Extremos Expeditiones to Karukinka

Extremos Expeditiones to Karukinka


Federico Molentino, Juan Manuel Ferraro

2015 | 0:26:00

Tierra del Fuego contents a present time full of polarities, antipodes, extremes. Its landscapes, its vegetation and a contrasted city which si constantly moving forward, compose the surface to project images of selk´nam community, in which the past and the present coexist in the same narrative time. Through a technique called mapping (images or videos projection in 3D surfaces such as buildings or objects) and film editing, the story articulates originary ceremonies and contemporary behaviours, which generates a third new vision from usual situations. Extremes invites to reflect that, in the end, we all form one human being..

The Great Wall
The Great Wall


Tadhg O'Sullivan

Ireland
2015 | 1:14:00

‘The Great Wall has been completed at its most southerly point.’ So begins Kafka’s short story ‘At the Building of the Great Wall of China’, and so, at Europe’s heavily militarised south-eastern frontier, begins this film. In the shadow of its own narratives of freedom, Europe has been quietly building its own great wall. Like its famous Chinese precursor, this wall has been piecemeal in construction, diverse in form and dubious in utility. Gradually cohering across the continent, this system of enclosure and exclusion is urged upon a populace seemingly willing to accept its necessity and to contribute to its building. From Europe’s edges, The Great Wall moves across various unidentified fortified landscapes, pausing with those whose lives are framed by borders and walls. Moving inward toward the seat of power, the film holds the European project up to a dazzling cinematic light, refracted through Kafka’s mysterious text; ultimately questioning the nature of power, within Europe and beyond.

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.
