Programme

  • still Memories of an Unborn Sun (Marcel Mrejen, 2024)

    Memories of an Unborn Sun (Marcel Mrejen, 2024, 22')

    Written upon testimonies, rumors and fake news, this film questions the architectures of energy shaping the Algerian territory from its colonial history to the rise of Chinese extractivism, underlining the multiplicity of reality in a post-truth era.

  • still Have You Seen Her (Astrid Ardagh, 2023)

    Have You Seen Her (Astrid Ardagh, 2023, 15')

    An exploration of the poetic boundaries between light and darkness. Set on a rugged Arctic island where the sun sinks below the horizon for two months each winter, the film uses strikingly artistic imagery to investigate our relationship to the cycles of nature. It points an explorative lens at a remote community, whose inhabitants know exactly at what place, on what day, and at what time they can see the sun again for the first time after the darkness of the polar night.

  • still Red Dust (Katja Verheul, 2024)

    Red Dust (Katja Verheul, 2024, 18')

    A couple of times a year, the sky turns red in France. Sand dust from the Sahara is passed through a difference in air pressure from North Africa to Southern Europe. This dust, a time capsule containing cesium-137 from the French nuclear tests in Algeria, covers everything. The film exposes the impact of a war that was never fought. A French veteran and archeology students share and speculate on what will be remembered and what will be hidden under the sand forever.
