Corteza is the contemplation of a naked body, transformed by the disease and the pass of years, that suggests old age as the transition to another reality. Lilia is 71 years old and Alzheimer’s disease has transformed her mind and body. Her world is full of noises and whispers. Sometimes thoughts come out from her mouth and reveal a disturbed reality. Corteza is a short film that describes this woman’s bath routine. Submerged in a bathtub, Lilia lets her body lie there, while an imposing black woman is in charge of rinse her, rub her...accompany her and contemplate her. Arms, legs, skin, bones. This is the inventory of a body that consumes itself. A body that inhabits another world and another time.

Peace and equality are poems expressing certain dreams of nations; but the literature of peace and equality seekers hasn’t succeeded so far and the situation is taking a turn for the worse. War, genocide, discrimination and rape are becoming widespread and global. In the past century, the accumulated time during which the world has been pure of war has been less than an hour. And that is a fact we must face. Why all this criticism and ado have been so futile and fruitless? What is the problem of these self-proclaimed righteous uprisings that they all tend to dry? A157 is a filmmaker look at three pregnant girls recounting their stories of war, violence and sexist conquest in a land where people have no more dreams…

 

FRENCH PREMIERE

 


November 24 - December 4, 2016

An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
