Symen and Sam try to pass their time in the monotony of a post-industrial suburb. They seem to linger in a kind of perpetual twilight that is answered by the invisible presence of ‘Hardcore’. While gaming and burning daylight, they end up searching for the core of their desires.

Black and White Trypps Number Three
Ben Russell, 2007, US, 35mm, 12'

The third part in a series of films dealing with naturally-derived psychedelia. Shot during a performance by Rhode Island noise band Lightning Bolt, this film documents the transformation of a rock audience’s collective freak-out into a trance ritual of the highest spiritual order.

Terril
Jorn Plucieniczak, 2022, BE, DCP, 28'

Mike returns home after time away. He tries to find his place within the social structures of his family and friends. The mining landscape of Genk provides unusual openings. Set in the deindustrialised city, the film depicts the masculine dynamics within a working-class family. Terril patiently moves between these social codes and the landscape in which they manifest themselves.
