  • Crossing Borders with Naomi Uman

    By on

    Join us for a two-part programme presenting the work of experimental filmmaker Naomi Uman.

    Known for her hand-processed 16mm experimental films, Naomi Uman’s kaleidoscopic practice blends feminist perspectives with an exploration of documentary form. Her tactile portrayals of everyday life, women's labour, and the layered dynamics of shared existence reveal a world in which multiple boundaries—geographical, cultural, temporal, and emotional—intertwine and blur. Every borderline is at once tangible, fabricated, invisible, and imagined.

  • 20/20 Vision: Ash Wednesday

    By on

    argos marks Ash Wednesday, the day after mardi gras, with a double bill on the Carnival season. Transmitted from generation to generation and repurposed through time, its folkloric traditions have become an integral part of the legacies that shape us. Jan Vromman weaves together three generations of his family’s involvement in the local processions and parades, while Tine Guns directs our attention to the use of masks and costumes as a strategy for subversion.

    The Ground is not to be missed … [The film] makes a parallel between filmmaking and stone cutting: both depend not only on chiselling pieces so that they fit together, but also in leaving space enough for something to enter or take flight.”

    Early Monthly Segments [holds] the key to Beavers’s astounding achievement … Impeccably structural, his art is nonetheless suffused with a romantic passion that includes the man, the camera, and the world’s unending beauties—natural, built, and artistic.”

  • Telemach Wiesinger's 12 ASTERISCI

    By on

    For his film project “12 ASTERISCI” (named after the twelve stars on the European flag), Telemach Wiesinger visited numerous locations on the internal and external borders of the European Community and, with the help of his 16mm film camera, transformed them into seemingly otherworldly black-and-white scenes. Removed from current political debates, the sometimes archaic-looking artifacts reveal the anachronistic character of these ultimately arbitrary borders and demarcations.
