and instruments of human manipulation, depending on who uses them. Almost a year has passed since the mobilization. We fear the second wave of mobilization and say goodbye in advance to those of our friends who still remain in Russia. We are talking about things that are forbidden to talk about in “our” country, because it's our way of resistance.

Daria Ivans is a xenomedia artist from Saint Petersburg specializing in the magical analysis of digital algorithms, beloved daughter of dispersed Y2K melancholy, interface therapist-researcher of molten Web 1.0, gif-jockey of dig-artifacts and amulets for forging extensions of connections between worlds and points of contemporaneity, cyber-switcher/-scanner of sticky image mutations. She is a bachelor of philosophy, master of "Art & Science." Polina Orlikova (aka Popo) is a young musician currently living and creating in Bangkok. Her interests and productions are laid around discovering and exploring young genres. In her latest path she is looking for the intersections between club and experimental sounds.

«Ce film est né de mon amour pour la musique africaine contemporaine. Je collectionne des enregistrements de cette musique depuis une vingtaine d`années en me concentrant particulièrement sur la musique des anciennes colonies portugaises Angola, Mozambique, Guinée-Bissau et Cap Vert. Un jour, alors que j`étais en train de classer mes enregistrements de musique angolaise, j`ai découvert que je possédais six versions différentes d`une chanson intitulée Muxima. C`est ainsi que le film est né. » Alfredo Jaar

Alfredo Jaar est né en 1956 à Santiago de Chili. Il a remporté le prestigieux MacArthur Fellowship, ainsi que d?autres prix. Il a étudié l?architecture et la réalisation. Depuis 1982, il vit et travaille à New York. Son travail a été exposé dans des expositions individuelles et de groupe dans les musées du monde entier, dont le New Museum of Contemporary Art de New York, le Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art et au Moderna Museet de Stockholm. Jaar a également présenté son travail aux biennales de Venise, de São Paulo, de Johannesburg, de Sydney, d?Istanbul, et de Kwangju. Son travail a été exposé en 2002 à la Documenta de Kassel avec son installation « Lament of the Images ». Alfredo Jaar est un artiste sans compromis. Ses installations combinent des éléments photographiques, architecturaux, et des images documentaires, et explorent les relations complexes développées entre les nations et les soit disant pays du tiers-monde. Dans son travail, Alfredo Jaar suit et souligne les ironies et les injustices qui caractérisent ces relations, et met à jour la recherche systématique du profit qui y sont sous jacentes.

THE GREEN SERPENT nous emmène dans les profondeurs de l`ivresse: boire de la vodka comme expérience transcendantale. Le serpent vert mord et la pénombre se fait. La beauté de la vie devient alors indissociable d`un vide dévastateur, où l`inspiration et la destruction sont symétriques. Durant ce voyage cinématographique à travers l`hiver russe, loin des images de carte postale, nous rencontrons l`acteur Aleksandr Bashirov, le poète Mstislav Biserov et le physicien Nikolai Budnev. Ils nous dévoilent leur relation à la vodka, le combat intérieur et la poursuite d`esprit divins réveillés par la boisson. Ce Cinépoème abrupt explore le potentiel de la vodka à étendre le monde hors du cadre de la religion et du matérialisme. THE GREEN SERPENT est une méditation sur l`acte de boire, moins un hymne aux piliers de bars qu`une ode à tous ceux qui cherchent le merveilleux en espérant trouver l`extase.

Benny Jaberg works as an independent filmmaker and is currently developing several concepts and scripts for documentary and fiction films.

Selon l'artiste, l'une des belles choses dans les films, c'est qu?on peut les garder à distance. Mais « The Scenic Route », semble déborder de l'écran, en mettant continuellement en danger les lignes de démarcation.

a loft 16 min., silent, color, 2010 computer assistance; Nisi Jacobs A 3-D glimpse of a downtown Manhattan artist?s loft about to give birth to new artist?s lofts, which is odd, seeing that dentists and the minor hirelings of high finance are likely to be the new renters and buyers. Also odd is the absence of any 3-D technology.

excerpt from THE SKY SOCIALIST stratified A digital visit in 2009 to where we, Flo and I, had been in 1964/65. Young people of today, take my word there`s no exaggerating how vivid, of the moment, whizbang and splendidly new 1964 and 65 were in their time. True, I was entering my thirties but Flo, my child-bride, was turning 23. Underground Cinema had gotten momentarily hot just as my 16mm camera was stolen. I recoiled from the throng pushing to enter the circle of cheap celebrity and switched to 8mm. I then filmed THE SKY SOCIALIST, a sunny feature during the time of US assault upon the Vietnamese people -why? because they were there, they were "yellow". and profit margins couldn`t be better, and afterwards Flo and I struggled to make a decent 16mm. blow-up, yet to happen. The purpose of cinema as I understood it then was to lie, in order to make history bearable. The lie, however, was to be obvious enough so as to allude to the truth; film was a lie that invited seeing through, it was like religion but with a more of a wink. Flo then became a stand-in for Anne Frank, while The Muse Of Cinema flew to the rescue with a happy ending mostly because she knew doing so gave her a chance to look good. Our days were permeated with the transcendent music of Olivier Messiaen and Charles Ives and Arnold Schoenberg and so, naturally, was this perfectly self-indulgent movie. For this return visit some of Messiaen can still be heard, contending with the supremely hip sensibility of Michael Schumacher.

Epacta est le mot Latin pour le nombre de jours qui doivent être calculés pour synchroniser les calendriers lunaires et solaires. L?année solaire est de 365 jours et l?année lunaire est de 354 jours, il faut donc habituellement 11 jours pour les mettre en phase. J?ai pris des sons d?instruments lunaires, de cordes et de passerelles en métal, crées par les petits tiraillements des bateaux sur les docks dans les ports, mais crées aussi par la gravitation lunaire sur nos corps aqueux. L?audio de EPACTA LUNAE, A DAY AND A HALF, dérivé d?enregistrements naturels sur plusieurs niveaux dans un lit d?accords synthétisés. EPACTA LUNAE, A DAY AND A HALF est le premier poème vidéo sonore qui est inclus dans un projet beaucoup plus large nommé THE MOON?S GUITAR, COLLABORATION WITH THE TIDES..

FROM THE HORSE?S MOUTH (I CAN PRODUCE -PRONOUNCE- NUCLEAR), Nisi Jacobs, Video, 11min., 2005. Commissionné par Maya Stendhal Gallery, New York City pour l?exposition VITAL SIGNS 2005. FROM THE HORSE?S MOUTH a aussi un second titre : (I CAN PRODUCE -PRONOUNCE-- NUCLEAR) qui est le c?ur de la motivation de sa création en tant que moment improvisé alors que Laura Bush lisait un monologue comique écrit à l?avance en 2005 lors du Dîner du Correspondant à la Maison Blanche, à Washington D.C.dans lequel elle fait un lapsus et échangé ?produit? avec ?prononce?. L?effet est sidérant car c?est son mari qui, à la table du banquet à la sourire jusqu?aux oreilles en écoutant ses blagues, a oublié de publier le communiqué sur les armes de destruction massives et qui en a fait sa raison pour envahir l?Irak. Les images de confort et l?effet du gag de dégageant visuellement intensifient cette toxicité maladive et cette hypocrisie qui engloutit la salle et ses 2 500 politiciens, journalistes, et médias ?managers? qui se réjouissent de ce trait d?esprit préfabriqué et qui en même temps s?impliquent eux-mêmes dans les crimes du mari de Laura.

Here seen in stereo, Leeds Bridge (U.K.) is again active in deep space. Other 3-D comments regarding the rise of cinema are made. A 6`4 man among a 5`2 population, this giant "vanished" on the way to the patent office, quite possibly a feat of wizardry (skullduggery?) by The Wizard Of Menlo Park, Thomas Edison. Suspicions remain but now Edison is also gone and there`s only the film-fragment (originally over 200 frames) left to investigate. Also available as a Polaroid two-projector installation.

Frappée par la facilité avec laquelle quelqu?un d?aussi expressif et articulé que mon père à perdre son aptitude à parler en une nuit à cause d?une crises cardiaque, j?ai commence à filmer le texte de la ville. Le son enregistré est un montage de dialectes fabriqués par Peter Rose quand je l?ai enregistré lire un poème que j?ai écrit et mélangé avec une lamentation altérée synthétiquement. Des moments mutilés de l?écriture provenant de jours, au hasard, après la crise cardiaque se meuvent en des blocs de mots formels dans un environnement jouant entre la langage en tant que symbole, le langage en tant qu?image, et le langage en tant qu?expérience.

YOSHIKO 5`, 2007, DV, A/V By Nisi Jacobs YOSHIKO, collage d'images volées et de vidéos auto-produites, est un hommage à mon amie de toujours, Yoshiko Masuzawa. Yoshika a émigré aux Etats-Unis au début des années soixante et habitait dans l'appartement du dessous. Elle a vécut pendant la guerre enfant et m'apprit des manières importantes; la seule fois où je la vis fâchée ce fût quand, enfants, nous avions commencé à jouer et à lancer du riz à table. Elle nous dit que le riz la garda en vit, elle et sa famille pendant la guerre, que c'était précieux et qu'il ne fallait pas le jeter. Comme les autres membres de sa famille, Yoshika souffrait, et cela avec une grâce immense, d un cancer du colon, pendant les dernières années. Elle a été récemment diagnostiquée avec une forme de cancer terminal et emménagea dans un hospice. Ce film est une tentative de conserver le regard et l'admiration que je porte à son esprit de tigresse, son humour et son humanité gracieuse. -Nisi Jacobs, 10/17/07
