  • JOHAN GRIMONPREZ (TBC)
Dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y 1997 Bel/Fr, col &b/w, 68 min VHS Bunckle up for the unofficial chronicle of worldwide aeroplane hijacking! This pseudo-documentary will take you on a playful-subversive tour from the romantic hijacker-revolutionary of the sixties and the seventies to the cynical, anonymous parcel bombs of the nineties. Its blending of archival footage and personal home-movie imagery investigates the media politics of contemporary catastrophe culture. Inspired by two Don DeLillo novels – white Noise and Mao II, and savouring the writer’s motto ‘Home is a failed idea’, director Johan Gremonprez fully demonstrates how the spectacle of international terrorism and the desire for the ultimate disaster invade all living rooms to threaten our domestic bliss. New York composer-musician David Shea wrote the original soundtrack to this accelerated journey through the explosive history of this century.

The film has been shown at the Pompidou Centre in Paris and Documenta X (Kassel, Germany).

  • RUNA ISLAM (TBC)
Stare Out (Blink) 1998, UK, 3min vhs Stare Out (Blink) was originally made as a 3 min 16mm film relating specifically to the method which film materialises its immaterial sources. The lucidity of movement/image depends upon the retinal screens reception. These simple yet by no means primitive processes of optical illusion articulate films almost magical reaction to the black and white negative image.
