		Autoportrait, con fuoco, 4:27 min Martin Messier (CA), 2009 A submerged face, latent, despite the tension between air escaping out the nostrils and water gradually seeping in. Like two conflict-ing elements in a single body — a struggle experienced internally, in weightless time. Then eyes that finally open, renewing hope of seeing the head emerge from water. Getting some air. Something like a dream of waking up, maybe. Features are then obliterated in the waves, the better to dissolve one’s being.
		Mother Dance, 2:30 min Niina Hartikainen (FI/GB), 2009 'MOTHER DANCE' is a culmination of year and a half's work; from weaving a woollen rug to shooting a 16mm film.
