Quote:
The city of Aquilea has fallen under siege by sinister forces. A group of middle-aged men, led by a somewhat older man, resolve to mount clandestine resistance to the invaders and defend their city. Meetings are held, maps are studied, strategies are proposed—but can the invasion really be overcome?

Lost for years then rediscovered in 2004, the history of Hugo Santiago’s debut and its magical genre fluidity (is it an avant-garde crime thriller, a political sci-fi?) are the stuff of legend. Co-written by Jorge Luis Borges, who said it “may well be the first example of a new fantastic genre.”

Very rare documentary about writer and philosopher Maurice Blanchot, it’s based on the important book by Christophe Bident “Maurice Blanchot. Partenaire invisible” about the life and work of the author. Bident himself is present in the film as co-writer of the screenplay and as interviewed. Important philosophers and writers talk about Blanchot: Emmanuel Levinas, Jacques Derrida, Jean-Luc Nancy, Michel Surya, Roger Laporte, Louis-René des Forêts, Marguerite Duras, etc.

With Les Trottoirs De Saturne, Hugo Santiago returns to Aquileia, the fiction city of his classic debut Invasion, but here explores the fate of its exiles in Paris. Drawing extensivly from his own experience in Paris where he relocated from Argentina to make films (first as assistant to Robert Bresson then to produce his own films) and then became an exile, unable to return, as Argentina was overtaken by a miliarty dictatorship during his abscence.

This elegeic study of estrangement and displacement follows the experiences of an acclaimed Tango musician Fabián Cortes (played by real-life master Rodolfo Mederos) who becomes distanced from his surroundings and longs for his home country. Employing a sophisticated narrative structure combined with a tense script by Jose Saer and Jorge Semprún (noted for his scripts for Alain Resnais and Costa-Gavras) and elegent black and white photography, Les Trottoirs De Saturne is Santiago’s most personal film and a landmark reflection on the artist in exile.

Quote:
Les Trottoirs De Saturne tells the story of Fabián Cortes, a successful bandoneon player exiled in Paris for twelve years, who through the memory, or according to him, meetings in person, with another bandoneon player, Eduardo Arolas, who died in the thirties in the same European city, seeks to rediscover his lost identity. In Fabián’s Latin American homeland, called Aquilea, a new military revolution has broken out, and the repression unleashed is once again fierce. The bandoneonist, who has been obsessed for some time with the idea of returning, decides to face his return home with determination, with the excuse of accompanying and “protecting” his sister, who is trying to reorganize the resistance with a group of guerrillas. However, nothing would be less convenient: in the very streets of the mysterious City of Light a couple of strangers follow Fabián, someone harasses him with anonymous phone calls, a quiet police inspector approaches him with a “suggestion”… it seems as if at the rhythm of the fatal nostalgia of tango music a trap is slowly being woven.

nvasion is the legend of a city, real or imagined, under attack by powerful enemies and defended by a handful of men who may not be heroes. They will carry on their struggle to the finish, unaware that the battle is endless.

“Two analogous experiences, distant from each other, now live in my memory. The oldest has been with me since 1923: I’m referring to that afternoon when I held in my hands the first copy of my first book. The other, the recent one, is the emotion I felt when I saw Invasion on the screen. A printed book is not so different from a manuscript; a film is a visible projection, detailed, heard, enriched, and magical os something dreamed, barely descried. As I am one of the authors, I cannot allow myself to priase it. I would like to leave in writing, however, that Invasion es loke no other film, and it might well be the first of a new fantastic genre” –Jorge Luis Borges, Buenos Aires, April 1969
