A stranger's apartment, some skater kids in the park, as well as people and situations randomly observed on the street form the background in front of which Remote takes place. The observing and the cinematic and photographic recording of persons give rise to a personal, essay-like approach to an area between close and far, familiar and unfamiliar, private and public.
Remote was produced within the framework of an Impakt Works/EMARE residency with the support of the City of Utrecht. This project has been funded with support from the European Commission, Culture Programme (2007-2013).

Michael Jacksons Five, Ola Vasiljeva (The Netherlands 2006, 15:35 min)
'Michael Jacksons Five' is a sequence of evocatively distorted narratives. Ola places her main character - Michael Jackson - in a slightly askew, pseudo-religious sphere. Floating through the enigmatic and endlessly magical properties of his surrounding, Michael Jackson is centered as a divine figure, his image heavily loaded with mystical ornaments, geometry
and sacred signs.
