History Bleeds Under Your Fingernails
History Bleeds Under Your Fingernails

We used to believe that being left-handed could lead to criminality, stupidity, and immoral behaviour. So we tried to educate our children not to use that hand. History Bleeds Under Your Fingernails is a short film on the history of taming the left hand and on the culture of cultivating the bodies that do not fit.

The world is flat and horizontal. Yet, as long as we’re alive, we stand on it on our two legs. In this vertical very short film, a womanfeels this contradiction in her very body. She feels weird, she doesn’t belong, she’s alone. Is she depressed or the last of her kind? A trip to the sea will confront her to these questions. Mater andspirit will clash.

Mothers of the gods


Pablo Agüero

Samiha, nine children, first female Sheik of Patagonia. María, a widow with five children, an indigenous Mapuche, who had taken up Buddhism. Maicoño, young singer. She went around Patagonia with the aim of collecting the traditions of other old Mapuches before they took them to the grave. Estrella Resonante Amarilla and Humana Espectral Blanca. In their little houses built of adobe, straw and stone, they gave birth alone. For Samiha, María, Maicoño, Estrella and Humana, there is no real difference between their respective gods. They create them day by day, reinventing their faith each morning. These women, who have been disinherited, abandoned, want to generate a material and spiritual inheritance for their children. For this reason they have decided to join forces to build this ‘ecumenical temple’. With a good sense of humor, they themselves define it as ‘a postmodern Noah's Ark, destined to save spirits from the globalized flood'.


 

 

 



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.
