Poem: Love and Late Capitalism<\/strong> by Howie Good<\/font><\/p>\n

Synopsis<\/strong> – It’s a bleak world out there<\/font><\/p>\n

Director: Swoon<\/strong> (Belgium)<\/font><\/p>\n

“His work is provocative, beautiful and disturbing. Using words as guidelines, Marc Neys creates video and soundscapes using a blend of layered images. His work is instantly recognizable for the skill with which he extracts new meaning from the words he illuminates. Image, sound, voice combine seamlessly to create something fresh, and often startling in Swoon’s work. His works have been featured at film festivals all over the world.” – Erica Goss<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

“The work of Swoon transports us to a state of attention and reverie at the same time, and then sends us each on our own inner investigations. Meditations on Nature, Time, Art, the human condition, and the spiritual cost of modernity – these are some of the dizzy heights that Swoon’s audiovisual essays explore.” Yahia Lababidi<\/em><\/font>
