IMPERIAL VALLEY (CULTIVATED RUN-OFF)
AT/GER 2018, D: Lukas Marxt, Doc, 14’, without dialogue, DCP
RALFS FARBEN / RALF’S COLOURS
AT/GER 2019, D: Lukas Marxt, Doc, 74’, Orig. with Eng. subs, DCP
Two experimental explorations of landscape – on the one hand of the eponymous Imperial Valley, a desert valley that has become a fertile agricultural area thanks to complex irrigation systems. Drone fl ights provide impressive footage of how terrain and ecosystem have been handled up to the point where the origin of the images is increasingly obscured by a heightened cutting rate and an electronic soundtrack. In RALF’S COLOURS on the other hand, Lanzarote is a place of solitude, isolation and a space that echoes the inwardness, sensations and thoughts of schizophrenic protagonist and artist Ralf.

FR 2019, D: Frank Beauvais, 75’, Orig. with Eng. subs, DCP
During a period of solitude, a man tries to help himself with films. From April to October 2016, director Frank Beauvais watches 400 films, out of which the never ending flow of images of JUST DON’T THINK I’LL SCREAM is put together. Via voiceover, we are told about his personal circumstances: after having separated from his partner, with whom he had moved from Paris to a remote place in Alsace, he lives there isolated, without a car, without purpose. Combined with his obsessive, cinephile self-medication, his intimate confessions develop into a poetic moving-image diary, a haunting study situated between neurosis and excess.
