	Pierre-Yves Cruaud Le Silence est en Marche France 2001, 3'30” Short, poetic and experimental video. Digital technology is used to evoke an 'analog feel'. Human-like apparitions are moving inside a territory with fictional borders.
	Brian MacDonald Sex + Sadness (Part 1, 2 & 3) Canada 2001, 21' Stylized videos about love and sexual relationships, featuring a boy and a girl in three separate little dramas.
	Nik Kern Mountain Mover Duitsland 2001-2002, 7'00" A man travels on foot, towing a miniature model of a mountainous landscape on wheels. In the mountains he looks for the landscape that inspired his model. A risky undertaking with a catastrophic ending.
	George Barber River Sky UK 2002, 7' Barber hangs volunteers by their feet from a construction on a boat on the river Thames, with comical effect. The disoriented persons describe their impressions as the river landscape slowly rolls by. Walking Off Court 2003, 10' This video is constructed around a telephone conversation with Goodman– once a talented tennis player– who tells Barber how he spends his days near motorways, shouting tennis scores at the traffic.
	Pablo Pijnappel 1921 - 1977, 1979 - Netherlands 2001, 9' A short, autobiographical video that was partly compiled from the Super-8 films someone made during travels in search of his mother. The story ends two generations later with his grandson who is looking for his own identity.
	Seoungho Cho Orange Factory 2002, 11'38" Korean country lanes at twilight. A voice-over reminisces about moments of pain and abandonment. Cho applies light, colour and an alienating soundtrack to recount his personal history.
	Bull.Miletic You Are Here USA 2001, 3'11" A robot-aided recording in the famous 'Racetrack' riverbed in Death Valley, with its mysterious wandering rocks. A video about the discrepancy between the mapping of reality and the reality of experience. Whir 2002, 12' Synne Bull and Dragan Miletic do not view the city as a clearly recognizable spatial structure, but rather as a set of activities, systems and information streams. Their visualization of how they see down-town San Francisco is impressive.
