26 February - 5 March

A dusty, stripped down airplane engine sits atop a wheeled yellow metal frame in a storage room. Empty metal shelves line the wall to the right, and another airplane component sits on another yellow frame to the left. On the floor in front of the engine, a large peeling red and white sticker reads 'SALIDA EXIT' with an arrow pointing forwards. Half out of frame, a man in blue overalls and a red cap sweeps the floor.

When Lloyd Aereo Boliviano, one of the world’s oldest airlines, went bankrupt in 2008, many of the employees decided to continue working without a salary. Seven years later, they still check life vests, stitch covers for plane seats and manage their books despite their planes remaining grounded. 

‘Lloyd becomes a personal portrait of what this company meant and still means to its employees…Their pride swings in everything we see and hear.’  Nadin Mai, The Art of Slow Cinema


Sebastian Cordes’ (1988, Denmark) work focuses on a contemplative approach to the traditional documentary.  Although film is his primary medium, he comes from a background in philosophy. Of particular interest in his films are boredom, slowness, and examining the temporality of a place.

Against a clear, dusky sky, a large solitary farmhouse is engulfed in flames. A dark black smoke plumes upwards and leans left, blown by the wind. Dotted across the frozen hillside in the fore and middle ground are several onlookers. The nearest, a solitary man in a pale jacket, stands centre right with his back to us, taking a photo of the burning house on his smartphone.
