ORBITS
by Sarah Seené super8 / 2025 / Canada / 22’ 48’’ Drawing from a constellation of highly textured analogue images and a rich tapestry of soothing sound, Orbits journeys into the sensorial depths of Marie-Christine's memory, after losing her sight some years ago. |
Sarah Seené is a Montreal-based photographer and filmmaker who works with analog media. At the crossroads of documentary and portraiture, her artistic practice draws its essence from the exploration of the human and the intimate. Her various photographic and cinematographic projects are grounded in her personal reflections on feminism and anti-validism. Her work questions the representation of people with disabilities, chronic pain and mental health through poetic, dreamlike imagery.

RED EARTH BLACK EARTH
by Agnès Perrais 16mm / 2024 / France / 7’ Four motifs of an insular landscape: dunes, grass, stormy skies, sea. These motifs are inflected and intertwined through various photochemical operations: successive printing generations, flat printing, bipacking, and chemical toning; unsettling the steady, desolate shots to create an imaginary landscape where elements and matter meet. |
Agnès Perrais (Paris, 1987) is a member of artist-run film laboratories L'Etna and L'Abominable/Navire Argo. As part of a varied artistic practice (including collage and rayograms), she develops her cinematographic work at the intersection between the political and the imaginary, working with both documentary and short experimental forms.

STEREO FRAMEWORK / ASYNCHROMY
by Antoni Pinent 35mm, found footage / 2024 / USA / 20’ An experiential project that pushes the limits of 3D anaglyphic colors in multiple ways and contexts, from geometric compositions to conceptual and philosophical abstractions and quotes from masters of the moving image such as Michael Snow, Morgan Fisher or Norman McLaren. A film of extreme pleasures for all viewers that doesn't lose sight of the tradition of humor in experimental cinema. |
Antoni Pinent is an independent curator of contemporary art, multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker, whose work has been screened internationally at festivals, cinematheques and museums such as the SF MoMA (2012).
As an artist he has had individual exhibitions in Venice (2018-2019), Barcelona (2021-2022), and Paris (2023). |

LE TEMPS DU MONDE FINI COMMENCE
by Sophie Bouloux 16mm / 2025 / France / 2’ 57’’ Inspired by a quote from Paul Valéry, the time of the finite world begins, explores the end of a world once believed to be inexhaustible. Through archival footage from the 1950s, taken from the 16mm film, Pleasure for All by the National Film Board of Canada, an era of triumphant modernity where humans reshape the earth as if it were a playground, the film subtly reveals the early signs of a coming shift. By intervening directly on the film stock, scratching it, testing it, the cinematic gesture becomes a metaphor: that of a wounded, altered world, marked by human traces. |
This film is a visual meditation on finitude, on the growing awareness that everything has a limit: the land, time, bodies. Between memory and material, play and disappearance, the time of the finite world begins, confronts us with our legacy and the urgent need to see it differently.
Sophie Bouloux, aka Sophie.B, is a French artist and filmmaker. Her work includes concrete poetry, photography, video, and experimental film. She also creates sound pieces under the name Cut-Up. Her creative output is autonomous, without rules, and weaves a close link between experimentation and poetry. |
