Sky Lines

2014 • 10 min • Serbia

Sky Lines is a formalist film that evokes, via repetition and an extreme sound design, a death driven fear of nothingness, of the end of things. As formal sets of choreographed lines slowly dance across the screen, space and perception alter continuously and a sense of suspense and instability manifests itself. In Nadine Poulain’s film ‘Sky Lines’ the awful is not seen, but the sensational Lucifer is there nonetheless. He is waiting just around the corner for all of us. This is our anxiety; something Jacques Derrida has coined ‘Hauntology’.

Oscar Marzaroli - Man with a Camera

2014 • 30 min

Paris had Cartier-Bresson, New York - Diane Arbus and Glasgow - Oscar Marzaroli. Man with a Camera celebrates the life and work of Glasgow's pre-eminent photographer, using some of the 50,000 shots taken over thirty years - a moving portrait of a love affair between a man and his city, and the affection in which he is held today. Marzaroli's black-and-white photographs have become synonymous with a post-war Scotland in the throes of regeneration. They captured both the aspects of the old, such as the rag-and-bone man in the Gorbals or the cockle gatherers of Barra, and the paraphernalia of the new - cranes, towers and construction at Glasgow's Charing Cross. As Glasgow's landscape changes once again and the high-rises that Marzaroli documented going up are gradually being razed to the ground, this film celebrates Marzaroli's remarkable photographic legacy.

El asombro

2014 • 49 min • Argentina

As if it were a continuation of the last 15 minutes of AB, Fund and Loza, now accompanied by Moriconi, radicalize the aesthetic procedure of the previous film made together: on the one hand, there is a free text, between poetic and philosophical, pronounced voiced by two men and a woman; on the other, a set of plans of different ecosystems, live and stuffed animals, clouds, waterfalls and lava, organized by a kind of poetic logic, makes up the visual material. The disjunction between text and image is programmatic, and in parallel they constitute a form of free poetic expression. The precariousness of existence is evidence, and the very composition of the images is in line with this empirical confirmation. The general discourse oscillates between a heterodox Franciscan Christianity and a sensitive Darwinism, and in the same way a kind of awareness of terror and amazement towards the universe is combined.
