I Feel Your Silence by Laura Heinig
Super 8, digital, found footage / 2023 / Germany / 17’ 15’’ Every sentence about grandma is like a loss. She didn't talk much - certainly not about what moved her. It is only after her death that I use this film to search for how war and violence affect relationships and create silence. In everyday life, in the household and in the family. Digging out, looking for continuities, creating continuities lies this film’s soul. A tender portrait that takes us back to a time, which still resonates with us today. |
Laura Heinig (* 1988 in Wiesbaden) has a background in Cultural Studies and Anthropology, which she studied in Frankfurt (Oder), Santiago de Chile and the Netherlands. Since 2019, she is part of the documentary directing class at Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg.

Dear Gerald by Jasper Rigole
found footage / 2023 / Belgium / 11’13’’ The film “Dear Gerald” is conceived as a response to an online review of one of the home movies from Jasper Rigoles IICADOM archive. This archive is created by the filmmaker as an attempt to preserve orphaned films sourced from flea markets in and around Belgium. The film starts as a reflection on the medium of the home movie and the nature of the archive but slowly reveals problematic side effects of publishing private images. In that sense the film raises questions on authorship and consent in an online environment. |
Jasper Rigole (1980, Belgium) is a multimedia-artist who works on the border between film and media-arts. He graduated from the film department of the academy in Ghent (KASK) in 2004, and subsequently did a postgraduate in visual arts (HISK), and a PhD in audiovisual arts (KASK/Ugent). Next to his artistic practice, he currently is active as a professor and researcher at KASK. In his work, Rigole focusses on the re-use of existing footage to reflect on the closely related theme’s memory and the archive.
