Benigno

There are people who spend their entire lives in the same house, their childhood home where their family history rests. Benigno, at eighty-eight years old, still sleeps, eats, and dreams in the home where he was born, the home that is rooted in the earth to reach for the sky. The house stands alone, alongside Benigno and his tortoise Totó, adrift in the limbo of memories, the ritual of daily life, and the anticipation of the final day. Adjacent to the house is his vegetable garden, which he visits daily to tend to his chickens and work the soil with the seeds inherited from his ancestors, which he ceremoniously catalogs and preserves.

Winter of Machines

Winter of Machines juxtaposes the post-industrial landscape of Charleroi with the legacy of Futurism. Fascinated by Fernand Steven​’s mural Evocation of Chemistry (1936 – 1938), which celebrates science, industry, and progress, filmmaker Jan Locus explores the contrast between this utopian vision and the contemporary struggles of the Belgian city, marked by poverty and unemployment. By alternating between images of Charleroi and the promise inscribed in the mural, time seems suspended. Els Viaene​’s sound design deepens this ghostly atmosphere. Refusing to choose between a broken promise and an uncertain future, Winter of Machines breathes both melancholy and anticipation.
