	LE FRESNOY SHORTS

	

	Le Fresnoy is a post-graduate art school, audio-visual research and

	production centre based in Lille, France. Conceived and directed by artist

	Alain Fleischer since 1996, it enables young artists to produce work using

	professional standard equipment under the direction of established artists

	who themselves produce new work. The emphasis is on breaking down the

	barriers between media and languages. Consequently, the theoretical and

	practical work embraces all audiovisual languages, from traditional and

	electronic media to digital technology and other new developments. Le

	Fresnoy also offers the public a programme of art films, contemporary art,

	concerts and other artistic events. The work produced by the visiting

	artist-professors and the young artists are also shown in various events in

	France and abroad. This programme features films produced over the last

	three years by students and invited artists and filmmakers (such as Tsai

	Ming Liang).

	

	Artists Marie-Laure Cazin and Laura Henno, as well as School Promotion

	Officer Natalia Trebik will take part in a discussion that will introduce

	the school as well as the films shown.

	

	CINEMA AND VISUAL PLEASURE

	Dir: Annie MacDonell.

	France. 2001. 9mins. No dialogue. Beta.

	The film is constructed upon a short loop extracted from an old 8mm

	burlesque film which shows a belly dancer moving against a black background.

	The film is an exercise in the plastic properties of those devices available

	to film: light, speed and duration.

	

	DI MARMO SIETE VOI

	Dir: Nicolas Devos.

	France. 2003. 17mins. No dialogue. Beta.

	A film project based on found footage of amateurs films from an archive

	dating from the years 1942-1962 belonging to Maxime Soufflet. All that is

	known about him through these images is but interpretation and supposition.

	

	BUENOS AIRES

	Dir : Julien Coïc.

	France. 2003. 8mins. Beta.

	I have begun digging the soil of my garden. Imagining a private passage that

	would cross the planet. Is it possible to go to the other side after miles

	and miles of this black earth?

	

	VILLE BLANCHE

	Dir: Slavica Ceperkovic.

	2003. 3mins. Beta. English subtitles.

	Ville Blanche is a video that examines language and its ability to transform

	an environment. The scene takes place in front of the cityscape of Belgrade,

	a city that has been rebuilt 38 times in its history.

	

	THE SKYWALK IS GONE (LE PONT N'EST PLUS LA)

	Dir: Tsai Ming Liang.

	France. 2002. 20mins. Beta.

	A small-scale, refined urban story that balances fiction and documentary. A

	woman wants to cross a busy road. Another woman, with a heavy suitcase, is

	trying to do the same thing. Before the two have reached the other side, the

	fictional element seems to have been entirely assimilated to a documentary

	observation. In the end, the fiction re-emerges but by then the woman is

	already gone.

	

	STORIES OF THE STAIN I (LES HISTOIRES DE LA TACHE I)

	Dir : Marie-Laure Cazin.

	France. 2003. 10mins. Beta.

	At the protest on 1 May 2002 in Paris, strange things occur in a flat.

	

	TWILIT

	Dir: Laura Henno.

	France. 2003. 6mins. No dialogue. Beta.

	A girl appears suddenly from nowhere and goes through a landscape in a

	floating and intangible way.
