Semalu


sdn

Jimmy Hendrickx
Belgium, Malaysia

2013 | 0:15:00

Semalu, which means sensitive plant in Malay, is a cinematic portrait of the abandoned children of Cheras, a suburb in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A place in a process of modernization. Between a noisy landscape of construction works we see the next generation grow up. The ancestors of these children came here to build a new future. 30 years ago this territory was still jungle and swamp. Far away from the jungle this will be be the kids’ new urban residence. Semalu is a dark, yet magical journey along their concrete playground.

Seven Times a day we bemoan our lot and at night we get up to avoid dreaming

Sieben Mal am Tag beklagen wir unser Los und Nachts stehen wir auf um nicht zu träumen
Sept fois par jour nous nous plaignons de notre sort et la nuit, nous nous levons, pour ne pas rêver

Yaar


yaar

Simon Gillard
Belgium
2013 | 0:20:00

Yaar, in the heart of the bush where the gravel is hollowed, a stubborn civilisation hunts out its future below the earth's surface. Blind, or perhaps all too seeing, they dig away, night and day, spurred on by the madness that drives man to his death.

Lukasz Konopa

2013 | 0:25:00

In the middle of the Mojave Desert, a city of neon shimmers like a mirage. But the closer you get, the more you see through the false image. The glitz, glamour and gambling are all just smoke and mirrors. At the peak of the economic crisis, three Las Vegas residents find their luck has run dry and struggle just to get by.
