Marc-André Batigne

Fragmented memories of a voyeur in 3 chapters: "I grew up" but I’m still falling. "The stalker" who loses his footing. "Memory" and regression.

The members of a debt-ridden family reunite in an evanescent Tangier, running away from painful memories but at the same time clinging to a past they do not want to forget. Their childhood home and its magnificent estate are due to be sold in early autumn; increasingly, summer days fade into distant memory.

We see a succession of scattered glam images: beat-up figures on lucid papers and dreamlike landscapes, until the (apelike) apparition of a model and her photographer. Together, they will play martyr and demiurge. They will attempt to achieve grace in a world of moving surfaces.

Film semibiográfico, dividido en cuatro episodios históricos, que narra la historia de una familia (mi familia) desde 1948 hasta la actualidad. La película está inspirada en los diarios de mi padre, empezando por cuando él era un luchador de la resistencia en 1948, y las cartas de mi madre a familiares que eran forzados a abandonar el país desde entonces. Combinados con mis memorias de ellos y con ellos, la película intenta retratar la vida diaria de aquellos palestinos que permanecen en su país y que fueron etiquetados como "árabe-isralíes", viviendo como minoría en su propia tierra.

Chronicle of a Disappearance unfolds in a series of seemingly unconnected cinematic tableaux, each of them focused on incidents or characters which seldom reappear later in the film. Among the many unrelated scenes, there is a Palestinian actress struggling to find an apartment in West Jerusalem, the owner of the Holy Land souvenir shop preparing merchandise for incoming Japanese tourists, a group of old women gossiping about their relatives, and an Israeli police van which screeches to a halt so several heavily armed soldiers can get off the car and urinate.

The first full length film to be shot within the disputed Palestinian West Bank "Green Line," FERTILE MEMORY is the feature debut of Michel Khleifi, acclaimed director of the Cannes Film Festival triumph, WEDDING IN GALILEE.
