Guillaume Cailleau
In Laborat, filmmaker Guillaume Cailleau interweaves the levels. He documents examinations performed on the object with great precision, while simultaneously reflecting on the process of the documentation itself. Distance to the object becomes suspended. The object becomes the subject, the spectator an accomplice. A tapestry of images. Unease sets in.

“somewhere outside of space and time, beyond concepts expressible by words, we meet, we touch. Everything disappears, it all starts again. But each new page we turn is not blank. And when I look at you I know: we've been here before. One long night of the Fall 2007 I have assisted my girlfriend in giving birth to our son. This is the memory of labor.“ G.C.

Austerity Measures
Ben Russell, Christopher Orr
A color-separation portrait of the Exarchia neighborhood of Athens, Greece, made during the Anti-Austerity protests in late 2011. In a place thick with stray cats and scooters, cops and Molotovs, ancient myths and new ruins; where fists are raised like so many columns in the Parthenon, this is a film of surfaces - of grafitti'd marble streets and wheat-pasted city walls - hand-processed in red, green, and blue.
