Poster for The Third Point

2022 · ★ 0.0 (0)

I’m on the island, thinking of you, trying to find something familiar that will make you feel less far away. For centuries, a surveying method using triangulation has been used to find the location of a point too far away to measure. By determining the relative angles between near points of a triangle, one only has to be able to see the distant third point in order to plot where it is on a map. Using this method, complicated coastlines have been mapped, arcs of longitude established, and the shape of the earth itself discovered.

2013 · ★ 0.0 (0)

A young Syrian woman doesn't share her parents' beliefs, but she's still been locked up inside their belief system all her life. Because she is a young woman, her parents almost never allow her to leave the house, let alone participate in activities against the Syrian regime. But she rebels anyway. She writes and sings protest songs in secret, in the hope that they will encourage others to start thinking for themselves, and to believe in a better tomorrow with more freedom. For 37 minutes, we watch and hear about what motivates this young woman. Neither she nor the people around her ever appear identifiable on-screen. Even the voices are manipulated to keep the chance of recognition to a minimum.

Poster for Upsidedown and Backwards

1980 · ★ 0.0 (0)

In Upsidedown and Backwards, two fairy tales — The Frog Prince and The Boy Who Went Out to Learn Fear — are told simultaneously, one backwards and one forwards, each interrupting the other. Jonas' ironic use of visual symbolism further inverts the structure and content of the fragmented fairy tale narratives, creating multiple, mirror-image reversals of the texts and their meaning. The inverted and mixed-up tales, which are intercut with Jonas' ritualistic performances, merge into a composition of transformation and sexuality that evokes the tangled subconscious of male and female desire. Jonas performs wearing a veiled doll face as she manipulates childlike objects or partners a skeleton in a danse macabre. Charged with the sublimated fears and fantasies of childhood, the tape's imagery mirrors the fairy tales in its fusion of innocence and horror, dream and nightmare.

Poster for Red Runs the River

1963 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Red Runs the River is the story of two wars—one in the heart of General Richard Stoddert Ewell and the other on the battlefields of Manassas and Bull Run. The film traces the influence of General Stonewall Jackson’s vigorous faith on the profane, unbelieving Ewell. When Ewell meets God on the battlefield, he learns that surrender to God brings true victory. The story of these two men is complemented by the exploits of the flamboyant General Jeb Stuart. Red Runs the River is a saga of history, humor, and excitement, showing that strong convictions change the course of nations—and men.

A Botticelli made flesh, two artist’s models in the studio sitting for a painting, laid out in the sun. Marble statues draped in sheets, wetness and warm summer air, gold, green grass on skin, the hum of insects.

Poster for Armat

2022 · ★ 7.0 (1)

A young Swiss woman searches for her Armenian roots. Various lovingly animated drawers of the simultaneously accumulating family archive open. This very personal examination of collective traumas of post-migrant communities finds images and words for racism and the difficulties of talking about feelings with male family members. Its leitmotif is a wardrobe roaming through night-blue landscapes which – despite the cracks – holds everything and everyone together.
