The Men I Loved

Tereza Trautman

Brazil

1973, 85'

Pity and Dido are married, but that doesn’t prohibit extramarital relationships; on the contrary, they are encouraged. The film questions rigid cultural standards and what a woman is allowed to do. Directed by Tereza Trautman when she was just 22, a film banned by the Brazilian military dictatorship for its inclusion of sexual and feminist content, presented in a new digital print restored by the Cinemateca Brasileira.

An American Chronicle

A film about a film that never existed. In the 1970s, Michelangelo Antonioni wrote a screenplay, entitled Two Telegrams, with the American Rudy Wurlitzer. In the 1980s, Portuguese producer Paulo Branco agreed with the director to make the film in the United States. For various reasons, the film didn’t happen. In this film, the imagination of the two directors picks up on what this unfinished project could have been.

Atlas Of An Amateur Cinema: Mapping the Discarded

It is estimated that around 99% of amateur cinema and home movies are lost. Cartography of the Discarded is the first episode of a series that explores what remains of this private cinema. It is an introduction to an enormous blind field in the history of cinema, a cartography of exclusion.

Germaine Dulac’s Illustrated Records

These “illustrated records” from the 1930s are music videos avant la lettre. A work by the Cinémathèque Française that recovers a forgotten production by the pioneer of French impressionism, starting to pair, only last year, the recordings with the original songs.

R21 aka Restoring Solidarity

Mohanad Yaqubi recovers a gesture of solidarity that has been lost for 30 years. The Japanese solidarity movement with Palestine was committed to the cause of audotermination. Yaqubi discovered a set of 21 16mm reels from a collective of militant filmmakers. The recovery of these works resulted in a film that questions the universality of certain political struggles. Several of the reels recovered and presented here were controversially censored at Documenta 15.

The Afterlight

In Damien Chazelle’s Babylon, someone tells an actor that 100 years from now he will come back to life whenever a reel of his work is projected. In this film, countless actors from all over the world, who are now dead, come back to life, creating a cast of angels and ghosts. The film has a single 35mm print, incorporating natural wear and tear in each viewing, until it erodes definitively — this will be the 56th screening of the film and Shackleton’s fifth film at IndieLisboa.
