Interregnum

The eyes of the world are watching after the death of a dictator. Albanian artist Adrian Paci constructed Interregnum using footage from official state and national television broadcast archives. Spanning an entire century, the film connects different Communist societies through the shared language of grief. Shifting from close-ups to wider views of the masses, the film makes us witness to a crescendo where the manipulation of these masses and the depersonalisation of individual identity become increasingly evident.

Diana

10 January1946, the antennae of Camp Evans emit a short signal with very great power towards the Moon. A little more than two seconds later, they capture a slight echo. This was the first success for Project Diana, two years after its launch. Giving form(s) — in all the senses that this term may include — to what is invisible is at the heart of Simon Ripoll-Hurier’s practice. From amateur radio operator clubs to ghost hunters, from bird watchers to the drums that could send signals on battle fields, the challenge here is to successfully establish contact with a distant, absent being, by using much more mysterious means than those inhabiting our daily lives. So, although the machine appears in diverse forms, the challenge is probably more linked to the immaterial, to the silence or to the background noises that constantly disturb the efforts and attempts

Art As A Voice

Art As A Voice is a feature-length documentary examining how five female artists use their artwork to effect change. Exploring their history, challenges, art form, influences and experiences that led them to activism, the documentary will provide an understanding of the realities of life as a survivor of domestic abuse and sexual assault. Though the film will tell each story honestly, mixing visuals of the artist at work, voiceover interviews describing events and dramatic actor re-enactments, the overall message will highlight how each artist has turned something so ugly into something beautiful that inspires hope.
