Political speeches and cinematographic effects. Jonathan Schwartz
films an old picture of students and teachers, while a moved voice
sings “Singing in the rain”. Vasco Araujo’s video is based
on Aristophanes’ comedy “The Birds” and reflects on power
abuses and political ideologies, through a conversation of two stone
lions about a new place to live. Francois Bucher has the former
president of Columbia, Ernesto Samper, re-read a speech he made
in 1978. Rossella Biscotti interviews Joseph D. Pistone a.k.a. Donnie
Brasco about his undercover operation inside the New York Mafia
from 1976 to 1982. Ken Jacobs puts photo images into space, reintroduces
time and re-opens images to tri-dimensionality. |

Films and videos presented during this session, directed by young
filmmakers and plastic artists, address the narrative form and explore
new ways to generate fiction. Possible variation in writing questions
the combination of reality with fiction and the underlying links
between narration and representation. Miguel Fonseca envisions a
future where artificial beings will be capable of carrying out all
tasks. Two of those artificial beings, Alpha and Beta, are couple
only a few weeks away from being shipped to their future owners
in Japan. Philippe Terrier-Hermann’s film begins in the Fontainebleau
forest, where two young men admire the Mare aux Fées. One of them
mentions some excerpts from Georges Bataille’s “La part maudite”.
They end up on a raft drifting on the Seine, in reference to Evariste
Luminais’ painting the “Enervés de Jumièges”. Alexia Walther
and Maxime Matray follow some men walking in the countryside, early
in the morning, to take part in a duel. Julius Ziz analyses contemporary
tribalism and the way a society defines itself by what it excludes.
A man is wrongly arrested but is able to escape. Followed by the
police, he still wants to see his house one last time. Knut Asdam
films characters going through a transition, a travel through different
landscapes composed of fragment of cities, whose political, economic
and social backgrounds are different. He questions a new form of
cinema. |

Works in this session offer cinematographic, documentary and plastic
ways of questioning time and loss. Images taken of reality change
status and sometimes receive a word. An individual language extends
beyond the present tense and its recording and extends towards another
temporality. Carlos Pazos films an apartment which once was a haven
and is now a place with no life. Gaetano Liberti is looking for
the threshold where we could look at things which have no place
and no time. Barbara Meter films the passage of things, vanishing
as wind, shadows and smoke Ian Soroka observes the daily routine
what will evolve in nostalgia of an ideal past. Norman Richter films
her grandmother’s house. In litany, she says things that belong
to an infinite past, covering all temporal dimensions of life.

Feeling from the East after the fall of the wall: “All those evolving countries have gone through a common history after war, and are still very affected by this history, into the very depth of earth from which paths now diverge”.
“D’Est is an almost speechless movie, the opposite of “Histoires d’Amérique” and its continuation at the same time. “D’Est” is deeply fictional, because it allows the viewer to tell himself some stories. The frame of the movie is never a documentary one. I am not saying, I am going to tell you everything about Russia. “D’Est” is not a movie about Eastern Europe. Those images, I already had them in me. It is about camps, evacuations and images before me.” (Chantal Akerman) |
