Announcing full details film programme
DEAF offers an interesting film programme around The Progress Trap theme on Friday and Saturday at Het Nieuwe Instituut curated by Peter Taylor (KinoKino). This is what you can expect:
PROGRAMME FRIDAY 23 MAY
MOUNT SONG
SHAMBHAVI KAUL
2013 | INDIA / USA | 9 MIN | VIDEO
Shambhavi Kaul’s excavations and reconstitutions of 1970s Hong Kong cinema, depict a much circulated and easily recognised version of the ancient East, creating something entirely new whilst uncovering genealogies of appropriation by camera.
THE UNDISCOVERED DRAWER
SHANA MOULTON
2013 | USA, FRANCE | 9 MIN | VIDEO
Alchemised with wonder we’re ushered to wide-eyed transcendence with a hallucinatory tableau of clocks, domestic plastics and luridly soothing colour.

COLD OPEN
SEAMUS HARAHAN
2014 | NORTHERN IRELAND | 14 MIN | VIDEO
Drenched in creeping damp and malaise, the visual consequence of a powerfully 'absent-minded gaze in response to the world'. Seamus Harahan’ scrutinising lens reveals the gestures, machismo and arm-punching dynamics of Northern Irish youth.
LET US PERSEVERE IN WHAT WE HAVE RESOLVED BEFORE WE FORGET
BEN RUSSELL
2013 | 20 MIN | UNITED STATES | VIDEO
FLOWER
NAOKO TASAKA
2012 | JAPAN / USA |21 MIN | VIDEO
“It's been a long winter.... The bear woke up midnight from hunger...”
When flower’s a verb. “Naoko Tasaka's sphinx-like Flower unfolds like a children's story before it plumbs the depths of both a physical and metaphorical surface, as straightforward narration gives way to sublimated abstraction.’” (Andréa Picard)
PROGRAMME SATURDAY 24 MAY
VISIONARY IRAQ
GABRIEL ABRANTES & BENJAMIN CROTTY
2009 | PORTUGAL | 17 MIN | VIDEO
A Portuguese boy and his adopted Angolan sister caught up in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Gallery openings, secret love affairs, exploitative infrastructural investments – it’s a melodrama for our times - moral decisions have to be made.
THE DARK KRYSTLE
MICHAEL ROBINSON
2013 | UNITED STATES | 10 MIN | VIDEO
ARRASTRE
NICOLAS BROOKS
2010 | UNITED KINGDON | 8MIN | VIDEO
With its title denoting both a choreographical term, ‘to drag’ and a crude apparatus for pulverising ore, Arrastre creates a universe from plexiglass, paper and stone. Things and non-things come into relation with each other as protagonists in an intriguing drama of indeterminate parameters and force.
SCHLEIFEN
TO RAZE
JULIANE HENRICH
2014 | GERMANY | 8MIN | VIDEO
6 min, Germany, digital file
An uncanny journey through a German village which appears almost as a film set. There’s an uncanny sense of displacement, erasure and doubling. New houses line freshly paved streets that all have the suffix '-neu' at the end. The journey ends on the outskirts of the village, and an astonishing reveal.
A IDADE DA PEDRA
THE AGE OF STONE
ANA VAZ
2013 | FRANCE, BRAZIL |29 MIN | DIGITAL FILE
