Eduardo Williams
Eduardo “Teddy” Williams (b. 1987) is an Argentine filmmaker and artist whose works explore a fluid mode of observation, looking for shared relations and spontaneous adventures within physical and virtual networks. He studied at the Universidad del Cine in Buenos Aires, before joining Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains in France. His works have screened widely at festivals including Cannes, FID Marseille, and Toronto International Film Festival. His first feature, El auge del humano (2016) won the Pardo d’oro at Filmmakers of the Present at the 69th Locarno Film Festival. Retrospectives have taken place at the Cinémathèque française, Paris, and Valdivia International Film Festival in Chile, amongst others.
Once in the XX Century is a gallery-based exploration of the oeuvre of Lithuanian filmmaker Deimantas Narkevičius. The works included in the exhibition are:
Seamus Harahan presents Fucking Finland, an anthology of film freshly completed for his Festival commission.
With a hand-held video camera and armed with a painter’s eye and a musician’s ear, Harahan’s journey begins in Suomenlinna, an inhabited Finnish sea fortress with obvious parallels to Berwick, and traces a line across to Tallinn, Estonia and then on to Rostock, Germany.

The ferry connecting Hanko and Rostock becomes a melancholic pop metaphor for the old Iron Curtain era, creating audacious – maybe even insolent – links between places that were enveloped in two different and opposing ideological blocks not that long ago.
The Fucking Finland Series is supported by the Elephant Trust.
