BENELUX SHORTS

With director Marion Guillard as guest!

THE ART OF FLYING
NL 2015, 7', undated, Director: Jan van IJken
Every evening, the starlings gather at dusk to put on their stunning aerial show.

WE HAD FUN YESTERDAY
BE 2024, 34', OmeU, Director: Marion Guillard
Unexpectedly, Marion Guillard manages to capture the perfect shot: a flock of birds pirouettes in the evening sky, the camera follows their graceful movements as if hypnotized, symbiotic. It has been a long road to this moment. Guillard shares a journey to the USA that is not only characterized by feelings of alienation from her family - the postcard motifs that spread out before her also leave her cold. In a voiceover, she talks about her relationship to herself and her body, about an ideal of femininity that she does not live up to, and about disturbing encounters with men.

MEADOWS WAIT, MIST DIFFUSES
LUX 2023, 17', OmeU, Director: Dzhovani Gospodinov

Dzhovani Gospodinov captures the enigmatic energies of Hosbësch. The film questions the impact of civilization on the forests and the way humans disturb and change the intimacy of the animals. The images were shot over four years with motion-activated cameras and interwoven with Gospodinov's own fragmentary memories of the forests.

As part of the Stranger Than Fiction documentary film festival!
