The acceleration and abstraction of trading (from commodities to financial products to sets of data) here takes a major leap as we examine algorithmic trading and the people who perform this type of work. In the end, nothing gets explained and we remain on the outside looking in. Algorithm is an essay impression of a specific area of high finance, set high in the sky in futuristic buildings populated by sharply-dressed characters speaking a mysterious language.

CONSEIL D'ETAT 2016

Film 7 min 32"

Images from the Expo 1958 in Brussels exude faith in modernity, the future, and the possibilities of technology. The soundtrack is from the 1980s, when a series of attacks unsettled Belgium. Sound and image, fear and optimism collide.

TRINITITE 2018

World Premiere FIDMarseille 13-07-2018 22h

AVEC SA MAIN DANS SA POCHE

Directed by Fanny Zaman & Dominik Daggelinckx

PITCH

Our national post war history (Belgium) is idiosyncratically marked in our own memory through a series of iconic images. The film deals with sound and image concerning awakening, emancipation, halt and decay but not necessarily chronological.

Duration 20'

Conseil d’Etat a short 7’32 screened at FIDMarseille 2016 is the first of a series. TRINITITE (released Summer 2018) is the second. Both films are pseudo didactic alternative school lectures dealing with obscure details in our national history. Conspiracy flavour, a neutral didactic voice, evidence brought to light by changing the context or by changing the score. 

TRINITITE 2018 '20 deals with Belgian post war history, with sound and image concerning awakening, emancipation, halt and decay.

The film reflects upon the coming of age of a country in sync with our own coming of age in the backdrop of the Cold War era.

The footage stems from national television reportages dealing with public interviews questioning class and gender at school, at work and in the private atmosphere, in the late sixties, early seventies. The national archive is rearranged and looked at from a contemporary point of view.

WATCH TRAILER

​

ALGORITHM 2015 is the last chapter of a trilogy set in the world of finance.

The trilogy observes the growing abstraction of the economy where data is step by step taking over “real” trade. The chapters all focus on theatrical performativity of speech and gesture of the characters and their specific scenography.

ALGORITHM is an essayistic impression of a specific part of high finance. It is set high in the sky in a scenography of futuristic high tech buildings populated by sharp dressed characters speaking a mysterious language.
