Het Bos, Antwerp

A lost woman wanders through Brussels. She is looking for a familiar face, but only encounters streets that no longer exist and strangers she will never get to know. When a mysterious man tells her about a forecasted solar storm, the strange day falls ominously into place. 

Filmmakers Samuel M. Delgado and Helena Girón go in search of the last living witch in Ye, a village on the island of Lanzarote. The soundtrack features old recordings of preachers discussing the mythical existence of witches. Meanwhile, we see images of elderly women picking roots and plants on the island. The magic of their stories comes alive when darkness falls. Night is the time when travel is possible. But airplanes did not yet exist: travel happened through their prayers. 

Lynne Sachs is een Amerikaanse experimentele kunstenaar en dichter. Haar documentaires en essayistische films vertrekken steeds vanuit een feministisch perspectief, waarin ze sociale kritiek verweeft met een persoonlijke subjectiviteit. In Same Stream Twice filmt ze haar dochter twee keer, op zes- en op zestienjarige leeftijd, terwijl die rondjes rond haar moeder, de filmmaker, loopt.

Barbara Meter, born in 1939, is one of The Netherlands’ leading experimental filmmakers. Recently, the Eye Filmmuseum restored much of her work, including Andante Ma Non Troppo. In it, Meter explores what it means to look with the camera.
