The post Laurynas Bareisa – Seses AKA Drowning Dry (2024) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

At the beginning of the 1960s, when the French pioneers of cinéma vérité set out to achieve a new realism, and when direct cinema in Québec began to vie for notice, the Baltics witnessed the birth of a generation of documentarists who favored a more romantic view of the world around them. This meditative documentary essay – from a Latvian writer and Lithuanian director whose composed touch has long dovetailed with the stylistically diverse works of the Baltic New Wave – pushes adroitly past the limits of the common historiographic investigation to create a portrait of less-clearly remembered filmmakers. The result is a consummate poetic treatment of the ontology of documentary creation. Or a cinematic poem about cinema poets.

Adam’s first wife Lilith is mentioned in ancient Oriental legends, in Talmud and in the medieval books of Cabala. According to these sources, she was not created from Adam’s rib like Eve but from clay like he himself. Nevertheless Lilith was not recognized by Adam as his equal and left him after a quarrel heading for Babylon where pre-Adamians lived. She has no soul, and she is immortal. Lilith assumes different names, can change her appearance, and takes possession of men against their will. Once it’s accomplished, she leaves her victims forever, marking them for either spiritual, or physical death. Whatever she does it is neither Good nor Evil. She is made of an altogether different matter. The story consists of three interrelated stories: “Escape” (1664, Hanseatic League); “Loss” (1883, Russian Empire/France); “Aberration Feelings” (1990, Latvia).

The post Oskars Rupenheits – Kriminālās ekselences fonds AKA The Foundation of Criminal Excellence (2018) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Drawing on his own archive, lauded filmmaker Vitaly Mansky gives a close account of a turning point in Russia’s recent history. In a surprise move on December 31, 1999, the first president of the Russian Federation Boris Yeltsin handed over the reins to his chosen successor, Vladimir Putin. Putin’s Witnesses covers his first year in power. Putin led the country back to Soviet-style nationalism, and has employed tyrannical methods to remain in power ever since. That knowledge casts an eerie shadow over the filmed material.

Mansky’s erstwhile position with Russian state television allowed him to get closer to Putin and Yeltsin than one could even imagine nowadays. In an almost casual manner, he records how Putin, right after winning the election, silently cuts ties with his predecessor. Mansky occasionally cajoles Putin into articulating views that might give a hint of his concept of power. More often, the president’s insipid responses betray his reluctance to account for political decisions.

Looking back, Mansky also questions his own role in presenting an image of this president and his bid for power. In the face of such events, is it possible to simply be a witness? At which point does silence turn into complicity?
