11: 00 Zoe Beloff

Zoe Beloff will discuss works she is presenting in the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2015 program, including:

The Infernal Dream of Mutt and Jeff (2012) Two cartoon figures from the thirties physically endure social progress and industrial management. In this reflection on the eternal problem of work pressure, a video projection presents a lesson in efficiency, a case of contagious paranoia, and an instructional film in which objects take on a life of their own.

Glass House (2014)

Beloff attempts to visualise a script that Eisenstein never succeeded in filming. The result is a merry excursion in the brain of a visionary avant-garde artist.
