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.
