In "Two Way Jesus", reality conquers fiction, and versa. The people of Cutud, Pampanga - celebrates the annual "Maleldo", the Crucifixation of Jesus Christ. This seemingly voyeurism approach tackles its participants and observer, religion and culture, and the power of new media in between.

A Careful Resurrection
A Careful Resurrection


Jeannette Louie

2016 | 0:08:30

Sometimes the everyday is overshadowed by a feeling of disquiet. Tucked into the synaptic forests of our minds are memories that have never been properly encoded. They lurk in the cognitive purgatory of consciousness and oftentimes, appear alongside ordinary recollections. A Careful Resurrection begins with a typical narration but slowly evolves into a disconcerting monologue.

The films opens with an elderly woman is in a taxi coming home from a party carrying a bouquet of flowers and a cake box. She begins to listen to a poem by William Blake. She arrives at her house, unaware that she is being watched by someone. The looker is a young man working on his inspiration. Gradually their two worlds begin to merge as the poem works as a bridge. He is working through his obsessions in his art as the woman is reflecting on life. She moves within the realms of the classical world and he as a young maker is working on reworking the classics. The elderly woman is displayed on his wall when she was young wearing the same dress and coat that she is wearing now. As the film unfolds the question about who is the inspiration and who is the muse becomes unclear

"The mind is like an iceberg, it floats with one-seventh of its bulk above water.” (Sigmund Freud). An exhilarating journey into the collective unconscious where all the images, sounds and music are entirely from found footage.





FRENCH PREMIERE

 



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.
