English language colour remake of Guy Debord's avant-garde classic from 1952. Like the original this film has no images, but whereas Debord's consisted of black with silence and white with dialogue in French, mine has black with silence and TV colour bars with dialogue in English. The original dialogue is translated and in a number of places also rewritten. However, while Debord had five voices reading his script, I have one voice with an additional spoken indication of which voice is speaking.

National Geographic holds court in the pantheon of magazine journalism for many reasons, the biggest of which is its breathtaking photography. But what makes a picture perfect? What goes into its creation?

The subject of the film is censorship in the broadest sense, and the narrator and guide of this story is the non-existent Mr. N. - a limited, though not humorous dignitary-censor. His inner monologue gives the whole film a certain course, and also "gives credibility" to the statements of artists, critics and officials of the time. In the documentary, almost all the prominent directors, screenwriters and critics of the post-war 50 years speak about artistic freedom and its restriction. We listen to Czesław Miłosz, Jerzy Stefan Stawiński, Janusz Morgenstern, Maria Kaniewska, Kazimierz Kutz, Janusz Głowacki, Feliks Falk, Wojciech Marczewski, Marek Piwowski, Janusz Kijowski, Wiesław Saniewski, Marek Ryszard Groński and Krzysztof Zanussi. There were also reviewers: Krzysztof Teodor Toeplitz and Zdzislaw Pietrasik.

On the one hand the soundtrack is heard of three decades ago, on the other the voices of musicians today. The turntable is mounted at the foot of a block in the Bronx. It is the end of a Block Party, a ghetto party centring on hip-hop. In the same image those artists are brought together who stood at the cradle of this musical genre.

The orca of Monterey Bay, the largest marine sanctuary in the United States, is at the top of the food chain, unrivaled. This video takes us into the secret world of the Monterey orcas, where hunting seals, dolphins, and whales is the order of the day.

The pasture-raised, mutagenic brain-child of bio-artist Adam Zaretsky and his collaborators, the power Farm or pFarm synergizes the power dynamics (and massages the ethical boundaries) of the Fetish Organic Biotech. The pFarmers pursue various lines of experimental research: producing hormonally elevated dominas, isolating the human gene for submissiveness, and of course bringing their Unconvention Organic GMOs from lab bench to medical bedside. Laughably implausible attempts to mix Green Movement Grassroots Agriculture, High Tech GMO Pharming and unabashed Sado-Masochistic fetish retrainings, pFarm is an erotically charged cinematic experiment in post-human vivocentrism.

An homage to two lyrical surrealists of the cinematic collage, Joseph Cornell and Jean Painleve. Made entirely of science & nature footage, through a process of subtracting the original expository devices, and emphasizing the oneiric beauty and confusion of scale, where the microscopic is analogous to the astrologic, and the insertion of unexpected diversions and creatures creates nocturnal associations and uncanny perceptions. A work more alchemical than clinical, focused on decay and regeneration, with a hypnotic soundtrack by Messiaen. – BE

Claymation short film.

Shot in Australia.

"Almost everyone in our village drinks," "everyone who lives here is drunk and alcoholic," "they steal all sorts of things, then they sell them, they drink everything." This is how the little residents of the Ivanovo region talk about their village. They talk casually, not seeing anything special in it. No one, neither children nor adults, is surprised that two boys, abandoned by an alcoholic mother, live nearby. The children run the farm themselves, keep goats, and repair the roof. Another thing is strange to the villagers — the boys do not drink or smoke. This is really rare in the Russian countryside.

A renewing pedagogical experience, an assembly school model within a public school. Julián Pavón, a young university student, shot a 16mm short film with an old wind-up camera in 1976. about the experience and projects it in the different cultural athenaeums of Madrid. 25 years later, Julián Pavón himself searches through former students, former teachers and theorists, the echoes of that movement and its reflection in another current experience .

It's Magic Time follows the vicissitudes in and around 'multi-channel experience marketing company' Magic Minds, brainchild of the irrepressibly optimistic ('On moratorium day, I play the piano') entrepreneur Erik Bartels. In a time when many good digital things must come to an end, this company converted its office for 3.6 million euros. Despite 'experience domes', a roof club and workout facilities, the relaxed Magic Minds atmosphere is soon replaced by rigorous commercialism. Sales targets and utilisation rates are not met, creditors are on their doorstep, and moneylender Nesbic is making things hot for them. After the first round of dismissals, the company gets in a free fall that leads to the verge of bankruptcy. Filmmaker Marco Zuilhof registered the developments at first hand. Negotiations, quarrels, dismissals and Bartels's fits of rage: Zuilhof was present. This makes It's Magic Time a stirring and disconcertingly concrete drama in a world of brand values and hot air.

A desanimation from Coffn Souza

Thriller opens with the scene of a house in a forest (reminiscent of Tarkovsky) in which a young man in farm clothes bearing a suffering demeanour tends sheep and a young woman in vampiric goth-garb gathers bracken for a fire. They do not look at one another. The soundtrack hums eerily. The young woman looks up towards an upstairs window of the house. Cut to an interior where a younger girl lies daydreaming on her bed. The man enters the house, turns the handle of her door. Cut to a close-up of her porcelain face wide-eyed in terror. The suspense dissipates as he turns away without opening the door. Cut to the girl as she lies back down on her bed, an enigmatic smile on her face. (Some critics have read her expression as relief, perhaps at some averted abuse, but her expression could also be read as triumph.)
