STUK presents a special evening in the context of the exhibition, with a programme with films chosen by the artist. As an introduction to the film programme Anouk De Clercq will interview Desamory. Afterwards Kapital Band 1 will play a concert in the café.

At 8 p.m. Lucile Desamory presents a compilation of short films by herself and by artists whom she considers important with regard to her own work. Venue is Cinema Zed (on the premises of STUK).

Apart from these, there is work by Isabell Spengel, and short films by Margaret Tait (1918-1999) and Marie Menken (1909-1970).

Menken was one of the major avant-garde filmmakers in New York, active between 1940 and 1960.
