🇫🇷 Ce soir FORÊT, un film d’Evi Cats – d’après le spectacle Forêt d’Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker et Némo Flouret – en ouverture des Journées du Film sur l’Art au Louvre!

🌎 Tonight FORÊT, a film by Evi Cats – based on the production Forêt by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Némo Flouret - will kick off the 18th edition Journées du Film sur l’Art festival at the Louvre!

In 2022, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, together with the young French choreographer Némo Flouret created Forêt a choreography for the Grande Galerie and the Salles Rouges as well as the Italian and French collections of the Louvre. Evi Cats – a regular Rosas collaborator since 2022 – accompanied the rehearsals and performances and created a personal film right in the thick of the live performance. The image of the eleven dancers weaving their way through whirlwinds, shipwrecks and burning cities certainly resonates with our times. The camera moves almost imperceptibly between the dancers and the audience, alternating between intimate close-ups and wide shots of the imposing scenery. All this is accompanied by a musical dramaturgy by Alain Franco. Instead of trying to match the grandeur of the Louvre, he opted to create a kaleidoscopic soundtrack that traverses the space, seeking a connection with the viewer. Unsurprisingly for the Louvre, Mona Lisa has the last word.

🗃️ Uit het archief: Kathy Vanhout over Evi Cats’ 𝘐𝘯 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘢 𝘥𝘪 𝘶𝘯𝘢 𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘢 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘦, waarin een verdwaalde vrouw wandelt door Brussel, op zoek naar een bekend gezicht.

In Cats’ @ritcs.school.of.arts-afstudeerwerk is de stad een haakwerk van mensen die met handen en voeten aan elkaar hangen. Wachtend op de zonnestorm uit de titel, laaft de camera zich alvast aan lijnen in het straatbeeld.

“Ieder mens is de som van gemiste telefoongesprekken, stadswandelingen en verhalen over gebouwen uit een verleden leven. Evi Cats laat heel veel en heel weinig zien, en we begrijpen dat dat alles samenhangt, zij het voor ieder op een verschillende manier. In iedereen woedt namelijk een andere storm en in elk paar ogen heeft het Noorderlicht een andere kleur.” — Kathy Vanhout

De film maakt vanavond deel uit van het kortfilmprogramma “Between Storm and Soil”, gecureerd door Alex Schuurbiers, en voorafgegaan door een diner — om 21u in @het_bos.

ouii ouiii Another Sky is having its world premiere at @idfafestival !

My year of french classes at EPFC led to this short film — about homes in old and new places, and how to describe them in a language that’s still full of doubts.
(Shout out to everyone’s mistakes in any language)

a very small film that i’m very proud of!
merci Maryline Flandre, toute la classe et of course

Peer View - Art & Research Talks #4: On Documentary Film, with Cristina Stuhlberger and Evi Cats
Wednesday 24 June, 17:00 - 20:30h

Peer View is a series of evenings where artists are invited to share their ways of working and to delve deeper into the research behind a finished work of art. For this fourth session, we invite two filmmakers: Evi Cats and Cristina Stuhlberger.

What kinds of dialogues with the world do artists create during the development of new work? What relationships do they have with their sources of inspiration? Which texts are read, which (personal) archives consulted, which conversations held, which field trips undertaken? And how is thinking and working shaped through this material?

In other words: how about the work behind the work?

Christina Stuhlberger is a documentary filmmaker based in Brussels and Vienna. Her work centres on portraiture exploring history and contemporary politics through lived experience. Prior to her education in the arts she obtained a MSc in Environmental Engineering and worked as environmental specialist for the United Nations in Geneva and various national environment agencies.

Before making films, Evi Cats completed her masters degree in Cultural Analysis. Both in her film practice and her theoretical work she is interested in the city, everyday human interactions and small fictions within reality. Looking at Brussels and its social structures, Cats examines the mixture of people and habits in this kaleidoscopic, ever-changing city. She works around questions of the body relating to political spaces; hoping film could be an act of poetic activism.

Curated and organised by Dorine van Meel and Jesse van Winden

Location: Becue top floor (no elevator)
Chaussee de Forest 138, 1060

After Paris, Lisbon and India (yes india) Forêt will be shown for the first time in Brussels at @bozarbrussels ! January 22 & 25, Feb 1st.

In November 2022 we ran and danced (not me) through the empty Louvre at night, rubbing noses with Mona Lisa and shaking hands with the statues during the breaks. Merci @rosasdance , Anne Teresa, Nemo, and all the dancers for the trust. And @duboisdavid_ for being my buddy <3

Come decide for yourself if you’ve ever seen anything more left-wing🤡
