Memory Room 451

The subject matter of Memory Room 451 is the cultural and historical significance of 20th-century hairstyles – the Afro, the conk, dreadlocks – in Black communities on both sides of the Atlantic. Akomfrah has disguised this exploration as a science fiction story – in the manner of the groundbreaking writers profiled in The Last Angel of History – while providing a bravura display of the aesthetics of video art in the 1990s. The tale of visitors from the future who gather dreams from unwitting subjects in order to construct a history of the Black diaspora both defamiliarizes Akomfrah’s ongoing project and points to the danger that extracting history from memory can be a kind of expropriation.

The Infinite Confinement

In “Spaces #3”, 7 internationally acclaimed directors shot, after commissioning by the Thessaloniki International Film Festival, a short film at home, making their own timely comment on the new reality that we live in. The project is inspired by the book “Species of Spaces” by the French novelist, filmmaker, documentalist, and essayist, Georges Perec and the days of quarantine. The idea is to create a film at home, using the environment, the people or the animals in that space. The only outdoor areas that may be used are outdoor living spaces, such as the terrace, the garden, the balcony and the stairwell. “The Infinite Confinement” is Victor Moreno’s submission.

Après les nuages

This is a collective film shot on film, made with and by the opponents of the Cigéo project in Bure and the surrounding area, in the Meuse and Haute-Marne departments. In the film, several worlds clash, intersect, observe each other, mingle, or avoid one another. There are people who live underground, others on the surface or in the trees. We imagined what would happen in a world contaminated by nuclear power. A dystopian film? Perhaps. But also an archival film where some of the places that appear on screen no longer exist. This film was made in parallel with the struggle, alongside it, in close contact with it, in the slow, deliberate process of collective creation, between 2016 and 2020. The story was entirely written, inspired by what was happening here. It is permeated by our fears about the future, our anger and our hope that there will always be people to inhabit the threatened areas and fight against these morbid projects.

The Zone

THE ZONE At age 50 from the fall of a mysterious and unidentified object, there are many urban legends and myths about the Zone, the area of 10 square kilometers located in northern Italy, from which no one has ever been back: no man, no machine, no robot. Inside the Zone every instrument instantly ceases to function and every attempt to solve the mysteries has failed miserably. No technological and biological creature has been able to find out what lies within it. On this important anniversary, 4 people unknown to each other are about to access to the Zone, accompanied by a guide able to circumvent the security systems.
