Poster for Junkerhaus

2019 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Junkerhaus is shot in the residence of Karl Junker (1850 -1912) who dedicated his life to building his house in Lemgo, Germany. Reflections, projections and changes in light form abstract shapes which animate surfaces and structures, producing a psychological portrait that offers a new appreciation of Junker’s architecture as a mystical and visionary experience.

Poster for Slow Death

2020 · ★ 0.0 (0)

A man is confronted with the necrophilic reality of his obsession as the object of his desire is killed. A love affair with the image of a woman is an eventual commitment to the dissolution of her mortal body. Is man's obsessive union with the feminine ideal impossible? Does the violence by which it operates prohibit it from moral purity? As romantic fulfillment falls short of its remedial promise and feminine symbols are abstracted from bodies, what are you willing to sacrifice for beauty?

Poster for My other lives

2020 · ★ 0.0 (0)

In "Spaces #1", 8 beloved Greek directors shot, after commissioning by the Festival, a short film at home, making their own timely comment on the new reality that we live in. The project is inspired by the book "Species of Spaces" by the French novelist, filmmaker, documentalist, and essayist, Georges Perec and the days of quarantine. The idea is to create a film at home, using the environment, the people or the animals in that space. The only outdoor areas that may be used are outdoor living spaces, such as the terrace, the garden, the balcony and the stairwell. "My other lives" is Marianna Economou's submission.

Poster for business as usual : hostile environment

2020 · ★ 0.0 (0)

A working iteration of the project "business as usual : hostile environment". Originally co-commissioned with Glasgow Sculpture Studios as part of Event Scotland’s Year of Coasts and Waters, the project was conceived to explore Glasgow’s Forth and Clyde Canal as both a literal and poetic route through which to reflect on the role of waterways in the voluntary and involuntary movement of people. Reworking aspects of the new film at speed and in light of the Covid-19 outbreak, Whittle powerfully incorporates archival footage relating to the UK’s Windrush scandal as well as material highlighting the role of immigrants in the NHS as they tackle the virus, foregrounding how political and ecological climates intersect and shape one another.

Poster for Ariane Mnouchkine - L'aventure du Théâtre du Soleil

2009 · ★ 0.0 (0)

In this film, Catherine Vilpoux recounts Ariane Mnouchkine’s iconic artistic journey: her inspirations, her dreams for the theatre, her love of cinema, her unique and extraordinary bond with audiences. Extensive archival material – much of which has never been seen before – together with extracts from performances and rehearsals, as well as interviews and coverage of various tours and travels, reveal an in-depth portrait of the Théâtre du Soleil, and its artistic and political commitment both in France and internationally, for which it was awarded the International Ibsen Award in September 2009. Everyone who has seen one of Ariane Mnouchkine’s productions at the Théatre du Soleil in Paris leaves with the feeling of having been part of a tale of enchantment. A tale that is larger than life but at the same time reveals life.
