Divine Victorine What is a film studio? It's a multitude of shed-like buildings of varying sizes set on a piece of wasteland. This is exactly what we find at the Victorine Studios, except that the site overlooks Nice and the Mediterranean. The spot is not only remarkable but filled with ghosts. Visit.

My New Friends Tsai interrupted his pre-production for The River to make this pioneering documentary for Taiwan's nascent AIDS-awareness campaign. Ignoring instructions to 'play down the gay angle', he centres the film on his own very candid conversations with two HIV+ young men. Sadly the identities of the interviewees have to be concealed, and so the freewheeling camerawork focuses most often on Tsai himself; but the sense of rapport between the director and his 'new friends' is palpable and very moving, even to Western viewers already only too familiar with these issues.

Dance Macabre Audiovisual installation (loop), triptych with 3 synchronized HD video projections, 5.1 surround sound Enclosed in a spherical world we travel simultaneously in three different points both models, but miniature and gigantic at the same time. The scenes represented by the model are ghostly and immobile vestiges of the medieval iconography which are deformed, transformed and destroyed to finally reborn. The meeting of three disproportionates human skulls, vanities, triggers perturbation up to chaos. Skeletons dance to announce this change. A cycle of continual construction and deconstruction takes place.
