Contra by Vicent Gisbert Soler (Spain) DV, 3'43'', 2009 Contra is a reflection on the fragility of contemporary man in his present environment, charting the loss of conscience that results in the moment of bonding our spirit to things material, the perceived reality of the senses. Use, transform, create, manipulate, destroy... actions that can form behaviours governed only by individual and immediate interests. Then we impose without respect, distracting ourselves from the negative consequences on our environment and ourselves. www.vicentgisbert.com |

In Transit by Reinhold Bidner (Austria) Beta, 6', 2009 In his video In Transit Bidner takes up this phenomenon. At first, there’s a painting on the wall and a man sitting in front of it, apparently resting his legs. The camera slowly zooms into the painting until the surrounding space disappears—and it begins to move: The image of a girl by French Classicist William-Adolphe Bouguereau transforms into Rubens’ portrait of his daughter, Caravaggio’s sickly Bacchus, the latter’s head of Medusa, and numerous other works from the history of art. Finally, Bouguereau’s girl reappears, smiling as she peers from the painting, the camera moves away and films the—now different—surroundings. The final shot is of a yawning woman. |

Par Hasard by Bull.Miletic (Norway) DV, 5'45'', 2009 Par Hasard explores the Eiffel Tower’s symbolic relationship to its ethereal physicality. Negotiation between opposing meanings, emotions and times continues throughout the video in a similarly ambiguous manner, primarily via cutaway shots. The soundtrack, intertwined by long periods of silence, is intended to enhance the hallucinatory atmosphere. http://bull.miletic.info |

Planet A by Momoko Seto (France/Japan) HD, 7'40'', 2008 The world has become a dried out planet, where the growing of cotton, over exploited for economical reasons is the main cause of desertification. A saline desert covers acres of dried out land where strange salt trees appear. This phenomenon echoes an ecological disaster, the desertification of the Aral Sea. www.setomomoko.org |
