Vladimir Lenin

Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Iceland, July 9, 2016. The surprising discovery of a canister —containing four reels of The Village Detective (Деревенский детектив), a 1969 Soviet film—, caught in the nets of an Icelandic trawler, is the first step in a fascinating journey through the artistic life of film and stage actor Mikhail Ivanovich Zharov (1899-1981), icon and star of an entire era of Russian cinema.

Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, better known as Lenin, is remembered as the instigator of the October Revolution of 1917 and, therefore, as one of the men who changed the shape of the world at that time and forever, but perhaps the actual events happened in a way different from that narrated in the history books…

In the last 250 years, free-market ideology has played a central role in the development of the logic and rhetoric that have influenced the daily life of populations throughout the world. It was cornered for a few decades during the twentieth century in favor of a social economy for the public interest, and then returned to the limelight in the last thirty years of the century to dominate the logics that drive world economies, doing the favor of the elites at the expense of 99%. Through the testimony of six people informed about the facts, Laissez-faire offers a historical and ideological perspective through which to identify the fundamental problems of the economic mechanism on which societies are based.

무한 이윤을 추구하는 기업이란 무엇인가? 은 놀랍고도 쇼킹한 자료화면을 풍부하게 이용하여 관객들과 함께 역사와 현대의 '기업'들에 관한 스터디 케이스를 시작한다. 노엄 촘스키, 마이클 무어, CEO 레이 앤더슨과 밀톤 프리에드만의 인터뷰를 통해 미래의 비젼을 명료하게 말하면서 사기업 뒤의 기관에 대한 집요한 기만성을 없애려 하고 있다.

5천년에 걸친 인류 역사에 있어서 가장 중요한 사건은 환경의 변화다. 옛 자연에서 새 자연으로, 즉 자연의 환경에서 테크놀로지의 환경으로 변한 것이다. 이것은 여러 제국들보다 중요하고, 세계 종교보다 강력하며, 대전투보다 결정적이고, 지구상의 온갖 격변보다 훨씬 충격적이다. 는 이러한 환경의 변화를 다루고 있다. 지구상의 조화를 꾀하는 방식이, 자연의 경우 다양한 차이의 미스터리를 통해서라면, 새 자연은 테크놀로지의 균질화를 통해서다. 는 이 단일한 사건의 반영이며, 여기서 우리의 주제는 미디어 그 자체다. 기술의 요람, 테크놀로지의 결정체. 미디어가 바로 우리 이야기이다. 인간은 테크놀로지를 도구로서 이용하는 게 아니라, 아예 삶의 한 방법으로서 테크놀로지를 통해 존재한다. 이제 테크놀로지는 인간에게 있어 산소와 같은 것이 되었고, 인간은 이제 테크놀로지 없이는 살 수가 없다. 테크놀로지의 욕망은 무한하기 때문에, 유한한 자연의 세계를 소모하고 있다. 결국 테크놀로지는 결국 ‘나코이카시’, 즉 전쟁으로서의 삶이다. 삶의 힘에 대한 허가된 공격인 것이다. 는 우리를 지구상 어디에도 없는 곳이자 동시에 어디에나 있는 곳으로 여행을 안내한다. 이미지 그 자체. 그것이 바로 우리의 로케이션 장소다. 여기서는 가상공간이 실제공간을 압도한다. 옛 신들이 폐위되고 새로운 빛의 만신전이 통합된 컴퓨터 회로에서 나타난다. 그것의 진실이 진짜 진실이 된다. 미래와 자연경관, 비극과 반짝이는 희망이 동시에 이미지와 음악의 디지털 파도 속에서 하나로 융합된다. 새로운 세계가 오고 있다. 새로운 세계가 여기 있다. 는 이에 대한 코멘트이다.

Human Remains is a haunting documentary which illustrates the banality of evil by creating intimate portraits of five of the 20th century's most reviled dictators. The film unveils the personal lives of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Joseph Stalin, Francisco Franco and Mao Tse Tung. We learn the private and mundane details of their everyday lives -- their favorite foods, films, habits and sexual preferences. There is no mention of their public lives or of their place in history. The intentional omission of the horrors for which these men were responsible hovers over the film.

In 1978, just after Le fond de l'Air Est Rouge, which mercilessly analyzed the previous ten years of the revolutionary left's momentum until its collapse, Chris Marker made this complementary piece entitled Quand le Siècle a Pris Forme (Guerre et Révolution).

크리스 마커는 시대의 목격자였을 뿐만 아니라 활발한 영화적 실천가였다. 가능한 모든 형식의 영화를 포함한 사진집, 전시 등 그의 광범위한 활동을 돌아보는 것은 마커의 개인적인 정치와 예술 성향뿐만 아니라 세계사를 짚어 보는 일이다. 프랑스를 넘어 세계 역사에 영향을 끼친 68 혁명을 다룬 붉은 대기는 그의 영화 중 가장 정치적이고 전투적인 영화로 당시 세상의 해결책처럼 등장한 ‘새로운 좌파’의 탄생을 사적 에세이 형태로 보여준다. 특정 이념은 과거에 남아 있지만 당시 폭발하기 시작한 세계를 기록한 다큐멘터리, 이미지의 힘은 사상보다 더 위대함을 보여주는 작품이다.

Documentary footage (from the 1950s) and accompanying commentary to attempt to answer the existential question, Why are our lives characterized by discontent, anguish, and fear? The film is in two completely separate parts, and the directors of these respective sections, left-wing Pier Paolo Pasolini and conservative Giovanni Guareschi, offer the viewer contrasting analyses of and prescriptions for modern society. Part I, by Pasolini, is a denunciation of the offenses of Western culture, particularly those against colonized Africa. It is at the same time a chronicle of the liberation and independence of the former African colonies, portraying these peoples as the new protagonists of the world stage, holding up Marxism as their "salvation", and suggesting that their "innocent ferocity" will be the new religion of the era. Guareschi's part, by contrast, constitutes a defense of Western civilization and a word of hope, couched in traditional Christian terms, for man's future.
