Izkor is about the orchestration of memory. The film shows how school children of all ages in Israel are taught to pay tribute to their nation's past. It keenly observes how some memories are even physically conditioned into the future generations. "One of the most truly, most intelligent, most terrible and sharpest films about Israeli society. A film on memory and politics: this is the way that Israeli society exploits its myths to train people to have no doubts or remorse, creating the soldiers of the future wars." (Tom Segev - Haaretz)

La cinéaste géorgienne Salomé Jashi nous plonge dans le quotidien d’une petite ville de son pays via la chaîne de télévision locale, Jikha TV. Elle accompagne l’une de ses reporters dans ses missions, rendant compte avec humour de sa tâche un brin absurde. De fait, même si, comme le dit la journaliste, "il ne se passe absolument rien" dans la bourgade de Tsalendjikha, où règnent la pauvreté et le chômage, il faut pourtant meubler l’espace médiatique. Ce documentaire renvoie une image fantasmée de l’identité géorgienne, doublée d'un portrait mosaïque d’une région, de ses habitants et de son histoire récente.

SIGNER ICI est une sorte de road-movie le long du sillon naturel chargé de magie, qui traverse l’Europe. Des alpes suisses en Pologne Orientale, du Stromboli en Islande… une tentative de grande envergure pour trouver le rythme idéal du voyage. Roman Signer balise nos étapes à l’aide de ses instruments très personnels et ses interventions d’une concision séduisante et pleines d’humour subtile. SIGNER ICI est aussi un voyage à travers des états d’âme. Un exercice de funambulisme tel que le sculpteur Signer en a le tour, à l’aide de mèches et de fusées.
Signer ici - En route avec Roman Signer (1995 )
Film
The first of Peter Tscherkassky's Cinemascope trilogy of short films is a fragmented glimpse of images pulsating with chaotic rhythm as they fight white margins for room in his palette. Mirrored frames being split by white margin and trying to reassemble again like the poles of a magnet, a train approaching station and colliding with itself in white-hot blistering chaos.
The Arrival (1999 )
Film
Portraying the Vietnamese immigrant experience through Kieu, A Tale of Love follows the quest of a woman in love with Love. Voyeurism runs through the history of narrative and is here one of the threads that structure the film. Playing with the fiction of love in love stories, the film invites a different experience of cinema with non-naturalistic acting and layered interaction of performed reality, memory and imagination.
A Tale of Love (1995 )

Village Without Women (2010 )

Sur la péninsule d’Izu, au Japon, au village de pêcheurs de Wagu, Matsumi, Mayumi et Masumi plongent jour après jour à la récolte des coquillages et autres animaux marins. Sans bouteilles d’oxygène ou autres outils, elles vont aux limites de leurs capacités physiques. Les Ama-San – les « femmes de la mer », traduit littéralement – plongent de la sorte depuis plus de deux mille ans et subviennent ainsi aux besoins de leurs familles. Sous l’eau, ces femmes gracieuses se transforment en courageux chasseurs marins. Ainsi, elles remettent non seulement en question le rôle traditionnel de la femme au sein de la société japonaise, mais également notre propre vision de la féminité.

More people are imprisoned in the United States at this moment than in any other time or place in history, yet the prison itself has never felt further away or more out of sight. This is a film about the prison in which we never see an actual penitentiary. The film unfolds a cinematic journey through a series of landscapes across the USA where prisons do work and affect lives, from an anti-sex-offender pocket park in Los Angeles, to a congregation of ex-incarcerated chess players shut out of the formal labor market, to an Appalachian coal town betting its future on the promise of prison jobs.

Film
Relationships with the people you love most are often the most complicated. This is the problem Hania and her mother Ewa face during their sessions with a psychotherapist, filmed intimately and with the utmost respect by director Paweł Łoziński. The camera always focuses on one person at a time, revealing every emotion hidden behind the words and silences. The empathetic therapist carefully but purposefully peels away the hard layers under which mother and daughter shield themselves. Little by little, the personal tragedies that hamper their communication rise to the surface, as well as the source of the longing for love and acknowledgement that they find so hard to fulfill.

The National Ballet of Portugal is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Since its foundation, it has aimed to present the great classics, as well as to always welcome contemporary creations. Day-to-day life is demanding for dancers, choreographers, musicians, répétiteurs, seamstresses, light technicians, sound technicians, and other elements of a large staff that make it possible for dance to travel through the rehearsal rooms and linger in the hallways before making it onto the stage. This film follows not only the company’s creations and premieres, but mainly each dancer’s silent and structural work.

Perdus au milieu de ces allées et venues, il y a aussi quelques Anglais qui se sont installés à Calais en espérant y faire des affaires et qui finalement se retrouvent endettés. Et tous semblent désemparés, pris au piège de la modernité dans cette ville de transit.

The documentary film is not a search for the survived truth of the inhabitants of the Ruthenian village Ladomírová. It captures their subjective memories, often frozen in time and in everyday life. Only strong impressions of sadness, joy, suffering, which reflect the great history of the 20th century. There is no truth about the past, it is only the human mind that actually makes morytates - bloody enlightening stories and legends.
Murder Ballads and Other Legends from Ladomírová (1998 )
