Podczas pokazu we współpracy z KASKcinema w Gent 30 kwietnia 2025 r. zaprezentujemy program RAW, którego kuratorem jest Wout Biesmans. Program powstał na bazie konkursu, który swoją pierwszą odsłonę miał podczas festiwalu Short Waves 2023 roku. RAW został stworzony, aby zapewnić większą widoczność produkcjom, które często znajdują się poza kanonem klasycznych festiwali filmowych ze względu na swoją unikatową sygnaturę. Program ten jest odpowiedzią na szerszą dyskusję na temat tego, kto kształtuje promocję kultury i kto definiuje granice między kinem a sztuką medialną.
RAW oznacza refleksję, przygodę i badania. Spodziewaj się połączenia animacji, multimediów i filmu autorskiego, który stoi na przecięciu kina i eksperymentu. W menu: filmowanie tygrysa tasmańskiego, filmowiec z obsesją na punkcie ping ponga, dwie cyberprzestrzenie – jedna z nich pokazuje delfina w wolnym związku z piętnastoma nadmuchiwanymi zwierzętami, haiku, opowieść o duchach i młodym człowieku, który marzy o tym, by pewnego dnia móc latać.

Po pokazie przygotowanym we współpracy z KASKcinema odbędzie się Q&A z Lucie Grannec i Spencerem Jamesem Bogaertem.
