Poster for Beatričė

1968 · ★ 0.0 (0)

The entire life of singer Beatričė Grincevičiūtė is filled with music. The director sensitively and carefully creates a multifaceted portrait of the performer. In the film, she is both her own most demanding critic and a playful teacher to young children, who affectionately call her "Auntie Music." Surrounded not only by a group of friends, but also by admirers of her talent, she remains modest and simple, wanting as many people as possible to experience the beauty of music and her favorite songs. Only the subtle final shot reminds us that Beatričė experiences the world not with her eyes.

But for now all I can promise is that things will become weirder reflects on the ambiguous sense of numbness that arises from the constant stream and rhythm of contemporary reality. Information, images, sounds, and events accumulate and overlap, blurring boundaries and creating a paradox of excess and uncanniness. Within this shifting flow, hierarchies of meaning and value collapse and get rearranged continuously.

The work takes plastic as its starting point—a material that originates in nature and eventually returns to it as non-biodegradable waste, carrying traces of life, time, and human intervention. Commissioned by PCAI - Polygreen Culture & Art Initiative for the exhibition Paratoxic Paradoxes, curated by Nadja Argyropoulou.

Poster for J'ai eu une idée évidente et j'attends qu'elle revienne

— · ★ 0.0 (0)

Between DIY and self-deprecation, Émilie Baillargeon humorously and sincerely documents the idleness that accompanies her new identity as a mother-artist. Each everyday object and gesture becomes play materials, driving imagination and inventiveness in this filmed diary and survival guide. Between performance and cinema, the filmmaker blurs the boundaries between documentary and fiction, putting herself on stage, driven by stubbornness and vulnerability. Filmed in a closed set, this intimate short reveals the cathartic and healing power of creation, offering a joyful and touching exploration of the fragility and resilience of body and mind.

Poster for La forêt

2014 · ★ 0.0 (0)

I often have the same dream where I am catapulted into the forest. I feel a kind of intoxication from the depths that attracts and terrifies me. I then think of this kind phrase from Rilke: “Our demons may be princesses waiting for us to be strong and courageous.”
