Focus Ukraine - Festival 2009


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.
