Darkness of the Day
Darkness of the Day


Jay Rosenblatt
United States
2009 | Digital | 0:26:00

Following the suicide of a friend, Rosenblatt uses archival footage to explore depression and mortality, treating what many consider a clinical subject into a richly resonant, multilayered and meditative one.

Zero Street
Rue zero


Andrey Getov
Bulgaria
2010 | Digital | 0:04:00

The subjective experience of a suitcase floating in the sea. We do not know where it came from, nor how many there are. The trunk appears and disappears many a time, transferred onto a car in front of a large villa in the countryside. A brain teaser for attentive audiences with a sharp eye. Evidently inspired by Rybczy?ski, the young Bulgarian Getov uses music and montage with creative ability and talent. Like it used to be done.

Boredom
Ennui


Mauro Folci
Italie
2009 | Numérique | 0:03:33

It is the intention of this project to draw a connection between the gestures born of the interaction between the man’s hands and the lion’s paws and the concept of profound boredom as described by Heidegger, who posited an analogy between the stupor of the animal and boredom, an emotional state which the philosopher considered essential for any philosophising to take place.

Night
Ennui


Albert Bayona

Spain
2011 | Digital | 0:05:15

The best things during the night remain uncovered. However, imagination is capable of recreating scenes that reflect reality with previous personal compositions. All of this with out using any abstract intelligible ideas.

Pabellon aleman (...)
Ennui


Juan Millares
Spain
2009 | Digital | 0:13:10

In 1900, Atget photographes Paris in the style of a crime scene. In 1929 Mies Van der Rohe inaugurates in Barcelona the German detached house of the world fair which will become one of the most remarkable buildings of the 20th century. In 1980, a Spanish architect imagines fictions from pages of architecture books. Three real characters and three stories cross the history in an extraordinary and fascinating game of deduction, intrigue and announcement of hidden crimes in the old photos.
