Circuit marine

2006 • 8 min • Canada, France

"All you need is food," the Beatles could have sung if they had been inspired by Circuit marine, a whimsical fantasy about our cruel, carnivorous world. To be eaten or not to be eaten: that is the question for a ginger cat, a goldfish and a colourful parrot which a tender-hearted pirate tries to get to live happily together along with his hungry crew. We can only wonder who will be the next meal on this ship of food. As the ship pitches and rolls to a sprightly gypsy tune, the cat relentlessly pursues the goldfish, and even the parrot gets into the act. But who is predator and who is prey? Everyone ends up down someone's gullet. Isabelle Favez's colourful and humorous film is a tasteful reminder that we're all links in the food chain.

Cell 719

2006 • 15 min • Belgium

There is hardly any image in Cellule 719: from time to time we see a glimpse of water, but otherwise the film is mainly black. The texts that appear on the screen in grey are from ‘Ein brief Ulrike Meinhofs aus dem Toten Trakt’, a letter written in 1972 by the RAF member Ulrike Meinhof, when she was just imprisoned. For Annik Leroy, this video project is only an intermediate stop in a longer process, a study of the historical RAF and, even more so, into the psychological mechanisms of terror, and the personality structure of a public figure who is left alone in complete isolation with her most private self.

Exhausted, abandoned by the souls that once inhabited it, the city of Grozny, to which, for the first time after the war, a Russian girl comes to see her native home, return to her childhood and "die in it", saying goodbye to him forever for all those who lost their home and homeland.

Divine invasions

2006 • 10 min

Divine Invasions is an anonymous biography of the American science-fiction author, Philip K. Dick. Everybody is talking about him but his name is carefully erased. Two concurrent sections of the screen contain imperceptible 3D information, the constant reflection creates an electronic prayer wheel: a method of remembrance. The setting again reflects the gloomy disposition of the young man in a way a landscape painting describes an emotion. But video is more than just a moving painting and while various stills can be read as examples of “melancholia”, the mood created by Divine Invasions is different: it is a feeling of “not yet”.
