in 2019, when he was at the Efebo d’Oro as a guest, Mike Holboom shot footage that he has used to build his insightful reflections on the sense of travelling and visiting new places that he pieced together with the mastery and thoughtfulness that have always characterised him. Recalling also that Antonio Gramsci was a jogger…

In a scene from Godard’s Nouvelle Vague the camera moves along the façade of a night-illuminated villa, pauses briefly at its corner, and then mirrors its way back again to the starting point. Constanze Ruhm’s recent video, “Travelling,” adopts precisely this symptomatic movement taken from Nouvelle Vague to conceptually present its function within a virtual space.

Gli appunti di Anna Azzori / Uno specchio che viaggia nel tempo originally emerges from the LIVING ARCHIVE project initiated by Stefanie Schulte Strathaus in 2012, which invited filmmakers, artists, curators, theorists and other cultural producers to investigate and work with the archive of the Berlin-based Arsenal Cinema that contains more than 8000 films in order to develop contemporary projects and productions relating to that archive. This archive also holds a 16 mm copy of a film called ANNA by Italian Underground director Alberto Grifi and actor Massimo Sarchielli, which became the starting point and reference film for Gli appunti di Anna Azzori. The film tells the story of a female film character suspended between reality and fiction, and literally represents “uno specchio che viaggia nel tempo”: a mirror that travels through time (a phrase from a poem by Alberto Grifi). At the same time, it is dedicated to its heroine: being based on Anna’s (fictitious) notes it can be considered both – an imaginary portrait as well as a feminist reply to its template, Grifi’s and Sarchielli’s film.

Comparing local spectres is a film essay whose subject is the history of a specific place within the history of film, and the history of certain films related to this place. The project focuses on the site of the former film studios of St. Maurice near Paris, founded in 1913 and destroyed by fire in 1971: later in the 1970s, an apartment complex, Le Panoramis, was built there.

The central subject of the video Apartment that is based on a scene of J.-L. Godard’s Le mépris (1963) can be said to be the intersection of human and technological gaze. The work focuses on the central and over-long sequence in which Brigitte Bardot and Michel Piccoli portrait a couple who are about to split up.

Z, a physician and left-wing activist, dies in unusual circumstances. Investigations conducted by the appointed detective reveal responsibilities and attempts to cover them up by the Government and police. Awarded with two prizes at the Cannes Film Festival and an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, Z is a political and engaged film, which nonetheless employs the technical and narrative devices of more ‘spectacular’ films.

Pontecorvo had done the same a few years
earlier with the Algerian story.

Costa-Gavras, born in 1933 in Greece in the province of Iraia, he began his career directing detective films and then devoted himself almost permanently to the crime story. He went into exile due to the dramatic socio-political situation in his country and received French citizenship in 1965. Here he shot The Sleeping Car Murders starring Yves Montand who would become his ‘muse’ and star of many of the films he shot in Europe. In 1969 he received an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival for the film Z for which he took inspiration from the assassination of Lambrakis. In 1982, he won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival for Missing, a portrait of Chile under the Pinochet dictatorship. In 1989, he triumphed also in Berlin where Music Box won the Golden Bear. Adults in the Room is his first feature film shot in Greek. Adults in the Room is his first feature film shot in Greek.

A woman is found dead in one of the sleeping cars of the train connecting Marseille to Paris. It is the first of a series of murders, all perpetrated by the same killer.

For his first film, Costa-Gavras chooses a detective story rich in suspense. However, he goes beyond the genre canons by employing innovative visual solutions and makes the most of Hitchcock’s lesson while skilfully building up the suspense.

Michel and Lidia do not know one another, but share a common fate through their partners: the terminal illness of his wife and the consequences of their son’s death for her husband.

They are looking for a fresh start
and they both see it in the other. So, they completely change their initial plans and decide to flee to Venezuela. But is Lidia truly ready?
The romantic shift by Costa-Gavras, starting from the novel by Romain Gary, a writer of Lithuanian origin, results in a film centred on the efforts to face the unbearable drama of solitude.
