Shot entirely in 16mm black and white film using single frame
photography, 165708 employs in-camera techniques and chemical
manipulation of processed film to produce an eidetic study of temporal
elasticity. Techniques include flicker, time-lapse, light painting,
stop motion, tinting, and toning. Combined with cycles of alternating
exposed frames, these methods imbue the work with a rhythmic
magnetism, apparent both in the tempo and the aesthetic of the images.

The artist’s firstborn son transformed, in the blink of an eye, into a
young man. Q is a conceptual film about forces that change the world.
Q takes us to the end of the worlds, the depths of the ocean and to
the ruins of Atlantis. Q’s destruction is the road to new growth — it
is the only promise of continuity and the emergence of new nations. Q
is shot on 16 mm film whose surface has been hand-coloured. But what
or who is Q?

Abandoned Land |

"Abandoned Land” is a documentary and experimental video. It captures
and documents abandoned places, infrastructure and phenomenon in
Finland. The video uses Finland as an allegory to approach recent
changes of the European society with visually effective images,
prosaic narration and music. When still in use, the abandoned
environment had grown to match to the demands of society and now time
has made it useless. The video observes and documents that change.
With the abandoned phenomena the video explores history and its
relation with today.

The title character, Marionette, tries to wake up from lethargy and
take the control over her own existence. However, even the slightest
movement of hers is carefully followed by the intricate mechanism,
determined to restore the former order of things.

A meteorite, strange vegetation, a colour: an experimental take on
H.P. Lovecraft's spiral into madness, shot with a vintage camera on
truly unique LomoChrome 16mm film. This is a beautiful exercise in the
surreal.
A fish in a sea of wind, and nature discarding.

Trivial poème |

Filmed in Beirut, a city in perpetual reconstruction that crystallizes
many contemporary issues, the film ties the question of the poem and
its form to the question - from a political point of view - of space -
the coastline. Linked in this way, poetry and politics can no longer
be thought of in today's closed dialectic (either the return to
tradition and its exclusive values, or the universal reporting and
limitlessness of the all-is-marchandise"), but require a singular
invention and the new affirmation of a "shared".

Whom who inhabits occult in thy skin, thy flesh, thy bones, behind
blinded eyes, behind unvirtuous hands, behind foul tongues and fading
faces, I walk amongst ourselves… I am our Beast.

5 - 15 october 2017
The section "Cinéma in Transgression" offers middle or feature lengh films out of norm and order, between fiction and documentary, characterised by complex audio-visual languages, unpredictable associations based on unconcient, metaphorical and metonymical proceedings. In this way these films can express the complexity of reality.
