Collective <a href="https://homecinema.video" title="https://homecinema.video" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Home Cinema</a> curates a screening program responding to the current exhibition 'Slow Drift(s): Alonso Cedillo' on view at <a href="https://thebalconythehague.com" title="https://thebalconythehague.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Balcony</a>.SCREENING Curated by The Hague-based collective Home CinemaWITH FILMS BY Minne Kersten, Chema García Ibarra, and Nguyễn Lê Hoàng Phúc The Balcony has invited the collective Home Cinema to develop a screening program responding to the exhibition: 'Slow Drift(s) Chapter 3: Alonso Cedillo'. Being human stands for some very simple things, even and especially at a time when the world is no longer what it used to be. Taking as a point of departure Alonso Cedillo’s research on conspiracy theory in a collapsing world, Home Cinema has selected three works that resonate with the human dimension of belief embedded in his practice. Rather than approaching conspiracy as a system of ideas or truths to be verified, these works attend to belief as a lived, emotional, and social experience: something shaped by fear, care, loneliness, hope, and the need to make sense of uncertainty.The screening program unfolds as a conversation about survival, narrative, and the human struggle for meaning in an unstable world. It explores the psychology of belief and how we fill the gaps in logic with narrative, the tension between fact, fiction, fear, and distrust, how survival strategies are played out through narrative, belief as a coping mechanism, meaning-making, and community bonding. PROGRAM:19.30—Doors open20.00—Screening works by Minne Kersten, Chema García Ibarra, and Nguyễn Lê Hoàng Phúc21.00—Chat/Q&amp;A/Drinks Minne Kersten is based in Paris and Amsterdam. She works with video, installation and painting, combining multiple techniques to construct a world where objects and scenes hold traces of facts and fiction. Her work considers the relationship between the real and the imagined, the ordinary and the ephemeral, and speculates on how we can recall events, memories and stories by tracing what is lost in what remains. In the act of construction, her work connects intimate themes such as mourning, loss and desire, and our collective domain of fiction, fables and symbol making. Chema García Ibarra has written and directed “El ataque de los robots de Nebulosa-5” (2009), “Protopartículas” (2010), “Misterio” (2013), “Uranes” (2014), “La disco resplandece” (2016), "Leyenda dorada" (2019, co-directed with Ion de Sosa), and “Espíritu Sagrado” (2021)—all of them domestic science fiction films made without professional actors. His works have been selected for festivals such as the Cannes Directors' Fortnight, Locarno, Sundance, Berlinale, San Sebastián, and Mar del Plata. Among his more than two hundred awards are two honorable mentions at Sundance, a jury mention at San Sebastián, and the Vanguard and Genre competition prize at BAFICI.Since 2015, he has taught the subject “Anti-filmmaking” in the documentary film degree program at the ECAM. Nguyễn Lê Hoàng Phúc is a Saigon-based filmmaker and editor whose work blends humor, sincerity and genres to create playful yet introspective films. His recent films Bury Us in a Lone Desert (Tiger Short Competition, IFFR 2025) and The Premiere (2027) continue his bold, approachable exploration of cinematic form. Home Cinema designs online streams and physical screenings, challenging storytelling formats. Through invitations and open calls, Home Cinema’s programs formally respond to the question: What can we see together when we cannot see each other?In past editions, Home Cinema has collaborated with wysiwyg, Filmhuis Den Haag, Reneenee, Laak, Waag Society, Rialto UV, Heartqore, Sandberg Instituut, Mike Kokken, Julian Ross, WORKNOT!, Karina Zavidova.Home Cinema was founded in 2020 by Carmen Dusmet Carrasco and Andrea González Garrán, designed and developed with Lukas Engelhardt. The exhibition "Slow Drift(s) Chapter 3: Alonso Cedillo" is open on Fridays and Saturdays from 13.00 to 18.00 until February 28th.
