Poster for Teghadez Agadez

— · ★ 0.0 (0)

In Agadez, at the gates of the Sahara, migrants on their way to Europe cross paths with those who are fleeing Libya or who have been expelled from Algeria. The filmmaker follows them for several days, as well as a smuggler, André, who earned his living for more than twenty years by organising the transport of migrants between Agadez, in Niger, and Sabha, in Libya. The migrants talk about their hopes, their dreams, the difficulties of the travel. Sometimes they play, cook or dance. They are still human.

Poster for Blue Requiem

1985 · ★ 0.0 (0)

The author writes that at the moment the sun retrieved its last ray of light, the girl "sensed sensuality in the dark and watched death". The Woman at the Toy Store (OH Jeonghee) was transformed into a film, and the sexuality of the girl and woman gained the rhythm of requiem. The thrill of the moment when the positive changes to negative is, therefore, the sensuality of the cinema. Blue Requiem, the queer experimental work dedicated to the girl and the woman, arrived in the Winter Republic in 1986.

Poster for Roads Through Palestine

2013 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Billowing smoke pours from a bus, as a fire crew attempts to douse the flames. Long, aching lines of motionless vehicles sit at one of Israel’s hated checkpoints. Two men habitually pray on the road alongside their stopped car. A lone helicopter hovers overhead, reinforcing the reality of perpetual occupation. Roads Through Palestine is a cinematic portrait of life in the West Bank, and an intimate reflection on the geography of war. Directed by Brett Story with music by Stefan Christoff.

Poster for Mizu Shobai (Water Business)

2006 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Mizu Shobai (Water Business) blends two stories, one of a geisha who is lost at sea and another of the first geisha to circle the world. The dual narratives collapse into a single female figure, a traveler through time and across cultures. Carried by the act of perception, the geisha drifts beyond the prescribed bounds of "her place" in the world. The Shogun's Seclusion Edict, effective during Japan’s period of isolation (1637-1868), states that foreign influence is punishable by death, so the geisha's passive observations become an active, fatal offense. Mizu Shobai, literally Water Business, is the Japanese term for the entertainment world. The phrase refers to liquor, sex, as well as the geisha's often maudlin lifestyle which “flows like water.”
