Programul lunii august 2017 este următorul:
A WHOLE WORLD FOR A LITTLE WORLD – BEST FILM @ STTP FEBRUARY 2017 AWARDS
Director: Fabrice Bracq
Country: France
Duration: 15:00
Synopsis:
A woman tells a great story to her baby. In the manner of a tale with princes and princesses, she remains into his memories to pass on his daughter.
#MEAT – BEST EXPERIMENTAL SHORT FILM @ STTP FEBRUARY 2017 AWARDS
Director: Marc J. M. van den Broek
Country: Germany
Duration: 07:10
Synopsis:
#MEAT distills a hundred years of human inventiveness and arrives at a wordless digital dystopia that’s as inescapable as man’s thirst for knowledge and power.
Shot as a series of fragments by Belgian-born artist and sculptor Marc van den Broek, this six-minute art film resembles a retrofitted tale of Faust.
Essential elements of humanity – the written word, the human body, music – are clasped and reduced to mechanical function by van den Broek’s eerily beautiful
sculptural restraints, strapped first onto a hand, a leg, head, finally an entire body. Hooks and eyes in the bowels of a warehouse reflect a fragment of binary script and double up as industrialization’s invitation to mass consumption. Ancient songlines metamorphose into the hum of drones.
