Sang des Volcans des Kalach et des Comores (French Edition)


What is the Saami identity today? Are the Saamis by definition reindeer people? And are they ready to define themselves differently? Khoury explores the issue through the stories of four women: Through these stories, Khoury exposes the magnitude of the honor killing in Palestine. From the thousands of letters we discovered, it is clear that Salazar had strong popular support. He was loved and respected almost like a religious leader.

Bought from a second-hand book dealer, these letters are now in our hands. They portray a country seen through the eyes of the greatest devotees of the regime. They express a blind adherence to fascist values and show the way fascism affected the intimate lives of women of all social classes.

Some precious archive show these women screaming under the dictator window like adolescents in a rock concert. But Salazar was an austere man, celibate and apparently sexless. What did this love signify then? This confrontation gave rise to an innovative and unique cinematography, exported today around the world.

This film tells the story of the unexpected success of Iranian cinema, from the era of the Shah , through the revolution and the Iran Iraq war up to contemporary life. The crossed destiny of cinema with power is told through archive footage, extracts of pre and post revolution films and through interviews with the main protagonists of Iranian film industry. His whole body is an accusation, starting from his face: His name is still associated today to the image of an appalling serial killer.

Yet in fact how would one define the bad guy s face? Has this typical criminal s portrait evolved through the years? Which logics provided the parameters for a bad guy s face? To our great surprise these questions propel us into a journey backwards to some of the most respectable places of 19th century, as the temples of science, on the tracks of the researchers animated by one common obsession: Out of a total population of 2. Why are so many younger generation Russians out on the streets today? Why did so many Russian speaking people, and those who had recently gained citizenship, vote against the European Union and why do they still support the left wing and pro-moscow politicians?

Is it a question of grand politics, of big issues; is it the external workings of very complicated political cogs in a number of different political systems? Or is it simply that the idea of integration, for both the sides, does not work properly? In his art the year old New York NO! Artist, Boris Lurie, brings together what doesn t belong together: It s not perverted art, but a comment on a perverted society, says Lurie, and he draws a line from the Shoah to the war in Iraq. And he would have so liked to have painted comfortable, comforting things, like the Impressionists did.

But something kept him from doing that. And that something is what this film searches. Art developed as an obstinate reaction to Pop Art.

Boris Lurie s NO! A film about the timeless timely questions of remembering and about coping with the extermination of the Jews through art. Through her father s eyes and her seven aunts and uncles confessions, she tries to understand why they kept their memories silent for so long. From the French Bask country to South America, she follows their steps and explores their individual struggles, whether these were through union or legal political actions, or through clandestine activities within an urban guerrilla organisation called the Tupamaros, many of their actions in these events they have kept silent about, even to their immediate families.

France 3 Aquitaine Euskaltelebista Partner: As another season of hostilities and bitter rivalry kicks off between AS Roma and SS Lazio, the two teams of the Italian capital, stay with us for the four months between the first and second Leg capitoline derby and discover the real Rome. Made up of a special kind of Roman: Il Testaccino or The Testaccio people. Food, football, passion, culture and a hefty dose of sarcastic comedy will be the recurring theme for this story, as we learn all about this special place and these special people.

This is Core de Roma, the heart of Rome. While he was in a coma, she asked the doctors at the hospital in Littleton, Colorado, to harvest Josh s sperm for future conception.

This film concentrates entirely on Belarus, whose population in the twenty years since the disaster have been condemned by the effects of the ingestion of small doses of radioactivity. The ambition of this film is to give witness to the process of slow death, to reveal the imminence of the genetic catastrophe, and to untie the threads of the international conspiracy of silence, all of which threaten this country. It also aims to alert the world to the danger that this organized disinformation represents for the immediate future. Its actors are human beings full of humanity - the neglected victims of the contamination, doctors and scientists, and scientific activists - not willing to abandon themselves to a worst-possiblescenario.

Their subject matter, the atom, is invisible and indescribable; their wager is to show its materiality, and to say something of its meaning. What they have to say often flies in the face of established truths, in the same way as does this film. Their adversaries are the nuclear lobby and the comfort of ignorance. Their weapon is reality: The mummification of the Bolshevik Leader was the very first act of theatrical deception by an ideology that was giving itself a living God. The adventures of Lenin s mummy are in a direct sense a reflection of the history of the Soviet Union.

Mixing both visible history and the dark secrets that were brought to the surface by the disintegration of the USSR, Forever Lenin, is a sort of autopsy of Vladimir Ilitch s mummy. At the same time, among gangsters and New Russian, the temptation of immortally continues to stimulate emulation within Russia today.

Some of them now form the beginning of another attempt by Sylla to portray insanity. In the past years, the director herself has also suffered the pain of a deeply troubled mind - she has crossed over "to the other side. Despite the simplistic use of camera, the film is complex and layered, and Sylla relates to Ngom in different ways: The intimacy of the shared experiences is disturbed by the intrinsically unequal relationship between director and psychiatric patient.

Nowadays, her life is reconstructed by another fictional character, Jonas, young man living in Berlin-Est whom she came to know late in life and whose own family history echoes the life of our heroine. Jonas's subjective reconstruction of Clara B. The film originated from a basic question that compelled the director to take a look inside these communities: This question raises issues that perhaps cannot be described or explained in words, but that enable us to catch the essential aspirations behind this choice: The film is exploring the experience of forced exile and the loss of roots threw day to day life of these migrants.

Starting with the content of a neonazi video tape seized in Switzerland, this film tries to go up the extremist connections so as to trace these people in European countries and North America who are at the source of this propaganda encouraging segregation, hate an racial war. As she meets them - former activists having given up any political activity and newer ones having grown up in the midst of various associations - Fulvia is reminded of her own story and that of her old country. She also gets to know better today s Italy, a very controversial and ill-treated country, especially by those who run it.

Berlusconi wins the elections and an opposition reorganises itself, first led by the anti-globalisation movement in Genoa. Other events and other disappointments were to come up until the latest European elections. History with a capital H, and history with a small one: This is the reason why Fulvia agreed to run as a candidate in the local elections in her hometown together with the people that she filmed over four years.

TV10 Angers France Festival: The only place that proves to be possible for this meeting is Saudi Arabia. Despite all the dangers, the family members living in exile pretend to be Muslim pilgrims in order to be allowed to enter the holy cities of Medina and Mekka. There, in a small hotel, room the long awaited, tearful reunion takes place after 20 years of separation. It proves to be a huge culture clash between the Muslim world and the western societies of Europe and America. Soldiers from Germany, France and England came out of their trenches and fraternized with the enemy.

They sang together, exchanged food, and showed each other photographs of their families. In some places, it lasted nearly a fortnight and entailed the passive complicity of officers.

According to the military code of the day fraternizing was a war crime, a failure of duty and a cowardly act, guilty soldiers should have been shot. Today then, fraternization is to be commemorated. It is interesting to question the topic and put it in its historical context. In recounting these events which in retrospect appear somehow unreal, the film tries to understand the mind set of those times. While fraternization remained marginal, what it reveals about the soldiers involved is far more telling than the official version, history has accustomed us to.

Besides recounting these events and the ensuing commotion brought upon military staff, we will look at the reasons as to why fraternization happened, and also why it was not more frequent. Through archives, and photographs but also soldiers letters from Germany and France, we will try to get closer to the mentalities and views of those times This film essay reconstitutes his rich, mysterious life even as it attempts to distinguish the man from the myth. The reasons behind this retaliation remain unknown.

In documents were uncovered containing the Anglo-American investigations on Nazi war crimes, labeled "Temporarily Archived", a prefectly executed shelving. The impossibility of finding and punishing a guilty party shifts the emphasis of the question who? Is someone guilty for having provoked this wild reaction in the German soldiers? Several versions of the event, gathered by the surviving members, become the tracks to follow in order to confront this contoversial and uncomfortable memory. The project was developed at Eurodoc-Script by Andrea Prandstraller. Brooklyn Films assisted Mr.

Prandstraller in developing the project. Through letters and interviews this emotionally charged film recalls the dilemmas made by many when faced by political events; the dilemmas that attempt to resolve the moral imperative of revolutionary change without sacrificing the emotional needs of family. The author embarks on a personal journey in an attempt to find out how history came to repeat itself in so many ways. It explores why some people choose to look beyond their own self-interest to work for a better future for all.

It asks how they came to the choices that they did. Choices between family and political beliefs? Choices that echo through the years with the repeating themes, passion and politics; exile, and return; love and country and belonging. Journeying from Russia to South Africa, via England, this intimate exploration draws on the migrations and conflict of the 20th Century, to reconcile the personal wounds left by all-consuming need to a fight for a dream. It was a kind of land of adventure where everything seemed possible, where everyone could better their situation.

The Touareg rebellion and the collapse of the price of uranium changed everything.? That was 17 years ago. He has decided to follow the old man on his last trip back to Arlit to see his son and old friends, allowing the director to introduce us to this desert frontier town.? Arlit has become a ghost town since the Touareg rebellion and the French company s withdrawal, and has now been transformed into a stop-off point for illegal immigrants heading for Algeria.

This film also focuses on the surprising ethnic mix found there as a result of the continous migrations, and which has made it such a unique and fantastic place. New laws were implemented and new methods of investigation were put to the test for the first time. The film poses the question of whether the defendants ever stood a chance of receiving a fair trial.

In Operation Spring we pose the question of how much value is attached to basic democratic rights when new laws and investigative methods are to be implemented at all costs, regardless of the consequences for the rule of law. It was Whitsun, and he was on the first pilgrimage of his life. A band was playing at a small hotel. He wanted to dance to the music, but the owner refused to let him in.

The boy vowed that one day he would return to buy the hotel. After 27 years in Belgium, the Senegalese artist and businessman Jeannot Da Sylva returns to Africa to realise his dream. He builds a hotel at the heart of Popenguine. His dream-project kick-starts a new kind of development in this tiny community. Tourists will soon arrive in the village. The question is, if Jeannot understands the importance of the village for the success of his project? Has he been away for so long that he has forgotten the African ways? And how do the villagers react to the prospect of becoming tourist attractions?

Visions du reel, Nyon Cinema: Austrian wide cinema release in autumn European cinema release is planned for the end of Rome.

Today, their grandchildren are heading in the opposite direction: In 12 tangos, recorded live in the hottest tango hall in town and performed by some of Argentina s finest musicians, the film narrates the story of crisis and immigration and connects the sentiments of its protagonists are with the music, the lyrics and the dance steps of the tango.

Marius grabs his accordion and plays some gypsy blues to charm the moneylenders who demand their due, to seduce a beautiful chick or maybe even attract Johnny Depp who, it seems, promised to be godfather to his youngest child. Won, stolen, borrowed or exchanged, money is the only way to thwart the fate that dogs this small gypsy community.

Clejani is a chasm at the end of a road. Some are willing to do anything to get away. This region in the former GDR, was powered by a vital industry with thousands of miners ploughing the grounds for brown coal up until twelve years ago. Today the workers have lost their jobs and the ripped-open mining landscape has literally petrified into a vast, empty desert.

A desert that has a beauty of its own; a unique moonlike landscape that triggers contrasting feelings; it is a surreal surrounding awesome and extreme. And it is doomed. LAUBAG, a semi-federal organization is determined to domesticate this wild area through a massive "back-to-nature"-program, intending to turn the impressive remnants of human history into picturesque, innocent lakes. What they strive for has the potential to integrate not only the people, but also their identity and the pride they take in it.

What they see is the unique and fantastic chances, which this manmade landscape holds for them.

Hunted down by French paratroopers, they were arrested in and tortured. They ended the war in prisons and in camps. The solidarity borne of their imprisonment was a lesson in humanity and has led to lasting friendships. Forty years later, Louisette Ighilahriz reaches the end of a long quest to pay tribute to the man who saved her from torture. This quest for the facts to be acknowledged is also a way for these women to pay tribute to a few French military officers who had an exemplary and noble attitude. Our film is also a quest to understand the identity of a generation of women and men who have never spoken out about this war.

One such place is a dumpsite. The astounding profusion of insects, reptiles, birds and mammals, all intertwined in an existential life-death relationship imparts to it with some strangely alluring dream-like quality. Studio Hamburg Fernseh Allianz. Festival International du film d'histoire de Pessac Eurodoc-Screening This can be seen in his paintings, which reflect every major discovery of the 20th Century.

This film is a tribute to the life and work of this genius and visionary inventor that history seems to have forgotten. Their lingua franca is the Russian, and their social life is a mixture of Soviet and Russian Orthodox traditions. Running away from violence, but also from the economical crisis it has entailed, six million Colombians have been forced to move abroad. This is a true silent exodus that affects the country. Those characters tell us what they have gone through in Colombia, tell us in what way violence has forced them o decide to flee their country. In the place they are living, their place of refuge as exiles, these people unpack for the second time their bags in front of the camera An old pull-over, a blanket, a pair of sleepers These objects have become "fetishes", sanctuaries of the past, full of suggestive power.

Little by little, the whole of those tales, of those suitcases, outlines the contours of the drama experienced by millions of Colombians. A new and startling story of international intrigue, involving the reunification of Germany and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Checkmate analyses the events surrounding the Romanian Revolution, revealing for the first time how the superpowers were involved and above all, why.

When Ceausescu refused to accept the reforms sweeping Eastern Europe in , the ruthless Romanian dictator unwittingly rushed headlong into his own destruction. Little did he know of the agreements reached concerning Europe s destiny: But then there was the problem of Germany. Mitterand and Thatcher made a simple stipulation. First Western and Eastern Europe mist be united, before the reunification of Germany could take place.

As the last of the hard-liners in the Warsaw Pact, only Ceausescu stood in the way If Europe s division should end and Germany was to be reunited, Romania s dictator had to be overthrown. Upon the backdrop of the one of the most exiting and moving episodes of history the Romanian Revolution and Ceausescu s overthrow this documentary revels and exemplifies the working of power politics. Suddenly, everything seems possible! Twenty years later we embark on a global journey to explore the progressive and continual genetic manipulation of plants, animals and human beings: Due to a disastrous crop with genetically modified cotton many Indian farmers face ruin, have to sell one of their kidneys or resort to committing suicide.

In Canada genetically modified canola seeds blow onto the fields of neighbouring organic farms, thus making ecological farming impossible. The Icelandic parliament sells the entire pool of genes of its population to a private company that, in turn, intends to turn over the data at a profit to the pharmaceutical industry and insurance companies. A research project is designated as "vampire project in which blood, hair and saliva samples are taken from so-called ethnic groups on the verge of extinction on the pretext of preventive health. The gene samples wander into the laboratories of industry to provide the basis for valuable patents.

Worldwide only a handful of idealistic scientists are defying industry, doing independent without the financial support of industry research on the effects of transgenic animals and plants on the environment and our health when we consume genetically modified food. Their reputation is notorious, entwined with flamboyant and colourful stories and myths. Regarded by many as influential and dangerous, for others they are nothing more than a burdensome parasite whose days are numbered.

Even so, the claqueurs guild is threatened with extinction due to the lack of up and coming young professionals. An insight into the working days of the claqueurs in the Italian opera. Meanwhile also the list of festival- invitations is getting longer: In the last century, at the end of the 60s, the great ocean liners stopped connecting Europe and the United States. The barmen in the first class cocktail lounges had learned their trade with the none too easy-to-please American clientele, mixing martinis for Rock Hudson and Humphrey Bogart, stealing secrets from the professionals they spied on over the counters of Manhattan bars, when the crews went ashore for a day before going back on board to return to Italy.

We will meet quite a few barmen who have spent a good amount of their life on ocean liners. They are in their sixties and seventies. He records the sounds encountered along the way in order to make a radio broadcast on his return. His son Jean-Marc, who is ten and visually unimpaired, acts as his guide. He is eager to discover the places that gave his blind father his first impressions of the world. Father and son spend several days in Casablanca with Rachid, an old school-mate of Jean-Michel's, at an institute for the young blind.

Rachid shows us how a blind man introduces another blind man to his culture and a big Moroccan city. They will be our escorts between the world of the sighted and the world of the blind on a journey through different fields of perception. How a blind man teach us to see? Among many other artistic disciplines, he did various and known contributions to the Cinema with capital letter, but he also invented a new form of cinema.

He discovered that he could realise his dream by showing himself in front of the camera. Its investigation work has brought back into light and put back in order more than forty hours of images of archives from around the world. The end result is a film approved by the Gala and Salvador Dali Foundation, the heir of the painter. Moved by the terrible fate of these men and women, two brothers, Martin and Angel Zamora, have put their undertaking business at the service of the victims and their families.

In addition to the transportation, the Zamoras take charge of identifying the bodies, notifying the next of kin; accompanying them through the legal formalities of repatriation, finally assisting with the funerals at the other end, sometimes in the most remote villages of Marocco. One man against all. When his son was killed by the Colombian military police and the verdict was cocaine overdose, the Italian doctor Sisto Turra understood that it was not the truth, and he began to fight back. Though only one of the similar cases per year in Colombia. This one reached a trial. And the justice is now coming.

This project creates great expectations amongst the local population, who envisages it as a way of improving their life quality. The film shows the relationship and conflict between these two worlds, two cultures, with different life concepts and ideas of what modernity and progress are It is a saga of hope in the face of despair, of love flowering out of tragedy. A film told through a poignant love story that will merge the past with the present, bringing survivors from a long-forgotten World War II rescue together again for the first time since , and showing the consequences of war on people like you and me.

It is a relationship that is ambiguous, but full of tenderness and complicity, that presents itself as a fabulous story. Chantz, the 'chance', was given the name because he should never have been born. Glinda, a black American 'fat woman', comes from Mississippi, the land where the legend of gospel music emerged from the terrible poverty.

He has been playing the trumpet since the age of five. He has exceptional talent that fascinates the public and arouses the interest of well known artists. Chantz and his mother live their life on the road, in shabby hotels and fantastic palaces, depending on the invites they receive. Without being absolutely poor, they have no fixed address.

Chantz plays in the street, but also in the most prestigious places. He does not go to school because everyday he is attending the 'school of life'. With his humour and charm, he has a gift when it comes to extraordinary meetings. Chantz is not only the child prodigy of a pygmalion mother.

He is also the only hope for a woman who has pulled herself out of misery, determined to do something with her life. Over a two year period, under the critical and curious eye of a director, they continue on their path which is sometimes dangerous and uncertain. The story will be given rhythm, with accelerations and pauses, joy and pain, like a blues song or an improvised piece of jazz. The search for an actress, Laurie Zimmer, who played in a film that Charlotte Szlovak directed in in Los Angeles.

Laurie was gifted and beautiful but after this shooting, she disappeared. The people who knew her at that time have not heard from her since. Do you remember Laurie Zimmer? What happened in her life? And what may become a young actress in Hollywood when she does not succeed?

CHEIKH MC feat. SAMRA - Djibuwe (Clip Officiel)

The story of a life as well as a road-movie in a real or imaginary land: Luciano Rigolini Rai Sat: De mortuis aut nihil aut bene". The Balkans are always held in bad repute. I wonder whether their ill fame is all to the good because nevertheless it means that we are alive. With this film I would like to show the Balkans from a different standpoint - the standpoint of a person who being unable to change his birthplace and doesn't want to emigrate to West, is trying to get to know the Balkans and understand them.

The song, which the people in different Balkan countries claim to be theirs, will be used to create an absurd situation. A situation in which nobody will ever miss an opportunity to play down the other man, to make fun of him, to bring forward his shortcomings. About that common trait of ours, which make us certain that all that is good is ours and all that is bad is our neighbour's. Each and everyone in the Balkans claims what is good is only his and discounts the possibility that it can belong to the neighbour.

That s the way it is even when it comes to a song. From the chaste and young wife of Giocondo, a Florentine civil servant, she became a madonna secluded within the walls of Palaces, under the vigilance of kings and aristocrats. Vincenzo Peruggia, a keeper at the Louvre, kidnapped her in , and nothing of her whereabouts was known until two years later. She even suffered an attack in , when an insane Bolivian man hurled her a stone. In she made her first transatlantic journey: Ten years later , she flew to Tokyo and Moscow.

And now, the kind Japanese are arranging a square-meter flat only fo her. She has hundreds of sites on the Web, and her face on an infinity of objects. It is the monalisamania, an icon of the culture of the masses. In Provence, his second homeland and place of rest and family happiness, he let himself be guided and inspired by the light, the landscape and the colourful ambience of the South of France.

Today, aged 90, in Paris as well as in Provence, we start with him a reflection on what has determined his whole existence: Eric Ollivier Rai Sat: They only agree on that the Israelis did not get hold of them The search for the lost archives leads her to Gaza, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon, meeting the different protagonists, and it allows her to have a look at their way of remembering the past, their good old days.

How they are dealing with the march of time, up to the presence, the feeling of defeat and loss. Thus the quest for the archives becomes an attempt to review an image of Palestinian identity, from Azza s personal point of view. And this perspective includes both the insider s proximity and the distance of a young woman to this older generation; intelligent, sometimes ironic, without being destructive.

Today, he is the victim of the "double condemnation", a law by whitch the children of immigrants who have served prison terms are sent back to their contry of origin upon their release. This musical film, whitch blends hip-hop dancing and rap music, examines the discriminatory pratices of the French government in applying this law.

It also deals with the collective and individual adventure of hip-hop movement, which first emerged in France in the northem suburbs of Paris in the 80s. We shall accompany a young woman in her early twenties, a Master s degree holder, who has agreed that her parents find a suitable match for her. Parallel to her story will be presented the experiences of my collegue friends who took the same decision in the past, and have lived a married life for around fifteen years. These friends who rebelled against arranged marriages during our University years, will talk about the evolution of their marriage and their concept of love, from the moment they were confronted with the problem of finding a partner, till the present day.

A comparaison between love and arranged marriages will be brought in without bias towards any of them. A little township, insignificant in appearance only in appearance. The truth is elsewhere, in a hundred year old tradition which has transformed the destiny of this town. Parintins is divided into two. Parintins has two faces, one red and the other blue. These are the colours of two groups of antagonists: The director went to Parintins to breathe in this strange obsession which unites and divides a whole town.

But mostly, between the silence of the river and the rhythm of the drums, there, he found a true lesson in happiness. However, all the work that had been done with the director for this project, especially with ARTE, has lead to a new film: Afghanistan, an Impossible State? But a man who refuses to give in. A man who denounces, rises up and accuses. For nearly twenty years, between and , Victor Hugo personified all of Europe's democratic ideas by nearly singly standing up to Napoleon the third s despotism.

For twenty years, he paid for this struggle for freedom by an exile at first forced then voluntary. For twenty years, because of his ideas and writings, he was the object of unending police persecution and espionage. It seemed to us timely, upon the occasion of the commemorations to accompany the bicentennial of Victor Hugo's birth in , to relate these twenty years of headstrong struggle of a man alone against the arbitrary of absolute power.

Twenty years of rupture in the life and work of one of the monumental figures of French literature and the 19th century. From one roof to another, we discover this universe by meeting a gallery of characters who have the privilege to be intimate with this place. On the Rooftops of Paris, we take an urban and human tour, a poetic stroll revealing entire unknown sections of the city architecture, recounting the story of its life and inviting to reverie and to the meeting of those who live between the zinc and the azure.

Christine Reisen, Alain Wieder France 5: Each in his own way. Always at the break of day. They carry out a sentence pronounced by rule of law. They now reveal themselves. Tell us about their lives. Tell us about their "trade". After five years of research and shooting, this unique film is now completed.

They are living eye-witnesses of the end of an era: The film provides the viewer with a close-up biographical look at the lives of the enforcers of this penalty and of their personal fates. The careers and personalities of the individual hangmen mesh into an inconsistent whole. The ambition of this documentary series was to report the main strokes that were blown against individual and human groups rights all around the world and during this century.

But also to report the efforts, actions, reflections carried out by men of good will to make barbarity no longer an inevitability. Due to the Allies bombing and the Resistants attacks, the railway was in such bad shape that the journey across France took 54 days. Sometimes the deportees even had to walk and were seen in every place. The film, based on the eye witnesses evidence and on the deportees own letters, asks us: What would we have done in a similar situation today?

Love is not necessarily taken into account. It is neither something to which one aspires, nor a necessary condition for happiness. One must follow one s destiny. Love marriages are still an exception. Arranged marriages serve for the best the interests of the families, safeguard the values from one generation to the other. But how can love, how can whole lives be the business of families and not of oneself? In this first person narrative documentary, the director tries, as she encounters her Indian friends, to approach and define what love can be like when one is not given a choice.

Once a tribe of fierce warriors ruled by rigid traditions, The Wassangari people have abandoned their battles, but have maintened their strict patriarchy to this day. Following the death of his father, the director return to his village after a ten-year absence. He is disheartened to see his sisters and nieces suffering from the Wassangari s enduring traditions of female oppression. But he is surprised to find his mother liberated.

When Mora Kpai was a child, his mother, a stranger to him, was simply one of his father s wives, a mere shadow in the family compound Today, she has received a title, Si-Gueriki the Queen Mother , the female equivalent of a king. Si-Gueriki "The Queen Mother" is the story of a young man s confrontation with his culture and traditions. It s an intimate, personal film an insider s view of this ancient culture. The film is also the belated meeting between a son and his two "mothers".

Experiencing the end of childhood together.

The series focuses on the upbringing of the children, and its framework is the everyday life of the families. The children and their parents will be filmed regularly and a number of documentaries will be made showing the children as they grow up. Being now Prime Minister for a third mandate, he confided in the camera of the filmmaker Omar Amiralay a couple of months ago.

On a play background, a discrete and strange game is beginning between the author and the main character of his film.

It seems that he was a cosmopolitan, whose creative works overpass geographical boarders and are ahead of the time. This film will be an effort to decode Starewitch by using the means of his own artistic thinking, utilising all the contemporary means of pictorial expression and tiding together the biographical facts, memoirs, archives and factual information told by experts: The American, French and British anthropologists fight in and amongst their subject of study: During that time there were women and men who put up resistance, swapping their normal lives for an ideal.

Many were arrested, tortured, or lived life underground. Many had children, the product of better times and the opportunity to develop and enjoy a relationship. Soon, however, they would have to give up those children, as a true family did not correspond to the realities experienced. Contacts were scarce and made under a dense security blanket: Many children were only reunited with their parents after the fall of the dictatorship.

Others lost their faces in the depths of their memories. While some would never forgive their parents for having abandoned them for the sake of an ideology, others would follow their path embracing similar ideals. Who are these boys and girls, today? What place do they have in the world? How do they deal with their own identity? A Hungarian Jew who emigrated to France in , he was a fanatical artist with a passion for life.

Photography was a later vocation. He was successively a fashion designer, pianist, wrestling champion, trade union leader, director, journalist and painter. When he achieved fame as a photographer after the Second World War, it was rather in spite of himself. The author makes use of the cultural gap and gets close to a bunch of tough, sweet women athletes, citizens of what is known to the rest of the world as a bizarre and horrific leader-cult-operetta.

What does life look like in the last reclusive communist regime on earth? What has become of the daughters of the revolutions? She was arrested in , after an attempt to smuggle 8 kilos of cocaine out of Lima. She was given a 15 years sentence without parole.

What consumes the time at home? Play, relaxation, idle closeness with the family? Or work that never ends after the invention of mobile phones and s? Free time taken over by kid s hobbies? What space is left for play and playfulness Or, maybe it is the grim Finnish culture with protestant ethics that prohibits us having fun after a certain age?

This is achieved by using interviews parent s and children s , a massive amount of 8mm films, photographs and archive material from the 70 s and 80 s, direct cinema scenes and by a subjective narration by the filmmaker which will interweave this all together. The style of the narration will be funny, even laconic. Nature has not organized immortality.

Nor Reproduction nor species continuity need immortality but it may be possible. Today the question of an almost immortal man is made accurate by the latest scientific researchs about ageing process, genomics, or nanotechnologies.

The historical back story will be told with the old Soviet archive films. The themes the project aims at dealing with are already well defined: All nuclear landmarks towards which memory and imagination need no signpost.

But shockingly the Cold War s most callous experiment has remained hidden from public knowledge for nearly 60 years Constructed in in a remote corner of Kazakhstan, Kurchatov - one of Stalin s secret cities formed the epicentre of a massive nuclear testing which, over four decades, released the equivalent of more than 20, times the radiation of the Hiroshima bomb.
