1. Master Film, a collection of Visual Abstracts
‘Visual Abstracts’: neither trailer or teaser for a film or art project, but short audio-visual summaries of the graduates’ research. 

2. Alex Perry
Borrowed Time
Installation with 3 screens
These screens show two works in progress - Estates is a short drama about loss and forgiveness, while How to be Alone is an ongoing journal film that contemplates my relationship to some of the themes in Estates. The publication can be seen as a bridge between the two projects; a viewer’s guide for anyone wishing to understand more about the creative process behind these two fundamentally sovereign but inexorably bound pieces of work.

3. Louis Hothothot
12 Moments
Book + three video fragments
The book documents, in 12 moments, the research trip Louis Hothothot made in China at the end of 2016, beginning of 2017. Using photographs, text and graphic design the book reflects on Louis’ roots, the story of his birth and his identity - thus revealing moments of pain and desire.

Each of the three video fragments focuses on one of those 12 moments.

As an Author, as a Son
Reconstruction of an archive
Printed photographs from Louis Hothothot’s family archive, combined with historical footage. Using his own subjective take on the archival footage he links the past of his own family to Mao’s political legacy. 

4. Gustavo Lorgia Garnica
Past Imaginaries/Futures Images
Multimedia Installation
Material intervention on monochromatic images based on the representation of indigenous peoples, from colonial found footage of the EYE Film Museum and Gustavo Lorgia’s personal archive gathered on the first ethnographic field trip of his research. Visual essays reflect on the intervention, to measure the distance between the two aesthetic imaginaries.

5. María Molina Peiró
One Year Life Strata
New media project
One Year Life Strata is a new media project that emerged from an experiment Maria Molina did in 2015. After impulsively recollecting her daily life with a camera during a full year, the experiment became an interactive project that offers a novel experience on digital forgetting and data visualisation.  The project intends to open a reflection on the indiscriminate use of digital memory and the value of forgetting. 

The interactive installation is composed of three screens and a data topographic section, of the full year’s images, printed in 3d.  

6. Sophie Dixon
Place  in Memory  I   Memory in Place : re-membering the past.
Mixed reality installation
Sophie Dixon has been working with Virtual and Mixed reality to create new experiences around a place with exists in memory.

Srbská, (previously named Wünschendorf) is the context for her research - a village in the Sudetenland region of northern Czech Republic, which fell t  ruin after it's entire population were exiled in 1946.

On permanent display is her  online research dossier and a showreel of her work. She will be demonstrating her Mixed Reality work in progress, The Chorus at scheduled times during the show.

7. Emilio Reyes Bassail
Memory as a methodology for filmmaking
Installation with three video screens
I wanted to understand the process of memory through its visualization. To do so, I developed a methodology for filmmaking that embodies memory as a core mechanism in every step of the production process. I wrote down my memories, did spoken portraits about people from my past, scouted locations drawn from memory, developed a technique to cast and direct actors through a dialogue of memories and edited the film through a process of memory associations. The result is a film-memory, a test case in memory as an act of creation.  

8. Lisa-Marie Vlietstra
Fractal Story Space - The Seventh Pain
Installation
This Fractal Story Space is an ephemeral storage space  & a fluid archive of The Seventh Pain; an imagined ‘film’ about the lives of Leni Tanzer that I explore through three expanded cinema performances that question the (ab)use of power in relation to the (ab)use of trust; viewed from different perspectives within different relationships in confrontation with the construction of cinema. This archive will be 'activated' through continuous performative interactions between the director, her actress and the archive.
