The Case of Former Psychiatric Hospital
Ward Attendant
The Case of Former Psychiatric Hospital 
Ward Attendant


Nikolay Nasedkin
Russia

2016 / 0:39:00

The film constitutes a kind of an "ego-document" created by the Russian artist Nikolai Nasedkin with the aim of reflecting on the "baggage" of his own creative background, packed in a plywood case of a former psychiatric hospital ward attendant.

The Great Wall
The great wall


Tadhg O'Sullivan
Ireland

2015 / 1:14:00

‘The Great Wall has been completed at its most southerly point.’ So begins Kafka’s short story ‘At the Building of the Great Wall of China’, and so, at Europe’s heavily militarised south-eastern frontier, begins this film. In the shadow of its own narratives of freedom, Europe has been quietly building its own great wall. Like its famous Chinese precursor, this wall has been piecemeal in construction, diverse in form and dubious in utility. Graduallycohering across the continent, this system of enclosure and exclusion is urged upon a populace seemingly willing to accept its necessity and to contribute to its building. From Europe’s edges, The Great Wall moves across various unidentified fortified landscapes, pausing with those whose lives are framed by borders and walls. Moving inward toward the seat of power, the film holds the European project up to a dazzling cinematic light, refracted through Kafka’s mysterious text; ultimately questioning the nature of power, within Europe and beyond.

October 1 - 9, 2016

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.
