# 1. THE PRICE FOR FIRE | rossella nisio | 2022 | 18'40" | language: english
Every night I dream about something happening, something huge, perhaps even the revolution.
in the afternoon of december 21, 1976, an accident shakes the town of r. to its foundations: a young man called m. dies in a fire at his home; a shock to the local politically involved youth. _m. was known as an activist, but behind his committed public persona he wrote poems about his anguish under the pseudonym of ‘drifter’. _these poems, with elements from his life, form the core of ‘the price for fire’. _against the backdrop of a vacant old-fashioned house, two voices pursue the shadows of 1968 and of its aftermath: drifter, brooding over the revolution that never came, and his unnamed comrade, who addresses him from the ranks of a funeral procession
rossella nisio is an interdisciplinary artist who studied ‘cinema and performing arts’ at the university of rome and completed the masters ‘fine art / lens-based’ at the piet zwart institute in rotterdam

before container ships leave port, lashers secure the containers using heavy metal bars. _they are the last port workers to do such dangerous jobs. _in an equally physical cinematic style, each body tells its own story: from grieving for a colleague who died on the job to just keeping going

# 3. FACE HOME VIEW (16 mm) | raquel vermunt | 2021 | 9'38"
‘face home view’ was created during a self-organized work period in the former kriterion, the cinema on top of the groothandelsgebouw in rotterdam. _the hall still exists, but has long since ceased to be used as a cinema. _accompanied by a soundscape by wouter van nienes, the camera scans the space and slides along soft walls, far views, tiles and old cinema seats. _the work “listens to the echoes of time passing, revealing traces of life, sounds and movements. _ephemeral moments captured by the silent walls of the location the work portrays. _the space stands still and stares out”, vermunt describes. _she presents the work, which was originally made for video, on 16 mm. _with this copy she wants to push light, space and sound into the celluloid and then project it back into space

# 4. INVERSE ME | nina catharina markus | 2019 | 4’49”
no balance without contrasts.
in this fully hand drawn animation the abstract term “inverse” is being visualized. _the main character tries to escape a black and white world but is trapped in a loop of tunnels. _with every tunnel, she discovers a new rule of this unknown worldnina markus (rotterdam, 1993) combines old fashioned handmade drawings with digital techniques. _the material that she used as a child, now defines her work as an artist. _animations, illustrations and paintings, with a focus on animations because of the storytelling possibilities that an intimate story has within an amorphous, abstract space. _her work is rich in contrast and particularly black and white, but colourful in the imagination of her personal quest to identity

# 5. SO LOUD THE SKY CAN HEAR US | lavinia xausa | 2022 | 20'| language: dutch, english subtitles
‘so loud the sky can hear us’ explores the identity of a group of feyenoord supporters. _they unfold a hidden world of faith, love, compassion, and vulnerability. _as xausa attempts to trace back the ‘lost voice of god’ among the voices of the supporters, she wonders how the lost monophony of ancient chants may turn into a new polyphony
