The genuine disease diary leads into the soulscape of a person suffering from OCD: „Bad images should disappear suddenly!“ Since negative images mustn’t been thought. Nevertheless, they are here and constantly circling in the brain. The compulsive actions should dispel them... A vicious circle.

Louis Henderson analyses the lingering racial violence in the United States by drawing on the recent murders of Mike Brown and Kajieme Powell by the police. To try and chart its genealogy and describe its development, the director uses the notion of “code” and its polysemic dimension. Denoting both a legal decree and an algorithmic rule, the code is seen as underpinning necropolitical power. Henderson’s discourse hinges on the articulation, embedding and superposition of disparate images and sounds taken from the Internet in order to propose a critical perspective of Afro-American history. The only moment of hope is the repetition of the beginning of Humberto Solás’ Simparele (1974), where singer Martha Jean-Claude calls on the pride and independence of the Haitian people… (Jessica Macor)

I walked around rice fields for over four years and took tens of thousands of pictures to create the film which is inspired by the philosophy "Fourth dimensional farmers art" of Kenji Miyazawa.

They hammered. They cursed. Yelling. It was dark, no light. An unpleasant, eye-stinging smell. She stayed quiet. The stones hurt. It’s wet. How many? The camera drags the viewer through dark, abstract rooms. A young girl whispers. The content of a biblical story becomes a contemporary state.

In a near future, the villages of a Sub-­Saharan area have all been deserted. Mad and disable people as well as child soldiers are the only ones who remain on those dry lands. In this survival atmosphere, relationships are harsh.

 

 



November 24 - December 4, 2016

The section "Cinéma in Transgression" offers middle or feature lengh films out of norm and order, between fiction and documentary, characterised by complex audio-visual languages, unpredictable associations based on unconcient, metaphorical and metonymical proceedings. In this way these films can express the complexity of reality.
