Plot synopsis
A 40-year old man (Kostas Ferris) has reached a milestone of his life. Representing the generation that lived the French rebellion in May ’68, he doesn’t fit into any ideological or social group. Thrown out by everyone, he leaves the coenobium where he was staying. He goes out on the streets, meets old friends and people his age and he gets back together with his old girlfriend as well. He disapproves of a system that may have given birth to him, but which he obstinately refuses to accept. As, neither love nor profound theory can fill his empty soul, he directs his theatrical death.Read More »

Tango Negro: The African Roots of Tango by Angolan filmmaker Dom Pedro explores the expression of Tango’s Africanness and the contribution of African cultures in the creation of the tango. Tango was a reflection of the social life of the slaves that were taken to South America – including Argentina and Uruguay – mostly from central Africa, particularly from the former Kongo Kingdom. Director Dom Pedro reveals the depth of the footprints of the African music on the tango, through this rich movie combining musical performances and interviews from many tango fans and historians in Latin America and Europe, including the renowned Argentinean pianist Juan Carlos Caceres.Read More »

Earth’s Moon is the site of Moonbase Alpha, a scientific research colony nestled in the crater Plato. Staffed by over 300 men and women from Earth, it is the operations center for several space expeditions. It is also a watchdog for vast amounts of atomic waste from Earth stored in silos on the Moon’s far side. Magnetic radiation builds up and causes the wastes to explode with such force that the Earth’s centripetal pull on the Moon is overcome, and the Moon is broken free of Earth’s orbit to drift at incredible speed out of the Solar System off the plane of the ecliptic. The survivors on Moonbase Alpha are unable to return to Earth and must survive in unknown space on their wandering Moon. They encounter a planet whose advanced people project an illusion of a devastating attack on Moonbase.

Patrick Bokanowski’s extraordinarily intimate portrait of Henri Dimier at work focuses as much attention on the personality of the materials as on the painter himself. Only fitting, as Dimier repeatedly insists that the artist’s vocation is to let the paper “be aware of itself” and takes obvious pleasure showing the proper way to sharpen a pencil. Dimier demonstrates several playful exercises to cultivate an all-important sense of spontaneity while he approaches teaching as another opportunity for improvisation. “If you lose your momentum you lose your freedom,” Dimier opines. And indeed Bokanowski’s portrait exemplifies the benefit of sustained attention. – Max GoldbergRead More »
