Camille

Canada /2026 / 0:05:00


The internet is filled with AI animations of old master paintings, there are dozens of Monet alone. Could these kitsch asides tell another story? Perhaps narrated by the subjects of some of this work, the mute objects that fill the artist’s frame, none more often than his own wife Camille. How does colonialism look at home? The body is a book written by the state. With contributions by Emma Goldman, Federico Garcia Lorca, Audre Lorde and others.

Eight of Wands

 

Cesare Bedogne
Italy / 2024 / 1:04:59


An actress leaves for a journey together with a film-maker, TS Eliot's The Waste Land and a deck of Tarots. The omens look gloomy but she attempts to defy them through the very film they are shooting, improvising day by day, and little by little the frames start playing the role of cards in a cinematic deck of Tarots. At the end the response will be a new one, perhaps even more sibilline, her own. In October 2025 Eight of Wands won the Best Camera Award at the 26th Mediteran Film Festival, with the following motivation by the Jury: "The camera, with its calmness, precision, and sensitivity, creates a deep visual and emotional experience. This film is characterized by exceptional subtlety and a sense for the visual rhythm of nature and human presence. Calm, precisely composed frames build a poetic space in which every movement of water, drops, or light, becomes the bearer of an inner state. Black and white and color scenes intertwine in gentle balance, while reflections on water and glass create a sense of duality – a world that simultaneously exists and disappears. Everything in this film pulsates with a quiet strength – between the real and the imagined, between movement and stillness".
