Sacred Clockworks

Moritz Schuchmann
SYNOPSIS
The experimental film Sacred Clockworks reflects religion through photographic animation of their impressive sacral architecture. Thereby the domes of churches, mosques or synagogues are treated like clockworks – infinitely continuous, embodying thousands of years of history. The film examines the dome’s distinctive structure built from multiple layers of circular patterns. It pays homage to the beautiful art that emerged from religious institutions without overlooking the fact that these same institutions led to violence, suffering and death. The film reminds us of the commonalities of different religions by examining the similarities of their sacral architecture. A statement for more tolerance and against any fundamentalism.

A Time to Mend

Raffaele Rezzonico
SYNOPSIS
A Time to Mend is a research on the living body that plays and suffers, in the tension between the universalising geometric digitalization and the individual residue that is always specific, analogical, refractory. 
46 different times, as many possibilities to instantly improvise a way to go through the empty time of a convalescence, are brought together in a single space of vision.
A space-out-of-time that once was sacred and that nowadays has become scientific, biological.
