FOREIGNERS OUT! SCHLINGENSIEFS CONTAINER is a thrilling, insightful, funny chronicle and reflection of one of he biggest public pranks and acts of art terrorism ever committed. Austria 2000: Right after the FPÖ under Jörg Haider had become part of the government, the first time an extreme right wing party became state officials after WW2, infamous German shock director Christoph Schlingensief showed a very unique form of protest. Realising public xenophobia and the new hate politics in the most drastic ways possible, he installed a public concentration camp right in the middle of Vienna's touristic heart, right beside the picturesque opera where hundreds of tourists and locals pass by daily. And it was no concentration camp you had ever feared to return from the old times, but one that cynically reflected our new multimedia culture. Satirising reality TV shows, "Big Brother" especially, a dozen asylum seekers were surveilled by a multitude of cameras, could be fed and watched by.

Aleksander Sokurov brings the treasures of the Hermitage back into the light by making films about artists and their paintings. He has chosen the painter Hubert Robert, who spent a long time in Italy, and whose preference was for creating ancient ruined landscapes and naturalistic portrayals of times past. He was successful with the wealthy, who bought his works from him. The camera pans across the paintings while Sokurov speaks of a happy era, when the artist was at one with the spirit of the times, and agreed with the taste of his clients. Just how far removed from us this is, is shown by pictures of a "Nô" performance which are inter-cut on the screen. No words are necessary to describe what everybody knows today.

Kren frames the image to suggest a proscenium, with a view to the harbor that conveys a literal sense of “tele-vision”. The static framing of the image and the clearly stratified mise-en-scène can hardly provoke interpretation. The sight of the girls does so all the more. Kren, the gentle voyeur - who turns the viewer into a secret accomplice - observes three teenagers, and probably like them, awaits a rendezvous. (Thomas Trummer)

Após fazer diversos filmes sobre dança (sua primeira vocação), a cineasta nova-iorquina Shirley Clarke foi convidada para realizar uma série de curtas-metragens sobre o estilo de vida de seu país para o Pavilhão Americano da Feira Mundial de Bruxelas, em 1958. Carrossel de Pontes nasceu dos materiais descartados desse projeto, e, diferentemente do original - de natureza narrativa -, as imagens sobrepostas neste filme experimental exprimem a concretude dos objetos que retratam, as pontes que cruzam o rio Hudson em Nova York. A música envolve e suaviza a rigidez geométrica das construções de ferro e concreto, que contrastam com a fluidez do rio. Clarke fez duas versões do filme: uma com trilha sonora dos compositores pioneiros da música eletrônica Louis e Bebe Barron; outra, com trilha do compositor, produtor e saxofonista de jazz Teo Macero.
