One of Europe’s largest deer farms lies hidden in the hills of
southern Hungary and is home to more than 1,500 strong red deer. The
animals are essentially still wild. They were first caught in the
forest and brought to the farm only 25 years ago – and the handling of
them is still a physical conflict between man and animal. ‘Pulse’ is a
poetic, creative documentary playing on the line between raw reality
and dreamy, sensorial experience. Through the deer farm, the film
gives a close look at human-animal relations and the imperialistic way
we deal with nature. The film interweaves present day footage with
archive photographs from the beginning of deer farming in Hungary in
the 1980s. The story follows the beat of the rhythmic pulses
transcending the deer farm: from the skittish deer, to the farmers who
keep them, to the electric pulsation running through the fences
separating the farm deer from the wild. |

Poetry or threat? An act of surrender or perhaps art? These were the
theories that New York puzzled over last summer. How can one incident
be interpreted in so many ways? By means of press reports, Symbolic
Threats allows the public at large to express their extreme disparity
of interpretation. Inspired by the heated debate over the two „White
American Flags“ that suddenly appeared on the towers of New York
City’s iconic Brooklyn Bridge, the film asks what kind of societal
scope art has in the present day. What happens when threatened freedom
reinstates art with the element of danger? Who or what makes it into a
threat? Are we safe in the city? What is next?

On 31 December 2003, Lucie Tremblay decided to write to the man who
abused her between ages eight and twelve. She is determined to
personally deliver the letter. She films her journey to gain closure
for the trauma that has haunted her whole life.
When her son finds the footage well over a decade later, he decides to
turn it into a film: A Woman and her Car. An intimate homage to the
courage of an exceptional woman who decided to stand up for herself
and a savage condemnation of the bastards who abuse the innocence of
others and think they can get away with it.

Les documentaires (expérimentaux) seront évalués par un jury international ; ces films venant du monde entier parlent d’une manière inédite de tous les aspects sensibles et inquiétants du réel ; ils représentent souvent la réalité de manière ambivalente, énigmatique en évitant des clichés et les conclusions trop simples dans un monde complexe.
