Zen for TV

Poland, 2022. 6 minutes.

Ambient piece ZEN for TV is a nostalgic reminiscence of the times when a TV broadcast could end for the day before our eyes. TV used to finish the transmission a few minutes after midnight. Then the screen turned black and white, filled with noise. With a little bit of imagination, in that noise one could see stone zen gardens, patiently raked by a silent monk. Gazing at the end of the TV programme was some sort of electronic meditation of the late 80s. The animated music video helps to grasp the concept of it.

Guido Devadder, Kaitlin McSweeney:

Hungry Ghost

Belgium, 2022. 7 minutes.

The feelings of both loss and desire are among the first and strongest emotions we experience as human beings. Desire is what keeps us alive, propagates us, but also destroys us. ‘Hungry Ghost’ is a poetic journey into the hazy netherworld of human craving, visualised through looping zoetrope animations.

Soetkin Verstegen:

Beautiful Figures

Belgium, 2022. 4 minutes.

Thoughts ripple over the pages of a personal notebook, kept during a stay at different science labs in Zürich. They float from one to another, like a mind map of unfinished ideas on memory, medical imaging, cells, and aging.

Ocean
(Океан)

Russian Federation, 2022. 4 minutes.

An ocean of events and emotions, reconsideration of the past, acceptance, anger, confusion and gratitude… «Ocean» is the official music video of the band «Mind Cry», created for a minor composition. The abstract visual content shows a number of plots on a common theme and opens a gallery of symbolic images. In the clip there is an implication to the feelings and emotions of a person who is tormented by suffering and emotional upheaval. The character hides them under a mask of stillness, but then explodes like a raging ocean.
