  • Dancin' the Camera (Pieter Rim de Kroon, NL 2015, 9')

    Dance film about a tap dancer who makes a journey of discovery through the mechanical world of black & white film. The camera functions as camera, backdrop and character. The camera and a pianist try to seduce the tap dancer into a duet.

  • still Descent (Johan Rijpma, NL 2014)

    Descent (Johan Rijpma, NL 2014, 2')

    A cylindrical mug falls, then breaks into pieces. Every frame in this footage is then manually translated into a ceramic layer made from the remnants of the broken mug. All these layers are glued together, creating a new object. However, then gravity shifts leading to this new object falling and breaking. The cycle continues by translating destructive moments into higher-dimensional shapes.

  • still Mr Hublot (Laurent Witz & Alexandre Espigares, LU/FR 2014)

    Mr Hublot (Laurent Witz & Alexandre Espigares, LU/FR 2014, 11')

    Mr Hublot lives in a world in which everything and everyone largely consists of mechanical parts. The reclusive Mr Hublot is scared of all the changes and the big, bad outside world. He prefers to stay indoors in his cosy apartment, however, the arrival of the dog Robot Pet makes everything different, upending the bourgeois little man’s life.

    Make your own flipbook (30')

    After the film programme, you can make your own flip book in the cinema. A flip book is a little book with a small drawing that changes a tiny bit on each page. When you flip through the pages of the book with your thumb, these drawings zoom past really fast. The individual pictures blur together like a film. So with your flip book you are really making your own mini-animated film!

Not suitable for children’s parties. Children must be accompanied.
