Break Up (1948)

This short film is Godard’s message to the people of Lausanne, specifically journalist and critic Freddy Buache, addressing his reasons why he will not make a film about their town’s 500th anniversary. Rather than cynical or defensive, Godard's bemused narration of the footage of Lausanne is imaginative and even playful, a rumination on cinema's possibilities.

In 54 static shots, Benning provides a picture of the Natural History Museum in Vienna. With the exception of the first three shots, he chooses areas that are normally closed to the public: offices, store rooms and empty corridors. A characteristically meditative Benning, even though this time he chooses to stay indoors.

A slow-motion study by Norman McLaren of the pas-de-deux adagio, one of the most exacting and difficult dances of classical ballet. A ballet originally choreographed by the Russian ballet master Asaf Messerer is performed for this film by the internationally known Canadian pair, David and Anna Marie Holmes, to the music of Albinoni’s Adagio. A film to heighten the aesthetic appreciation of classical ballet and to afford observation of the technique and mechanics of the adagio movements.

Paper cutouts over images of mixed colorful liquids, creating hypnotizing swirls and aesthetic explosions, as well as combining original and futurological sounds. Starting with the relentless hunting of antelopes, the geometric cutouts show the constant struggle between the warring groups. We have been observing it since the primeval times, when the tools of the battles were arches and spears, through the times of the domination of swords, later replaced by firearms. The increasing automation and power of war machines, the emergence of tanks and aircraft, eventually the use of weapons of mass destruction lead to total annihilation

이 다큐멘터리는 결혼, 집 그리고 안정된 직업이 준비되지 않은 상태에서 아이를 갖게 된 어린 커플의 이야기이다. 학교 선생님과 친구들 그리고 기관의 관계자들은 ‘모범적인’ 절차를 따르지 않고 아이를 낳으려 하는 그들을 무모하다고 판단한다. 그러나 두 사람은 자신이 꿈꾸는 독립을 얻기 위해서 관료주의적 행정 절차와 사람들의 편견에 굴하지 않고 함께 살아가는 것을 배우려는 책임감을 보여 준다. "첫사랑"은 그런 두 사람이 크고 작은 시련에 맞서며 성숙하는 과정을 개입 없이 관찰자의 시선으로 담고 있다.

젊은 연인이 아침에 깨어나는 순간으로 시작되는 이 작품은 이불 속에서 깨어나고, 우유를 마시고, 짧은 대화를 나누고, 아침을 먹는 아침의 일상들을 보여주고 있다. 잦은 클로즈업과 밀착된 카메 라는 두 연인 사이의 가까움을 보여주지만 이들의 관계가 무엇인지를 또렷하게 확인시켜주지는 않는다. 두 사람은 꼭대기 층으로 올라가 자전거를 갖고 내려온다. 남자가 자전거를 타고 아침 길을 나선다.

The title of this twenty-minute video by Jean-Luc Godard and Anne-Marie Miéville, “Freedom and Fatherland,” is the official slogan of the Canton de Vaud, in Switzerland, where the filmmakers live and grew up. To fulfill their commission from a Swiss cultural festival, they adapted a great Swiss novel, “Aimé Pache, Painter from the Vaud,” by Charles Ferdinand Ramuz, from 1911 (about a local artist who goes to Paris for his education and then returns home) and extruded its autobiographical analogies to Godard’s own life and work. Using a choice set of clips from Godard’s films to coincide with events from the painter’s life, verbal references to modern times and to Godard’s own—Sartre, the late nineteen-sixties, the cinema—and images of the Swiss terrain, which plays a decisive role in the work of Pache, Godard, and Miéville (an important filmmaker in her own right), they produce the effect of mirrors within mirrors.

The first Wojciech J. Has (Saragossa manuscript) short film. Very simple and touching story about a boy who dreams about buying an accordion.
