This film program by Satellietgroep features contributions by international video artists and is screened in a unique setting, transforming a wasteland into an open-air cinema.. Themed around the concept of 'time that is to come'.
It is imminent that times will change, as Joseph Beuys stated in his work  'New Beginnings Are in the Offing' (1981). This special screeningprogram is curated by Eliane Esther Bots, filmmaker and co-curator of Satellietgroep for 'Now Wakes The Sea'.
The short movie 'Dome- The Cone of Silence' she produced as artist in residence at Badgast is recently selected out of 2800 films for the International Short Film Festival - Curta Cinema Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

NEW BEGINNINGS ARE IN THE OFFING
Film Program REWIRE curated by Satellietgroep
Duration: 90 min. English spoken

01. Rebecca Baron 
‘The idea of North’ – 16mm (1995) 14 min.
In the guise of chronicling the final moments of three polar explorers marooned on an ice floe a century ago, Baron’s film investigates the limitations of images and other forms of record as a means of knowing the past and the paradoxical interplay of film time, historical time, real time and the fixed moment of the photograph. Marrying matter-of-fact voiceover and allusive sound fragments, evidence and illustration, in Baron’s words, “meaning is set adrift”.

02. Salise Hughes 
‘Tidal wave’ (2005) 2 min.
The narrator of the film, who is reciting his own dream, has been plagued with dreams of tidal waves before he was old enough to know what one was, or ever saw the ocean. www.salisehughes.blogspot.nl

03. Felix E. Feist 
Excerpt of ‘Deluge’ (1933) 4'28 min.
‘Deluge’ is an almost-forgotten early American disaster movie. For decades, it was thought that all prints had been lost, but an export version, dubbed into Italian and shortened by ten minutes, was found in the 1980s. This video shows only the disaster -the unexplained destruction of New York (and the rest of the world) by earthquake and flood- itself. A gigantic model of lower Manhattan was built, with breakaway buildings shaken to pieces and then washed away by thousands of gallons of water from dumptanks.

08. Mels van Zutphen 
'St. Kilda' (2003) 15 min.
St. Kilda, off the west coast of Scotland, is the most remote archipelago of Great Britain, with the tallest cliffs. This group of islands is still known for its large populations of puffins and gannets. For centuries, a small community was able to survive here on a few square kilometres, practically isolated from the outside world. But the last islanders were evacuated in 1930. The only two survivors of this period are old now and quite unapproachable. St. Kilda is a film about rituals, birds, bold ventures by bachelors, and big toes. www.melsvanzutphen.nl

09. Diego Maclean’s 
‘The art of drowning’ (2009) 2'08 min. 
The Art of Drowning is a short animated film directed by Diego Maclean. It is based on a poem by the same name written by American poet Billy Collins. In it we ponder the possibilities of what awaits us at the end of our lives. www.billy-collins.com

10. Aram Tanis & Jacolijn Verhoef 
‘Departure Bay’ (2011) 9’13 min.
Artists Jacolijn Verhoef and Aram Tanis created the short documentary in Scheveningen and Zeeland as artists in residence at Badgast. This work is about the experience of Tanis’ father, who was a child when the flood disaster in Zeeland (1953) took place.

‘The rip tide’ (2011) 4’33 min.
The music video for the title track of Beirut’s current album, The Rip Tide, combines the real with the surreal as we follow a wandering boat into a world where art and nature merge. The video is inspired by Salvador Dali, Georges Seurat and JMW Turner whose glorious use of light and colour is evoked in this nautical adventure. www.beirutband.com

16. Ief Spincemaille 
‘Behind The Horizon’ (2010) 3 min.
On May 14th 2010, Ief Spincemaille committed himself to visualizing the curve of the Earth with a giant yardstick: A 10.8 km long tube was carried by 285 volunteers to the beach of Ostend, Belgium.
The tube’s middle point was resting on the ground. Five km to the left and five km to the right of this center, the tube was already rising 229 cm above the Earth’s surface. A straight tube hanging above a convex ground. A clearly visible and comprehensible image of the Earth’s bent.  www.iefspincemaille.com

17. Chris Dobrowolski 
‘Seascape escape No. 1’ (1989) 3 min.
Chris Dobrowolski went to art college in Hull, a port in the North of England that’s best years are behind it. Consequently it has a reputation for being slightly depressing. Disillusioned with art education and the art establishment Chris collected driftwood from the riverbank and made a boat to escape from art college.  
‘Seascape escape No. 2’ (1991) 3 min.
On the beach  Chris found hundreds of plastic bottles and used them to build a hovercraft. In this escape attempt Chris took the finished hovercraft back to the river Humber and traveled across the mud flats at low tide.
Chris was artist in residence at Badgast in 2011.
