Podesta Island
According to Google Earth, Podesta Island does exist.According to Wikipedia, Podesta Island does not exist.So does it exist?

Are there still uncharted regions in our hyper-connected, mapped world? By comparing documentary sources with the stories and legends inspired by the island, the film Podesta Island paints a portrait of a controversial ghost island. Combining satellite imagery and real footage, this journey to Terra Incognita celebrates imaginary geography.

Stéphanie Roland is a Brussels-based visual artist and filmmaker. Hovering between documentary and imaginary, her films and installations explore the invisible structures of the Western world, the large scales of time, and hyperobjects. She draws her inspiration from a wide range of subjects, from environmentalism and politics to geology and the cosmos.Having graduated from Brussels’ La Cambre and studied with Hito Steyerl at the UDK Berlin, she completed a course in France at Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains. Her projects regularly feature in exhibitions at internationally renowned institutions, such as the Venice Biennale, the Centre Pompidou, the Louvre, the Benaki Museum, the Botanique, the Kampala International Art Biennale, Wiels, and ISELP. Breda Photo, Belfast Photo Festival, Manifesto, Encontros da Imagem, BIP Liège, Month of Photography Los Angeles, and Unseen are some of the photography festivals in which she has participated.Her first film, Podesta Island, won the Alice Guy prize at the FID Marseille while her second, Le cercle vide, won the TËNK prize at the Visions du Réel festival in Nyon.

Screening of Time, Displaced (2023, 28’) by Juan Arturo Garcia
as part of Transitions Maastricht
Saturday 12th of October, 7-9pm
Tickets link in bio

Time, Displaced
‘Time, displaced’ is a research project and a fiction film about a real nuclear reactor in Colombia, a story in which various realities, at opposite ends of various spectrums, collide.
When an atomic clock inside a nuclear reactor in Bogotá lags for one second – an event that happens once every 30 million years – two characters begin listening to strange sounds that no one else hears. Time is displaced and continually disputed for the protagonists, as they pass their days under the influence of a decades-old nuclear reactor, a relic of the Cold War holding nuclear waste with a millenary half-life, and the millions of years required for the formation of mountains, which are studied at the reactor, at the atomic level.
Radioactivity and applications like geochronology are used as props to explore the paradoxes of trying to visualize phenomena that we cannot directly hear, in a medium in which we can’t directly see them. This translation, or poetics of displacement, taps into the present cultural, mystical, and political consequences of such technological deployments in Latin America.

Juan Arturo García is an artist and filmmaker hailing from Mexico and currently based in The Netherlands. His work explores accented ways of living, their biopolitical affordances and tactics for their representation. The overarching interest in his research is the issue of translation, in a sense that is not limited to linguistics, but also as a geometric/geographic term. By forcing "friction" between these two different understandings of translation, he looks at the “collateral damage” of such movements. His latest research examines the production of scientific knowledge in Latin America throughout history, with a particular focus on how a complex intertwining of technical, cultural, mystical, and political desires have been deployed – and how to understand their consequences.

Curated Filmprogramme at Transitions MaastrichtSaturday 12th of October 7-9pm
Cinema Maastricht
more info: link in bio!

We are thrilled announce that we have been asked to curate a filmprogramme as part of Transitions Maastricht, a filmfestival for experimental film organized by

Barely Measurable
Exploring the feeling that the world can still be enchanted, this experimental filmprogramme provides a space to question your perception of reality, to doubt what you know and to wonder if what you see and hear is real. We follow ghost islands in imaginary geographies, listen to the atomic time, and find our inner thoughts enlarged under the microscope. Multiple realities come together and are interchanged, question our perception of the world and the narratives that shape it. We dive deep into our psyche and, sometimes metaphorically, get lost at sea.
In a captivating cinematographic mix of scientific images, archive footage, fictions, illusions, anecdotical voice-overs and sensorial observations, these films will leave you with wonder about the world.

is an audiovisual platform based in Maastricht, geared toward adventurous filmmakers who move outside of the confinements of the film industry. Through several original events, such as a filmmakers camp-in, an editing sprint, the unfinished film festival or open calls for projects that need some productional support, they support filmmakers in the conceptual development, production and distribution of their work.

(what you see is what you get) is an organisation from The Hague that creates space for artists with film-making practices. Through experimentation with events, programming, and dialogue, wysiwyg strengthens the playful exchange between artists, audiences and works. By weaving local and international networks, they add a stronger position for artists with film-making practices in the cinematic landscape.

is a Rotterdam-based collective and project space for artists’ moving image. We provide a platform for exhibitions, screenings and workshops, with a focus on artworks which challenge existing orthodoxies, and propose alternative historical, political and aesthetic perspectives. We host a monthly online screening programme, accompanied by a podcast. WET also acts as a support structure for both its members and the artists with whom we work, assisting in the production of works through the exchange of labour, equipment and expertise.

is a non-profit film collective, founded in 2021, with its roots in The Hague and Istanbul. While having its artists and writers maintain tbeir creative autonomy during the collective production process, the objectives of Chute are to express its intellectual currents through the essays it publishes; to create an artists' catalogue by bringing to life the visual language of its filmmakers; and in the long term, to establish a sustainable and expandable archive of experimental film and writing.

Cinema Collectiva presents!
Wednesday 15th November, 8pm

Tickets link in bio!

Cinema Collectiva presents a film night and talk around the theme of Collective Cinema,
collaboratively co-programmed by four self-organised cinema collectives:
Besides the films
themselves, Cinema Collectiva focuses on self-organised spaces and practices that enable
the collective viewing of films. Artist-run, grassroots, underground, self-organised cinema
collectives resist the commodification and individualisation of the film industry and move
outside of the set parameters for screening films.

This event brings grassroots cinema collectives together and explores different ways of
self-organisation within. Cinema Collectiva will create a communal space to exchange
experiences with other self-organised cinema collectives, to find like-minded souls to start
new initiatives with, to share thoughts and experiment with (other) ways of watching
together.

This evening we will present some of the outcomes and insights from the Green Screen
collective sessions.

Hello followers! We need your help! Our friends at are fundraising to buy generators and transport them into Ukraine, where they will be allocated to local communities. Please consider donating through our link in bio.

What’s the plan?

We are raising money to buy generators for at-risk Ukrainians, particularly in the east of the country. With winter approaching, escalating Russian bombardment of civilian infrastructure, a lingering humanitarian crisis and less support from abroad, there is an increased need for aid which can provide essentials such as electricity. Generators are used for basic amenities and communication in recently de-occupied areas near the frontline, in rural communities, in field hospitals and for reconstruction projects. They are currently extremely hard to source and very expensive in Ukraine. We will buy the generators in Poland and organise transport to eastern Ukraine. We’re asking for your help to ensure that these communities make it through the winter.

In Noordzee/North Sea, and take on the role of roving interviewers on an overnight ferry between the Netherlands and the UK. Passengers on the ferry muse on their journey, daily worries and the role of friendship in their lives, producing a snapshot of a temporary community created by their enforced proximity to one another. The use of the ‘talking heads’ format to create a portrait of a place takes inspiration from examples of interview-films made by Krzysztof Kieślowski, Pier Paulo Pasolini and Sharon Hayes.

Fresh from Lens Based, presents his beautiful short Residual Light - Beneath the Floating Land on Sunday 9 October at at

The film is based on the daily landscape along the Chaotianmen Dock and riverbank in Chongqing, a city in Southwest China. The sight follows the lens as it wanders between the riverside and the navigation, and travels through different spaces and gatherings.

At the same time, intertwined with these gazes at the landscape, the tourists and the locals, is a description of the landscape that spans time and space, narrated by a dialect voice-over, excerpted and adapted from the diary of a 19th-century British merchant-adventurer Mr. and Mrs. Archibald Little on their voyage through the Three Gorges into West China. Contemplating the relationship between the residues of history and modernities, the film traces an ambiguous zone that accommodates the complexity between history and reality through these fragmented landscapes and memories.

A century ago film was essentially about showing. The travelogue showed landscapes, usually on the move. The camera was attached to a car or train. In this experimental programme at Galerie de Jaloezie presents a selection of shorts about the space between two places, fictive or real.

The short film 7 Queens by and distributed by can best be described as a kind of ‘antiethnographic’ stroll: “I walked for about fiften miles under the number 7 subway line in Queens, New York, recording fleeting moments with people I encountered along the way.”

She continues: “From the outset I knew I wanted to make a film that would try to reflect the fragility and violence of the place, the beauty and squalor that reigned, its chaotic ordering. The tiny, bounded urban locality also encapsulated much larger narratives in the history of the country—such as postindustrialization, immigration, political violence, environmental decay, and the breakdown of democracy.”
