Voor deze eerste editie kozen Elias Grootaers, Rob Vanderbeeken en An van. Dienderen drie toonaangevende documentairemakers uit het dynamische en inspirerende landschap van de huidige documentaire film. Nicholas Philibert (FR) vormt daarbij het kroonstuk. Deze internationaal gelauwerde cineast komt voor KASKADE naar Gent met de klassieker ‘La Ville Louvre’. In deze film toont hij het leven achter de schermen van het immense Musée du Louvre in Parijs op een vaak humoristische steeds subtiele en aandachtige manier. Sarah Vanagt (B) toont en bespreekt haar kortfilms die inzoomen op de troeblerende en ontroerende relatie tussen kinderen en de dood. De Marrokkaans-Belgische Saddie Choua vertoont ‘Ma soeur Zahra’, waarin ze een persoonlijke, vaak confronterende blik biedt op de reacties op de coming out van haar lesbische zus. Het gesprek vormt een belangrijk onderdeel van KASKADE. In deze reeks gaan de cineasten in op de verschillende documentaire strategieën die ze aanwenden om hun perspectief op de hun omringende realiteit in beeld en geluid te evoceren. Filmplateau - Gent 03/03: Sarah Vanagt 18/03: Saddie Choua 25/03: Nicolas Philibert aanvang: 20u tickets: 2,5€ KASKADE is een initiatief van de vakgroep audiovisuele kunsten - KASK (Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten Gent – Hogeschool Gent) The document as performance, Bottelarij Brussels (2-6 February 2009) Sarah Vanagt will take part in a project week organised by the drama and documentary departments of Rits. The workshops couple artistic praxis with intensive contacts and a framework of meetings, lectures, screenings and debates between participants and guests. The workshops take place in De Bottelarij, Delaunoystraat 58, Brussels-Molenbeek. From Monday 2nd February until Friday 6th February 2009, each day from 13h to 18h. Afterwards there is an evening programme with films, presentations, and debates. For her workshop Sarah departs from the first interior monologue in the history of documentary: a scene from ‘Chronique d’un été’ by Jean Rouch and Edgar Morin (1960). Using this technique as a documentary strategy the participants will stage, film and discuss their own interior monologue.   for more information visit the website of Rits Wiels Residency (July-September 2008) Sarah Vanagt is one of the six participants in the new Wiels Residency program.

Influenced by commercial and political images on radio and TV, styrofoam becomes a mobile, a stick a microphone, and a leg of a puppet transforms into a weapon. Does this scene do more justice to Africa than the majority of the documentaries made by Western journalists? Does it show that we're always looking through western eyes to "problematic" Africa? The prize: Sarah Vanagt recieves a prize provided by Avid (digital media creation tools) with a value of 3200 euros. |
