CLAIR OBSCUR
André ColinetThis experimental film combines a lot of different stories to a confusing whole. The camera technique is kept simple and straightforward. The dominant story is that of a young woman trying to write. Out of pure frustration she isolates herself from her girlfriend. The female writer goes to a crazy writer for advice. He pretends to be writing, on a typewriter without pages...
THE CRY
Ria PacquéeIn various outdoor locations, a cry is performed. As the locations differ – under trees, in a rough wooden structure, in a field – the distance of the performer from the camera also differs, altering the volume and proximity of the sound. The performer also varies the vocal qualities of the cry, including its length, tone, pitch and volume...
HET LEEG
Didier Volckaert"Don Quichote never really existed. However, in La Mancha, Spain, you can still find his traces. I once read in a travel guide that ‘there is absolutely nothing to be seen in this area of Spain’. My camera captured that ‘absolutely nothing’ and I took it home. Made on S8 and blown up to 16mm."

PAUL VAN BOSSTRAETEN, CULTIVATEUR D’ORCHIDÉES
Jacques LennepVideo, apart from photography and holography, was but one of the media Lennep made use of during the 1970s, as he was adding on to his ‘museum of men’. His human models were derived from all layers of the populations, but they shared a common obsession for collecting things or, at the very, least an unusual passion...
