Continuously Occupied with Things of Love

A woman sweeps the floor, then hands the broom to a man: he sweeps a bit, and hands it back to her. In this film, named after Vasari’s biography of Giorgione, man and woman reenact Manet and Titian, switch places, and in so doing, exchange their nudity and the gaze that seeks it. In voiceover, a woman reads a letter telling of her efforts to sign up her daughter in daycare ; other kafkaesque situations follow, drawing wth humour the picture of a life of submission to an absurd administrative power. In the frame, birds and their choreographies echo the wanderings of the two characters in the Camargue countryside. (Nathan Letoré)

Portico Quartet Ensemble - Terrain (Extended) – Live in Studio One

Terrain (Extended) features an expanded version of the composition re-arranged for the Portico Quartet Ensemble – a subtle re-configuration of the band that features a string quartet - and which allowed for the compositions deeper textures and resonances to be fully explored, along the way expanding the dialogue between tranquillity and a subtly unsettling melancholy, that makes Terrain such a beautiful, powerful piece. Recorded live in the extraordinary acoustics of Studio One, in one continuous live take, with the cameras rolling.

Il faut se tromper

Whether in cabaret or in labial synchronisation, one of the most enjoyable games is to make yours someone else’s voice. Ventriloquized by a series of famous media voices the viewer can have fun identifying, the actor of Il faut se tromper moves from room to room and character to character over the course of a sunday wander through his appartment. Beyond the confusion of identities, Valentin Dilas’s magisterial performance, skillfully directed by Jean Boiron Lajous, speaks of how we incorporate the discourses of others and how their inner pathways structure our attitudes, including the very way we walk. (Claire Lasolle)

Long Live My Happy Head

An uplifting documentary about coping with inoperable cancer may sound unlikely, but here it is. Gordon was diagnosed eight years ago and began using the medium of queer comic books to confront his feelings and fears. He employs humour to get to the heart of taboos surrounding death and disease, weaving many of the wonderful carers and nurses he meets into his expressively illustrated world. Sage, sweet, and stimulating, it is also a long-distance love story between Edinburgh and Virginia, USA. We could all learn a thing or two about love, life – and death – from Gordon.
