Suggestions from the Directory

Todays Art, The Hague 


Thoughts as stories.
Consiousness as spectacle. 
Film as portrayal of the mind.






There is another kind of film that flips the equation and points our interest in a new direction.


They aren’t just about topics, they look out into the world but also inwards, exploring how we think about what we see.





We live in a present - submerged in audiovisual sensory data that exceeds the grasp of literary conceptions.






If we are submerged
in sounds and images;
Can we somehow use them
to stay afloat?
