*Opening Films

Under the Freeway
Guy Sherwin | United Kingdom | 1995 | 16min
First film in the ongoing Freeway Series.
“Street-life at a busy intersection beneath a freeway in San Francisco. An urban landscape film with an underlying formal structure."

Welcome
Jean-Claude Rousseau | France | 2022 | 18min
In the solitude of a New York apartment, a piece of
cardboard beats against the window, at the whim of the wind,
like a beating heart.

NIGHT OF 30TH
NHÀ SÀN COLLECTIVE | Vietnam | 2023 | 24min 
“It’s still dark in the garden when he comes. Like in a dream, he walks. On the rooftop they sit in silence. The river begins to murmur.”
A moving image work collectively made and filmed at the residence of Mrs L？？ng and Mr. M？nh ？？c, a home in close proximity to the collective and their community of artist friends for many years. In this playground, a mystical world emerges; a cinema is reenacted. As the film unfolds, a river, a garden, spirits, wooden structures, people and x-x-x-x-x-x-objects appear, dissolve and reappear, as if they were characters morphing into one another.
