The Skid Kid (1991)

Вместе с семьей автор детективов поселяется в небольшом городке, в доме, где почти год назад развернулась леденящая душу трагедия — были убиты все жильцы. Писатель случайно находит видеозаписи, которые являются ключом к тайне преступления. Но ничто не дается даром: в доме начинают происходить жуткие вещи и теперь под угрозой жизнь его близких. Они столкнулись с чем-то, от чего нет спасения…

Летом 1979 года несколько друзей из маленького городка в Огайо, снимающие любительский фильм на камеру «Супер 8», стали свидетелями железнодорожной катастрофы. И вскоре они начинают подозревать, что это не было просто несчастным случаем. Странные исчезновения и необъяснимые события начинают происходить в городке, и местный шериф пытается разгадать их тайну — что-то куда более ужасающее, чем все могли себе представить.

На дворе 1973 год, и в Испании бушует франкистская диктатура. Вопреки запретам простой коммивояжер Альфредо собирается пойти на явное преступление — снять 8 эротических «образовательных» фильмов и переправить их в лояльную Скандинавию. Он и подумать не мог, что его жена Кармен, «сыгравшая» в фильмах главные роли, в северных странах станет порнозвездой, и из Дании к Альфредо пожалует съемочная группа, чтобы помочь снять ему вдохновленный творчеством Бергмана фильм «Торремолинос 73»…

После рождения ребёнка Филипп покупает себе 8-миллиметровую кинокамеру. Поскольку это первая камера в городе, местный партийный босс берёт его своим официальным фотографом. С повышением по службе растет и слава любителя; только взгляд его на реальность через объектив становится все более неприятным и беспощадным и все менее устраивающим власть предержащих…

In April, 1975, civil war breaks out; Beirut is partitioned along a Moslem-Christian line. Tarek is in high school, making Super 8 movies with his friend, Omar. At first the war is a lark: school has closed, the violence is fascinating, getting from West to East is a game. His mother wants to leave; his father refuses. Tarek spends time with May, a Christian, orphaned and living in his building. By accident, Tarek goes to an infamous brothel in the war-torn Olive Quarter, meeting its legendary madam, Oum Walid. He then takes Omar and May there using her underwear as a white flag for safe passage. Family tensions rise. As he comes of age, the war moves inexorably from adventure to tragedy.

A grandmother dies and leaves behind hours of secret film and audio recordings as well as an envelope with the words “Must read after my death,” which reveal a dark history for her family to discover.

In 1948, French singer Charles Aznavour (1924-2018) receives a Paillard Bolex, his first camera. Until 1982, he will shoot hours of footage, his filmed diary. Wherever he goes, he carries his camera with him. He films his life and lives as he films: places, moments, friends, loves, misfortunes.
