  5. Bowie’s Berlin - Matt Lambert, 00:03:32 Matt Lambert’s work is all about the power and intimacy of sexuality, the thrill of being an outsider and the questioning of identity. All of these themes could coalesce in the work of one man; David Bowie.

To let the good and the bad go, until a new vision will be revealed through a leap toward an unexplored emptiness.

  11. Bello, Monica Menez, 00:05:10 ‘What people do when no one is watching’ – this could easily have been the title of Monica Menez´ new fashion film. "Bello" tells a frivolous and catty story about a classic love triangle, where a housemaid takes revenege on her employer. A film full of bizarre situational comedy and surprising dance elements.

  12. A Hommage to David Bowie in Sound and Vision, CANADA, 00:07:34 Catalan director collective CANADA, Sound and Vision is an homage to late pop icon David Bowie.

  13. ‘Make Yourself Unstoppable’ Strellson, Wolf & Lamm, 00:03:47 The film communicates Strellson's desire to inspire men through its authentic fashion to go with their own intuition and not let anything stand in their way.

  3. Kai Dunkel - Horos, Nico Meyer-Brenkhof, 01:50 We follow passages into an underworld that leads us to a non-place. A state where strong controlled seams fit the form, manifest confidence & authority.

  4. GABRIEL+GUEVARA, Rob Truijen, 01:00 "in search of whiteness - in praise of shadows serpent's embrace follows its venom, life and legend, shedding skin; into oasis' night sky, shining bright in equilibrium, to jaguar's patches dancing in the dark, wings uncoil."

The bag is produced with the greatest care, from the stitching of the lining to the punching of the leather, the labels and the packman detail on the zipper. All components are dissected to create more awareness for the whole process.

  8. Canted Conscience, Thomas Nuyten 02:41 The collection was based on the way the absolute communal conscience has been pushed aside by the arrival of the „individual conscience” with the start of the past era (the age of Pisces). With the start of the age of Aquarius we can revive this communal conscience that has been lost for millennia, and combine it with our current individual conscience into a new society. We wanted to translate this concept to film by focusing on the shift of the individual on its own, to being part of a group, a whole, while keeping the personal traits intact. Different characters, shapeshifting and uniting into one.

  9. Debora Dax, '6 OBJECTS - Projecting Identity Expressions’- Documentary, 10:00 The artistic documentary that gives the audience insight into the experiences, wishes and needs of people who consciously express their identity and enables questions about how we experience, judge or define identity.
