<br>'''Project title:''' Carnation

'''Logline''': Carnation is a film about two men that find their way through a time-worn house like it’s nothing new, but while one of them tries to take care of the other, nothing is sure at the same time. 

'''Artist Bio''': Pelle Nijburg (1994, The Netherlands) is a filmmaker based in Utrecht. She likes to research modern phenomena and has a soft spot for archive material. Her working method could be described as a sort of ''sight seeking,'' it's a selfmade word that could be explained as: exploring by observing, making and reflecting. Her films are narratively based on true events, but she doubts the use of the word 'true', so it's rather narratively based on noteworthy happenings.

<br>
'''Project Title:''' The Sun Burns An Image Into My Eye

<br>
'''Logline:''' Shannon’s two channel video installation, ''The Sun Burns An Image Into My Eye,'' asks, are we permeable? Are the boundaries that separate us less clear than we think? Can we reach across distances, through what remains? The installation invites viewers to look over the 'table' and gaze out a 'window' to look closely at the transformative cycles meandering through mundane life—of baking, gardening, mushrooms decomposing dead animals, a leaky shower—to look for resonance, insight, and meaning.


'''Bio:''' Arising from a process of observation, daily documentation, and self archiving, and drawing on widely accessible mediums of phone photography and video, Shannon’s multidisciplinary practice focuses on mundanity and transience. Recent works apply a perspective of empathy and vulnerability within the interaction between humans and other living beings. Born in Baltimore and previously NY-based, she is a recent graduate of the Piet Zwart Institute: Lens-Based Media MFA program in Rotterdam.

<br>
'''Project''': Parasite by Proxy <br>
'''Logline:''' Aitan's documentary Parasite by Proxy explores the Crypto Jews of Mashhad. Marginalised in Persia, some migrated to Palestine. Eventually they had a majority status as Jews - the guest became the host. The filmmaker integrates this inherited history and identity -victim/benefactor, host/parasite. You are invited to feed on the work in this two-channel film installation.'''<br>'''
'''Artist Bio:''' Aitan Ebrahimoff (1991) is an artist filmmaker based in Amsterdam. His short films combine speculation, documentary and science fiction. With a media design practice he blurs the line between video art and cinema, building hybrid realities with human and non-human actors.<br>
Research and writing are important tools in his process, whereby scripts are used to structure associative narrative elements. Whether factual or fantasy, his films blend genres and incoporate cultural observations which are rooted in reality.<br>

'''Eir-PG'''<br> Eir-PG  invites you to peruse the visual machinations of an alternative Ireland . Indulge yourself in this mischievous one-man-show.

'''Project description''' 

''If I was a Rocket'' (working title) is a non-linear film essay, merging multiple narratives which investigate personal memory, dreams and geological time. A sonic and visual dwell through memory-space and the mists of time reveals an intimate journey to the inner world of the mysterious narrator. 

'''Bio'''<br>
Kotryna Buruckaitė (b. 1992) - is a Lithuanian visual artist/filmmaker currently based in Amsterdam. In her work she investigates humans in (a)typical settings. Fascinated by the pleasure of observing others, Kotryna interrogates one’s interpersonal relationship with the world. With a touch of fiction and absurdity to it, she questions the world's given “set of rules“ and the irregular nature of the mind.

'''Yuqing Cao'''

+31 0616064098   yuqingcao0339@gmail.com

'''Project Title:''' One-bedroom-One, single channel, 16’45”

'''Logline:''' “One-Bedroom-One” is an experimental film combining narrative moving images with found footage. It unfolds from an orally-told experience: a young lady tried to find strangers to chat with on a dating app, in order to relieve her loneliness and emptiness. She stumbled upon a stranger with a strange nickname, who locked himself out of the flat, and was forced to pass the time in a nearby park. They each tried to enter this cyberspace to escape the emotional predicament of the moment. 

'''Artist bio:''' Yuqing Cao (b.1998) works with images, videos and texts. She pays attention to the intimate relationship between people, constantly excavating the hidden reality in daily life, focusing on the narrative of individual experience, and using images to explore the implicit connection between social space and private emotions.

Drawing upon archival materials, personal narratives, and visual representations, the installation reconstructs his intellectual contributions, artistic endeavors, and societal impact. By critically examining his work, both within and beyond the family sphere, ''Your Boris'' aims to provide a portrait of my great-grandfather, highlighting the profound influence he exerted on his contemporaries and subsequent generations.

'''Bio:'''

Maruša Vehovar from Slovenia, born 1996, is a visual artist based in Rotterdam. She graduated at Academy of Fine Arts and Design (ALUO) in Ljubljana.

Her work aims to communicate and awaken feeling through short surrealistic narratives. She is interested in creating spaces which often work as a performance or interactive involvement leaving each viewer with an experience of their own.

'''Project: T R A V E L E R (working title)'''<br>

'''Logline'''<br>
There are moments in everyday life that get us to stop for a second and admire whatever caught our gaze. These moments are what can often keep me going through out stressful days, weeks and months. At some point though these small in between moments aren't enough anymore. I got to a point like that not to long ago and decided to embark on a journey, searching for an experience greater than these little moments, greater than myself, to experience what people call The Sublime.

With the objective off developing his own visual language within a moving-imagie-field, his Graduate Project "Quick Bites" acted as a creative playground for the creation of a collection of short sequences and films, with the final work in that collection being the short film T R A V E L E R (in progress)

'''Bio'''<br>
Luca Ottmann is a German filmmaker and photographer based in Rotterdam. His background and prior study in editorial and documentary photography can be found in both his cinematographic work and creative process. Driven by a constant urge to document the world around him most of his work is based in real locations and comes with a certain avant-garde approach to it. (in progress) <br>

'''Logline'''

The single channel work Silk Stone Stream shows a meandering exploration of grief. 

Through collage-like still images we learn about a relationship between a grandfather and a granddaughter, and their connection to the piece of land they call home. A child-like story creates its own symbology. 

'''Bio'''

Veere van Gent (1993)  is a multidisciplinary artist based in Amsterdam.  She has a background working in art departments for film and television. She is often inspired by the details of the natural world. Image is always at the start of her process, helping her understand connections otherwise hidden. She has made a deep dive into her family relations during her Master at the Piet Zwart Institute, exploring the myths and stories families are sustained in.

'''Logline'''

An exploration of my Chinese/Surinamese heritage, identity and feelings of unbelonging.

'''Bio'''

My name is Mathilde (1995) and I am a photographer specialised in fashion and portraiture. I would describe my work as dreamy movie stills with an element of magical realism. I'm inspired by the magical mundane of Ghlibi movies as well as the dramatic Wong Kar Wai visuals. Lens Based Media was a great way for me to explore my creative mind and unlock mental blocks that I had unwittingly learned as well as diving into my family history.
