The Palast der Republik opened in 1976 as a meeting place for the East German people and an emblem of the future. the unique modern building made of distinctive golden-mirrored windows was home to not just the East German Parliament but also auditoriums, art galleries, five restaurants, concert halls, and even a bowling alley. Later, thousands of citizens demonstrated against the planned demolition , but alas, one day, twenty years after the fall of the Berlin wall, the Palace completely disappeared.

Dead sEEquences/Fabio Scacchioli/Italie/2009/4'10

This is a study about the vanishing of an image."Dead SEEquences" is composed of 3775 frames. Working frame by frame, we find that nothing happens inside each single image, but all pass between the frames, in the invisible gap that separe one by others. The film is here, but there isn't anything to see, the most important remain invisible and uncertain. There is no truth to discover. The truth is always elsewhere.

Body of war/Isabel Rocamora/Espagne/2010/21'27

Body of War reﬂects on how a man becomes a soldier through the relentless repetition of acts of violence. Set in the Normandy Landing geography, punctuated by testimonies of serving soldiers, a visceral hand-to-hand combat is gradually deconstructed – inviting the viewer to engage in the relationship between intimacy and brutality.
