Poster for The Wolf's Lair

2015 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Every family has its secrets, the family of Portuguese filmmaker Mourão included. As the granddaughter of the well-known writer Tomaz de Figueiredo, she picks apart several of them in an intimate yet universally meaningful way. As such, her film also becomes a portrait of dictatorship and resistance and of the urge to create art.

2017 · ★ 0.0 (0)

An observational journey by the last two cradles of Cardenche singing: Sapioriz and La Flor de Jimulco. It is a reflection of these two communities and their everyday- life, to explore a dark past and a present of resistance, and an inevitable and irreversible disappearance. A singing to lost. A singing to life.

Three years ago my mother suffered a serious cerebral stroke. In two hours herself vanished in front of me facing me suddenly with a body in which she was not anymore. Médula is the journey in which I try to recover the lost image of a woman that I was never able to understand nor get to know and who, today, feels more undecipherable than ever.

This film was shot in summer 1979. The repeated ritual of Tutuguri that Tranquilino the saweame sang and danced six times in a short, strictly accurate duration. Secret words from which only emerge vowels, dance that builds a sacred space between the four cardinal points of a cross, a black and pagan sign. A native solar rite, prior to the Spanish conquest. The assembly here builds in a single plane the two poles of real time and an expanded space-time, from dual material: Tutuguri and Carreras.

Poster for Dogs

2000 · ★ 3.0 (1)

A mini-revolution. Wrong choices. The divorce of ethereal beauty and mystery so common in experimental films. In Stephanie Barber's films. What begins as devastatingly awkward or "tender" unfolds itself to show a deceptive, strangely rigid literary formalism commented upon by the content. The two (form and content) dance around, moving towards and away from each other in the tricky, clear dialogue. Hyper-reflexivity, art and love (and the role faith plays in each of these). The filmmaker writes, "I, myself, feel safest around purposefulness, can read more clearly an artist's work when I trust that choices have been weighed, bear meaning. This film requires a great deal of faith because it is strange and labile. Its device-ness is so apparent as to have left it naked. And then so naked as to be, perhaps, closed again."

Poster for They Invented Machines

1997 · ★ 0.0 (0)

THEY INVENTED MACHINES is about colonialism, entertainment and love. The images are taken mostly on Disney World rides where one is shown facsimiles of people from far away lands. The soundtrack, a little more than half-way through, ceases its cricketing and, against impressionistic waterfalls, mentions love ("they have love here") which must then be thought of in the context of this same wonder, possession and amusement. The film ends with a series of flights.
