LA CIUDAD Y EL OTRO Albert Merino Distribution company: Visual Container (Italia); La videothèque Nomade 68 Septante asbl (Bélgica); Universidad de Extremadura/ Premios Lumen A tale of subjectivity and the condition of the individual within the city. This is immersed in an urban space that is a mirror of himself. The play is presented as an extension of subjectivity and alienation simultaneously. This secrecy is broken with a random appearance just by changing the world's perception of the protagonist. 1st prize Videoakt 2013 1ºadward Videoakt 2013 |

INSOMNIA Aditi Avinash Kulkarni India Insomnia is a sleep state of misperception of time and space. This film explores the violence of sleep and its social malfunctions. Here the waking world is a volatile aftermath - a meeting place of affect and personal delirium. |
||||
ANIMALES Iván Cortázar USA A world where man ruthlessly governs, a group of animals revolt and flee. |
||||
MI MUSEO CERRALBO Arantxa Boyero Spain In the last years I have worked as a technical photographer in different museums in Madrid, I have returned to the museums for self-consciousness, imitating myself with space to reflect on the role of women in these places, present but not always visible. : "Sometimes you feel like those pieces are yours and other times, that you’re a piece, as if you would be part of the Museum's collection" |
||||
EL CHICO CHIPS Y The video “El chico chips y la
ultratecnología” has two aspects: reality and fiction. One is the dark
and bright reality of a boy from a lower class of the city of Buenos
Aires; and the other is the world of art, a place that already does not
occupy the function of other times. It is an unaffected, hygienic and
aseptic place. Meanwhile, the “chico chips” shows us a dirty, organic
and alive place penetrated by the remainder of the culture of waste. |
||||
NOTHING-MEANS NOTHING Alejandra Bueno Spain Trying to do something that means nothing is as difficult as you think. Arriving to this point, I am prepared to devise a video that possess a complex realization, with studied settings, where the fact of planning so much seems to be absurd for such a short message. But, what if the message itself hides a deceit and says more than what it seems? |
||||
LANBROA(Niebla) Mikel Zatarain Spain Contemplate the landscape and listen to the rustle of thousands of years of history of a morning. Stop breathing the image and suggest that the film will be built in the imagination of the viewer. An elegy dedicated to the rural world and its inhabitants. |
||||
VII PULGADAS Cristian Alarcón Ismodes Peru A journey through a child's imagination built by an endemic militarism and servile catechism for the purposes of power. The thread of this inquiry is a popular prayer sung to children as lullabies and still is repeated in schools in Latin America. Special mention Videoakt 2013 Honorify mention Videoakt 2013 |
||||
ECO Raúl Gómez Valverde USA “Eco” is an self-interview that questions the formation of subjectivity. |
||||
P Adrián Regnier Chávez Mexico Perhaps this is the man with his problems. |
||||
C’EST MAINTENANT / Es ahora Miguel Soler Spain The video that I am presenting is part of a project with the title: Basado en Hechos Reales (based on a true story), which consists of the realization of different trailers made only with images of different extraordinary television news, which I have been capturing and archiving in recent years, reinventing their emissions and re-constructing with a cute & paste. A few facts that could be so certain or fictional like the presented ones in the same news. |
||||
[əˈnʌðə] Karin Dolk Sweden / Spain In the conventional format of cinema, we hope that a knife sounds like a knife in the films: fiction is overtaken by its reality. [əәˈnʌ.əә], a mute-sound film, based on a script written especially for Foley, deconstructs the cinematographic tricks and fictional elements of the film, at the same time that different meta-narratives emerge and run by its own strength. |
||||
ERA DE PAN Maia Navas Argentina To say that gender is stuffed before saying it. Invisibility coexists with spaces for creation that allows you to elucidate new forms. Question: what is a woman? Is answered by a chorus of voices and actions linked to the bread that can be built, materialized and collapsed. A cycle that reinvents itself. |
||||
EN EL MOVIMIENTO DEL PAISAJE Lois Patiño Spain The immobile human figure is situated inside of a landscape that wraps it. It is not a static environment but it is in constant discovery of its subtle changes. The paralyzed man, showing his back, invites us to contemplate carefully and in intimacy, the processes of change in the natural environment. |
||||
CEREBRO CONTAMINADO Uwe Heine Debrodt Mexico Our physiology is perfect, it comes directly from the stars. Its function is unique and exceptional. But what happens when we begin to grow? When do we start to be polluted? Went our evolution always that way? They make us feel trapped in a city-labyrinth with delusions of persecution. Is society or our DNA wrong or we have our brain contaminated? |
||||
LA ESENCIA DE LA PIEDRA Albert Merino Spain A tour through architectural spaces where the olfactory qualities of space and its walls are evoked from the emergence of decontextualized objects, unusual occurrences and heavy elements. Two figures are sought between corridors, chambers and gardens in a static pursuit, along which space will undressing revealing fragments and their wounds in a display that exceeds the look and transcends the senses. Work done thanks to the Videoakt 2013 award in collaboration with Casa Velázquez and Colección Olor Visual |
