‘Waiting Working Hours’ (2019, 16’) - Ben De Raes
In Waiting Working Hours we scroll through a digital representation of a Brussels’ neighbourhood that seems to be frozen in timel. Using Google Street View images, De Raes constructs a dialogue on labour and economy by engaging with the day workers who are waiting for work and a better future along the Diksmuidelaan.
‘Maelbeek’ (2020, 15’) - Ismaël Joffroy Chandoutis
Through a remarkable testimony, Chandoutis depicts the terrorist attack in the Brussels’ subway in Maelbeek. Via a world-created-in-cinema he explores the porous limits of what can (not) be imag(in)ed. He shows the devastation of this unforgettable event in an almost immaterial way and paints a portrait of a woman who is trying to move on with her life.
+ Film of choice: ‘Wishing Well’ (2018, 13’) - Sylvia Schedelbauer
The forest as a metaphor and as a place for personal transformation. Wishing Well expresses a flickering walk in the woods through the eyes of a child. It is a psychedelic journey that is hypnotic through its experimental use of colour, rhythm, light and sound.
