Der Lauf der Dinge

Artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss create the ultimate Rube Goldberg machine. The pair used found objects to construct a complex, interdependent contraption in an empty warehouse. When set in motion, a domino-like chain reaction ripples through the complex of imaginative devices. Fire, water, the laws of gravity, and chemistry determine the life-cycle of the objects. The process reveals a story concerning cause and effect, mechanism and art, and improbability and precision, in an extended science project that will mesmerize the mind.

De tijd

The point of departure for this film is the 1981 composition De Tijd by Dutch composer Louis Andriessen.

These images are associations, fragments of events, scenes and situations. The film is preceded by a text by Bert Schierbeek.

Ava Gardner, la vie est plus belle que le cinéma

A barefoot contessa, a screwed-up princess, an exquisite drunk, a bawdy aristocrat, a nightmare for puritanical America and the moguls of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Ava Gardner never stopped loving those she loved.
