That’s how art connects directly with the violence of reality and finds itself reconfigured in it, as it is accredited in the work of Ing K, completely consecrated to the political, social, religious, economic and ecological problems of her country, Thailand, or, as she calls it “Siam”, according to its anti-fascist name.

Juruna Mallon’s Les Îles Résonnantes (Resonant Islands) approaches Eliane Radigue and her aesthetics with a subtle audiovisual composition that mixes her sound sculptures with visual explorations of herself, her work, and evocations from her music. The film stands far away from any precise biographical portrayal to immerse us in her intimate and spiritual approach to sound, music and life.

Austerlitz has been analyzed as a portrayal of horror as a commodity and the relation of man with its history, which is something that Loznitsa explores in his filmography, but it’s also pertinent to point to the depersonalization of the people moving in front of the camera, reducing it all to masses with an undefined face, which seem to condemn they all from the beginning. It’s possible that everything said until now can be reduced to a simple question: Does Loznitsa and the spectators feel morally superior to the people being filmed?

Austerlitz ha sido analizada respecto al horror como un bien de consumo y la relación del hombre con su historia, que es algo que explora Loznitsa en su filmografía, pero a la vez es necesario apuntar a la despersonalización de la gente que pasa frente a la cámara, reduciendo todo a masas sin un rostro definido, lo cual pareciera condenarlos a todos desde un inicio.

The apparatus of resistance and its relentless mechanism in an era of crisis has already been explored in Sylvain George’s Vers Madrid: The Burning Bright, a slow burner of political uprise and class struggle on the Madrid revolts of 2011 and 2012. And while the immediate consequences of political civil organization might not be instantly apparent, the sense of general malaise in a population pushed to the verge of self suffocation was absolutely palpable, and the film turned a hopeful eye in the light of civilian organization capabilities.

A Strange New Beauty is a film that deals with the inequity of world economics and creates a concept from that. The metaphor of a house as a closed exclusive entity which can only shelter a privileged group while the “outside” follows a savage and natural course, is the bet from which American filmmaker Shelly Silver develops a structure of ideological confrontation . An opulent empty house with big gardens clashes with an out of field auditory field, where we hear the other vein of narration, where voices and screams from a mental hospital, sighs and phrases spoken by an almost cybernetic soul, rule this different “outside”, which is sensorial and full of memory.

A Strange New Beauty es una pieza que propone un concepto logrado sobre la inequidad económica mundial. La metáfora de la casa como entidad cerrada y excluyente, que solo puede cobijar un grupo privilegiado mientras “el afuera” sigue un curso salvaje y natural, es la apuesta con la que la artista estadounidense Shelly Winter desarrolla una estructura de confrontación ideológica.
