Focus
19 - 28 June
The Focus programs of the Festival Signes de Nuit are intending to account the social and psychical phenomena which characterise the specific emotional and intellectual aspects of a region or country. In this critical work, we have considered essential to prefer movies that refuse in the manner and means of expression, the use of standardized methods for returning the real. This, to avoid digestive practice by which a fairly widespread type of film, television content, newspapers, that with impunity represent reality as a mere product of consumption.es programmes. To the four focuses we presented on April, (1st part of the festival , Focus Moyen-Orient, Kazakhstan, Russia et Switzeland) we are going to add in this second phase Focus: l’Africa, la Finland and Ukraine.

During the summer, a Finnish couple welcomes a Russian orphan who lives 60 miles away. Geographical proximity is all that Sveta, of 11 years old, and this generous couple, have in common. Sveta does not speak and the couple is struggling to push her out of her shell, speaking to her in Finnish, a language she does not understand. They communicate rather through story-telling before turning off the light, transferred in shops and beekeeping. The summer child of the summer explores intrigued and reveals the roles associated with charity. Good intentions are sufficient to acclimate Sveta in the western world and give her a childhood? The film points to the cultural and economic gap between Finland and Russia, through the difficulties that Sveta encounter to create a contact with Tiina and Peter and to speak freely, going beyond the barriers of her status of orphan and going beyond the status of a charity accomplishment.
