Pharos of Chaos
Sound
Uma magnífica, comovente e emocionante entrevista com o ator americano Sterling Hayden (1916-86), realizada em Besançon, na França, a bordo de uma velha barcaça, quando ele tinha 65 anos de idade. Um retrato inigualável, com suas próprias palavras e sem qualquer hesitação, de uma lendária estrela de Hollywood, ícone do cinema noir e westerns, que era também um marine, um agente da OSS, um informante anticomunista, um escritor e um marinheiro errante: o herói de sua própria vida.

Who Invented the Yoyo? Who Invented the Moon Buggy?
Sound
Stuck in the German lands of “Yodelburg,” our hero Kidlat dreams of space and muses on humanity’s endless capacity for creativity, whether on the moon or at home in the Philippines. A delightful, self-proclaimed “third-world space spectacle.”
Every Revolution Is a Throw of the Dice
(Re)citer
A tribute to Mallarmé that not only asserts the continuing relevance of his work but also confronts its literary ambiguities with political and cinematic ambiguities of its own. In outline, the film could not be more straightforward: it offers a recitation of one of Mallarmé’s most celebrated and complex poems (it was his last published work in his own lifetime, appearing in 1897, a year before his death) and proposes a cinematic equivalent for the author’s original experiment with typography and layout by assigning the words to nine different speakers, separating each speaker from the other as she or he speaks, and using slight pauses to correspond with white spaces on the original page.
