The Son of the Olive Merchant

For their honeymoon, Anna and Mathieu went to Turkey. With camera in hand, they traced the footsteps of Garabed, the Armenian grand-father of Mathieu, who escaped the 1915 genocide. In this country where speaking of the Armenian genocide could be dangerous, their name with Turkish intonations serves a purpose to get people talking about their idea of the Turkish involvement during 1915 tragedy. A road trip across the country leads to a sad confirmation - the denial has become institutional.

A succession of visual emotions in a sort of “filmed rotogravure,” where sequences and segments follow an ironic and dramatic logic that highlights the obsessions, the poverty, and the myths that shook the neoconsumerist society of those years. This approach frames, but at the same time transcends, pure reportage, venturing into a reflection on the meaning of seeing and imagining. The techniques employed range from direct rotoscope to works-in-progress, from citationism to photographic contamination.

Brazil. In a neighborhood like so many others, 4 kids meet to play. The year is 1994, World Cup. The streets are painted and the atmosphere is joyful. It's time to celebrate. Despite the frenzy over the Brazilian team, they do not play football, but a game with their hands. They get their sticks, plastic bottles, a tennis ball and chalk... A TACO or BETS match will start, depending on the region in the country. The place is peculiar, the field is the street, the fans are the people who come and go and there is no referee, which causes a lot of confusion. They play, get hurt, fight, help each other, but the most important thing is to have fun. Here it does not matter differences, prejudice nor contradiction because there is only one condition : friendship and unity".
