SeeingSeeing
Through meticulous cut-up, collaging and stop motion, Nico Vassilakis makes words dance across the screen, moving our eyes in all different directions. This video poem is dynamic and colourful, and brings into question what happens when we 'see' a word - where do we distinguish between the image a word forms in our minds, and the image it forms on a page or screen?

Song of the Flies
The experimental animated film Song of the Flies (El Canto de las Moscas), translates the desolation caused by the violence of the Colombian armed conflict through the poetic voice of Maria Mercedes Carranza (1945–2003) and the audiovisual dialogue between 9 Colombian women. In 24 places, as a transit over the course of a day (Morning, Day, Night) a map of terror is drawn where massacres took place in Colombia in the 1990s. Archival images, the artists’ personal memories and the use of loops and analogue materials bring to life the landscapes ravaged by violence and build a polyphony of memory and mourning, a universal song of pain.
