Bilinsin Diye
To Make Things Known
7' / Experimental / Belgium
This film paints a portrait of a steel factory soon to be demolished, eaten away by the absence of activity, out of sight. A cinematographic poem that takes the time to x-ray the places and the men who populated them, as a farewell. An elegy prolonging the past, creating a living matter that resists time and oblivion, in a space that is no longer quite real.

Dün
Yesterday
7'41" / Documentary / China
After the epidemic in Shanghai, the city after opening up has regained its former atmosphere. When I went out, I found that there was almost no trace of the closure of the city for two months. People were "rebellious" to look for the so-called freedom, and such freedom was just to forget those traces.
