All the Cities of the North (2016)

Жанна Дильман — вдова и мать-одиночка, живущая в квартире, адрес которой вынесен в название фильма. В фильме показаны три последовательных дня её жизни.

На второй день в установленном порядке начинаются сбои...

Джин возвращается в родной Бангкок из Швеции, где три года изучала дизайн. Она мечтает превратить родительский дом в свой офис, оформленный в традициях скандинавского минимализма. На пути к белоснежной чистоте встаёт накопленный за долгие годы хлам: школьные тетрадки, старые мобильники, подарки от кого-то, родительские вещи, в том числе папин рояль. Вооружившись идеями Мари Кондо, героиня приступает к аннигиляции. Но если удалить из своей жизни неодушевленную материю ещё получается, то связанных с объектами людей не очень.

A young man performs 'pranayama' sitting against a bleak wall. We observe him through a frame that seems to be connected to him in some way.

This experimental feature film is comprised of 7 parts of black and white imagery with no sound at all.

This documentary captures the overflowing energy and activity of one today's greatest composers, Philip Glass, and allows us to follow him from New York to London and from Paris to Boston.

The film also shows him at work on the last details of his opera The Sound of a Voice, directed by Robert Woodruff and conducted by Alan Johnson.

It’s like almost all is lost. Yet still they are here – abandoned bungalows, an artificial lake, dirty plastic bottles, lost donkeys and stray dogs, draining pipes running over fields of salt, deserted factories, statues of revolutionaries, concrete playgrounds covered with weeds, rotten fruit, folded T-shirts, pop songs, decades of forgetting, a single room with a blue tent inside. And it felt like a kiss.

One of Takahiko Iimura's (and modern art's) earliest works in conceptual video, A Chair entirely consists of a steady (and usually ghosted) image of a chair to the accompaniment of the firecracker pops of television static. While formally minimal, A Chair is conceptually challenging in its simplicity and its demand that the audience zero in on, of all things, a simple chair. - Tom Fritsche
