The Anabasis of May and Fusako Shigenobu, Masao Adachi, and 27 Years Without Images
Sound Recordist
A film on exile, revolution, landscapes and memory, Anabasis brings forth the remarkable parallel stories of Adachi and May, one a filmmaker who gave up images, the other a young woman whose identity-less existence forbade keeping images of her own life. Fittingly returning the image to their lives, director Eric Baudelaire places Adachi and May’s revelatory voiceover reminiscences against warm, fragile Super-8mm footage of their split milieus, Tokyo and Beirut. Grounding their wide-ranging reflections in a solid yet complex reality, Anabasis provides a richly rewarding look at a fascinating, now nearly forgotten era (in politics and cinema), reminding us of film’s own ability to portray—and influence—its landscape.
Women Are Heroes
Sound
O artista francês JR leva-nos a locais dos quais já ouvimos falar na televisão quando alguma tragédia se abate sobre eles, mas que se encontram afastados dos habituais destinos turísticos. Trabalhando disfarçado, ele transforma as ruas, os edifícios, as favelas em verdadeiras galerias de arte, obrigando os transeuntes a ver Arte que, de outro modo, não encontrariam. A sua motivação é trazer à superfície questões fundamentais. Ele apresenta mulheres generosas que nada têm mas que estão disponíveis para partilhar, mulheres com passados dolorosos e que querem construir um futuro radioso.
