Notes for les Sanglières
Music
Elsa Brès' "Notes for les Sanglières" imagines an alliance between wild boars and people grounded on concepts of boarcentrism, ecofeminism and forms of communal living. Shot in the area of the Cévennes, in the South of France, the video brings together ideas, experiments, field recordings and fiction tracks that sketch the common struggle of human and animal rights.
Sweat
Music
The first attempts to map the Mississippi Delta date back to the early 18th century. An uncontrollable, fragile and shifting environment in itself, it has since been constantly transformed by the exploitation of its resources. Navigating between times and spaces, the real and the speculative, Sweat gradually immerses us between the lines of the maps, in the fluctuating and insubordinate part of this territory, by following the living beings that inhabit it.
Love Canal
Music
300 million years ago, the north of France was a wetland. 140 years ago, a canal is dug and never filled with water. One day, vagabonds decide to go down an invisible river and pick on the way débris of a world to start a new one. The film finds its starting point in the 1970s environmental scandal of Love Canal (NY, USA) who led to the Superfund act (1986), the first federal program on damages caused to natural ressources by industrial sites. From there, the film traces a path through the post-industrial landscapes of north of France and questions, through fiction, the taking in hand (metaphorically and litterally) of those great landscapes.
Stella 50.4N1.5E
Music
A sea of dunes. An unpopulated seaside resort. Hands putting together a heap of documents. The landscape is an architecture.
