Poster for may be May

2023 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Everything was beautiful. This film aims to approach melancholy through the ordinary material of "May roses." It moves with the flow of personal sensation, fascinated by the desire to hold onto fading images and the allure of vanished traces. It is also concerned with the nature of film, the gaps between frames, and the gaps between memory and oblivion.

It is not immediately that the cinematic space is filled with fresh shots. The orders of the new government are initially carried out by the filmmakers remaining in Soviet Russia with pre-revolutionary experience. The agitfilm of the Civil War is replaced by a "revolutionary melodrama" by the mid-20s. The expansion of film production requires new personnel: young people come from the "left" theater, who in the very near future will have to create a new revolutionary cinema.

The beginning of the domestic feature film is the story of the transformation of a naive fairground splint into a salon mystical melodrama. Having gone under the shadow of glass pavilions-greenhouses, early Russian cinema is trying to hide from the impending historical catastrophe. The revolutionary storms that have broken out drive some of the film visionaries first to the Crimea, and then to emigration. For those who remained, the struggle for survival in the new conditions begins with the development of the genre of agitfilm.

Poster for Till the End of the Dream

2023 · ★ 0.0 (0)

We’re not far from Hiroshima, where Yoshimi lives alone since the death of her partner. To capture the variations of feelings, the filmmaker focuses sensitively on the young woman’s everyday life and the nondescript, hollowed-out landscapes surrounding her. In a few light strokes, this inner turmoil is portrayed with grace and gentleness. Like so many imaginary offerings, the film reproduces the delicacy of a sip of shared tea, or measures both the weight and the pleasure of a few banal words exchanged over a cake shared across the table.

Salton Sea is a large salt lake located on the San Andreas Fault, in an arid depression of Southwestern California, 227 feet below sea level. It was accidentally created at the beginning of the last century when the Colorado River overflowed its banks. A very popular tourist attraction in the 1950s and 1960s, it was paradise for fishing aficionados, its shores dotted with hotels, marinas and yacht clubs. The area boomed, with significant economic and population growth. As the 1970s approached, people began noticing that the lake’s water was dropping and its salinity was rising.
