Individuals wait, silence is heard, a microscopic attention through a tired mass. If the film is almost mute, it is because it focuses on silent figures, although their struggle is deafening.

Fake left.
Run right.
Pass.
There are no messages here. 
So we may breathe. 
Run. 
Dribble. 
Jump. 
We are carefully playing the game 
The body has always wanted a life of its own 
Most days, you’ll find me here.

Mieriën Coppens, Elie Maissin, 2019, 16’

Standing Guard is an adaptation of This House, an earlier film by Coppens and Maissin. Without an introduction, we witness a significant gathering in the corridors of the occupied building of ‘La Voix des Sans-Papiers’ in brussels.
