Poster for Us and Them

2006 · ★ 0.0 (0)

The existence of two parallel communities – one Latvian, the other Russian, is the reality of present day Latvia. After the establishment of an independent Latvian Republic in 1991, the Russian speaking community began to see themselves as a threatened minority and started to depict themselves as oppressed. Where does the truth lie? Are there victims? Or is it simply that the idea of integration, for both sides, does not work properly?

The water flows on the surface of the Earth and in the underworld, this substance connects both sides of the river as margins of life. The narration is holding out the silhouette from the sketch of an artist to the symbolism of the ancient world reading small gestures.

Poster for Ali in Wonderland

1975 · ★ 7.1 (4)

Ali in Wonderland unveils the condition of immigrant workers in Paris in the 1970s. It is a cry of anger against exploitation and racism, uncompromisingly raising the role of the French state, the media, capitalism, and colonization in this system of domination that crushes those who suffer it. In this experimental essay on the condition of Algerian migrants in Giscard's France in the mid-1970s, every aesthetic choice has a precise and legible political motivation and gives body and voice to a figure completely absent from the experimental cinema of the time: that of the immigrant worker. Abouda is one of the children of immigrants seen in the film, and not a simple activist serving a cause, which is why the emotion of her experimental gesture, which she throws in the viewer's face, springs from a ferocity inscribed in her body, from an insatiable anger that inhabits her gaze.

Poster for Tu deviendras hétéro, mon fils

2020 · ★ 7.0 (2)

Assuming your homosexuality when you are American, as surprising as it may seem, is not necessarily straightforward. In the United States, 700,000 homosexuals have already undergone so-called conversion therapy. These therapies, which go by name only, promise to "fix" a deviant sexual orientation. Led by religious or pseudo-scientific communities, they do not hesitate to use humiliation and physical violence to achieve their ends and to change a person's inner identity. Conceived as a road movie, stretching from Alabama to California, this documentary immerses us in the world of conversion therapy, with powerful testimonies from victims and activists.
