Beyond the Ararat

"Beyond the Ararat" is the story of a woman of Turkish origin who embarks on a journey to better understand what makes up her identity. A road movie which brings her from her childhood neighborhood in Brussels to Turkey and Armenia. A quest where each woman she encounters could be the reflection of herself. Entering the land of her ancestors, Anatolia, she questions her cultural heritage. Stopping in her grandmother's village, she discovers the "Agit"; an antique oral tradition where women sing for their dead. The songs open a potential space for mourning, where Turkish, Kurdish but also Armenian women missing from that land, can sing "together". The confrontation with the "missing" from her memory, brings her farther eastward in Anatolia to the foot of the Ararat Mountain, and beyond.

Artémis

Artemis is not a Cinématon in the strict sense of the term since the person being filmed - Artemis - is not an individual but a statue! This portrait is therefore not part of the Cinématon anthology and is, consequently, outside the collection. In Greek mythology, Artemis, filmed here on the Acropolis in Athens, was the goddess of the hunt, childbirth, and the moon. Of course, this Cinematon is not a real one, but it gives a fairly precise idea of ​​what the one of the goddess Artemis could have been like if the cinematograph had been invented more than 2000 years earlier!

Both decide to create a monumental mural portraying a singular portrait of the inhabitants of this territory, inspired by the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera. "The Clichy-Montfermeil Chronicles" not only illustrates how an urban utopia of the 1960’s has transformed into a neighborhood in a state of unrest, but also sheds a light on subjects JR and Ladj Ly covered over a decade ago.
