SCREENING WITH Q&A

The Apple Doesn’t Fall…

Sentences are projected, but no reply ever comes. Movements are cold and unhurried — so that nothing can catch anyone off guard. Everything is calculated. Everything is plastic. Everything is exactly as it must be. Father, mother and daughter comply with what is written in their script: a façade-family performing a choreography they call home.

The Death of the Fish

When the fish dies, the mother’s depression breaks the surface. The daughter dances to keep the world afloat.

The Inner Ear

Lorenzo’s ear feels different. It was after a boat accident that the ringing began — and never left — growing louder and more insistent, seeping into the fabric of his everyday life. Through medical appointments and less conventional therapies, this is his search for relief — for something that might restore silence.

Horde

A choreography of people and kindred creatures moves toward a bizarre tower. As if under a spell — a hypnotic occurrence — the group is unable to stop, estranged from command over their own faculties. Yet there is someone who seems to vibrate at a different frequency.

Loynes

Following the acclaimed Sun Dog (2020), this is the second film by Dorian Nour Jespers, a young Belgian filmmaker with a certain flair for the absurd. In Loynes — which premiered at Cannes’ Quinzaine des Cinéastes — a corpse goes on trial in 19th-century Liverpool.
