Cilaos

A mother and a promise. “If the dead command the living”, sings a woman that promised her mother she would find the father she never knew and settle the score with him, for both of them. Upon the rumour that he died, she doesn’t quit and continues searching for him.

Impression of a War

It’s impossible to tell the history of violence in Colombia. An internal and interminable armed conflict has had its lines of demarcation become indecipherable and it’s merely a part of life in this country. But Restrepo tries to tell this story.

La machine d’enregistrement

What does it mean to be a Palestinian film director? Or a refugee director? What does it mean to make (or be able to make) films in Palestine? Three filmmakers, refugees in the Dheisheh camp, talk about their cinema. And they show it too.

Like Shadows Growing as the Sun Goes Down

We are in Medellín, Colombia, and time is marked by the repetitive and constant moments, and movements, in city life, like neverending traffic, or people taking a break from work.

Los Conductos

The vibrant colours and the texture give an idiosyncratic beauty to a film whose main character lives haunted by violent memories that are revealed as we get to know him better. ‘Pinky’ has fled a cult linked to a transcendent figure, but now he is unable to reconcile the turbulence he feels. An individual journey that intertwines with the social and political panorama of Colombia.

Planches, clous, marteaux

Gravayat mixes images from the past, from the 50s to the 70s, and contemporary images to show connections and developments in the Seine-Saint-Denis area, on the outskirts of Paris, a place of precarious housing, whose populations are always under attack.

Terminus For You

The coarse grain of the 16mm film composes images that demand more attention from our gaze. The camera takes us through the Paris metro, observing who is lonely, in love, in a hurry or tired of life.

Tropic Pocket

Restrepo points his 16mm camera at a Colombian area, Choco, geographically isolated between sea and forest, on the border with Panama. Despite the adverse living conditions, it opens the way to religious missions, military operations and even tourism projects.
