Les démons meurent à l'aube

We are in 1979. In summer. In a small town of the deep Sologne. Caleb, a fifteen-year-old teenager with the physique of a Greek god, seduces Nadine, a forty-year-old librarian, out of idleness, by lying to her about his age and identity. Caleb has a brother, Estéban, who aspires to become a novelist. It is Estéban who directs his brother exactly as a film scriptwriter would. He instigates his brother's every move. He is the one who invents the twists and turns of this story of seduction that they both think has no consequences. Nadine, of course, falls in love with this young man whom she introduces to her husband Pierre who, in turn, is bewitched by the young man's charm.

Looking for the Man with the Camera

Boutheyna Bouslama remembers her holidays in Syria in the summer of 1994: a boy offered her an armful of cherries. He was called Oussama. Twenty years later, his name appears in the credits of Return to Homs by Talal Derki, programmed in Istanbul. The childhood friend has become “the man with the camera”, a “media activist” documenting the demonstrations and their repression by the Assad regime, until his arrest in 2012. The filmmaker sets off in search of the man whose name features on the list of the 70,000 forced disappearances that have occurred since the beginning of the conflict.

The Sacred Fire

First of all, "The Sacred Fire" is about the burning desire to get out there and film stuff. For some of us, recording and editing moving images is roughly equivalent to the need for air and water. This film is a free-wheeling yet structured cinematographic doodle in the silly and touching margins of daily life. It's about a guy with a track record who decides to film the journeys he takes and the love he encounters along the way. Made over the span of three years, "The Sacred Fire" embarks on the modest task of proving that pick-up a camera and film is just another way of expressing love.

Gluck: Iphigenie en Aulide / Iphigenie en Tauride

Before the Trojan War, Agamemnon gathered the Greek armies at the port of Aulis. The goddess Diane sent unfavorable winds to prevent the Greeks from sailing. Her oracle set a condition for Agamemnon: to earn the right to sail forth and destroy an innocent country, he would have to sacrifice his own daughter. Agamemnon accepted these terms and killed his young daughter Iphigénie on the altar. In his play Iphigenia in Tauris Euripides imagines that Diane plucked Iphigénie from that altar and delivered her to a temple in distant Tauride, where Iphigénie began to serve the enemy Scythians as Diane’s high priestess—all the while Iphigénie’s family believing her dead.
