A chance encounter between these two lonely beings will unleash a flood of memories and virtual data. But real-life connections are scarce, and mutual consolation seems a distant dream.

bleared eyes of blue glass(xx)
The "bleared eyes of blue glass" in the title of this experimental short expand on a verbal image from Virginia Woolf's novel The Waves, considered the most experimental among the 20th-century British writer's literary works, from which the young filmmaker took inspiration for his film, borrowing passages and visions to explain his own understanding of what cinema is. A film that plays with water - precisely - and light, and yet in a very dark b&w lit up by rare flashes of colour, making a journey in the night in which the shadow of a man gradually acquires substance.

Dislocated Third Eye Series III: Bismillah /In Four Movements/(xx)
Against a repetitive trance-inducing loop of four carefully excerpted bars from “Ntsikana’s Bell” (1974, with Johnny Dyani), the enigmatic Sulejman Ferenčak—one of fifty members of the slippery production network OM, which concocted dozens of small-gauge gems in the late 70s and 80s--launches and spins his Super 8 tripod-attached camera in a methodical sequence of 360-degree rotations. Sky and earth are euphorically, deliriously transcended in what is not so much an homage to Michael Snow’s La Région Centrale, but rather its spiritual detonation from within.

How to Be a Candid Woman(en)
To produce speech, a set of mechanisms must be brought together. What is the normal articulation for speech? How to produce the sounds that make it up in the correct way? A physiological analysis of the aspects of speech shows us how: the jaw must move in a certain way; the air must be expelled from the lungs in another. Based on the concepts stated in the film "Normal Speech Articulation" (1965), produced by the University of Iowa (USA), we intend to reflect on the way women have been represented, and consequently educated, over the years, both in film and in the media. Largely composed of archival footage, this film intends to make evident, through a montage inspired by Structuralist movements, the violence of this education.
