A mediterranean garden dulled in a hot summer afternoon. The camera twirl around like a wasp and, into the burnt super 8 images fragments, we discern, among stones and scrubs, erotics photos in which Bacchus spirit is blowing and who invite to wake up senses ...

The film takes place in a Parisian suburb and brings us into the closest possible contact with the people who live here and takes us into the privacy of their lives. A series of personal accounts and shots of the decorated interiors of apartments and houses with no hint as to where we are, no names. No stigma attached, no label given. For these are not the subject of the film, which seeks instead to give a face and a voice – a sort of private landscape – to a space that has come to represent all that is standardized and anonymous.

Colette Aboulker Muscat has taught Waking Dream for the past forty years in Jerusalem. To each person who comes for a consultation, she offers a short story leading to a waking dream, equal in intensity to a night dream. The surprise provoked by the story, and the shortness of the treatment are, for her, essential aspects of the process. The mental imagery itself allows one to overcome a problem or an illness.

Following the great explorers’ footsteps, “Congo River” takes us up one of the world’s greatest river basins, from its mouth to its source. All the way along its 2,716 miles, we pass places that testify to the country’s tumultuous history, and encounter the ghosts of those who shaped its destiny: Stanley, the explorer, Leopold II, the colonizer, Mobutu, the despot. We also cross paths with an entire people – boatmen guiding their dugout canoes, fishermen, traveling salesmen, military personnel and rebels, women and children – searching for light and dignity.

"Thirty years after the revolution which caused the departure of many Iranians, including of my family to France, I returned to Iran for a trip across the country, where, through my meetings with the women who remained there, I wished to capture the complexity of the arrangements of this people with the daily reality of their country. During the time of a film, like a colorful Persian carpet weaving made up of words, facts and gestures of women from different backgrounds, take shape the complex patterns of an ancestral art of living which continues to adapt to the realities of its society." -Sara Rastegar

The northern part of the island is dominated by spectacular landscapes, which descend towards the sea, alternating between steep rocks, villages with panoramic views, chestnut forests, and vertiginous gorges.

This film is the story of two teenagers and various friends--one dead, the other alive. A legacy of a history that is too heavy to bear, premeditated film, manipulation, and guilt. It's flashback, a crossroads of life and death, love and indifference, youth who feels lost, or one who believes he is found. It's a true story, a fragment of two lives that intersect at the threshold of adult life.

The film begins to move and a voice says: "Ich sterbe", then : "Je meurs" ("I'm dying"). A movie is said to move when the moves through the projection mechanism. Life is said to move on; there's also moving on for expiring in the sense of dying. A brief and interminable text, said by Chekhov and written by Sarraute, that Negro returns to us on an amnesiac image. This tale goes from Chekhov to Sarraute to Negro up to where we are - a body, before a page, a screen, a face. It's interminable. (Marie Muracciole)

A stupid and clumsy pirate, tormented by a great white shark, attempts to catch a treasure.

Memosium is composed like a concerto in three movements. Camera, body and space have their own tempo but all are played simultaneously. From its shots and characters, the story seems amnesic. Events reiterate themselves infinitely. We are in a time of repetition. Thus, all seems to start again, stressed by the circular arrangement of space. Prisoner of its own memory. Moreover, the acceleration and geometrical multiplication of movement, the complexity of the character’s activities, their mathematical cutting and the infinite re-arrangement of the body give the spectator a new awareness of time, without set limits. Only flight (death?) can allow escape from this trap of time.

K3 (Les Femmes) is dedicated to the Kabili women of North Africa. The artist superimposes images and sounds to highlight the difficulty these women face in proclaiming their identity. The film projects activities of Kabili women which usually include the raising of children, the family, and the household. Erased from the exterior society, their marginalisation is depicted through the fading in and out of images and sounds. However, within their own private spaces, they remain loyal, they sing, dance, and resist a society that does not take into account their full value.

In a world where the economy is no longer at the service of man but the man at the service of the economy, productivity objectives and management methods push employees to the limit. Never diseases, accidents at work have reached such a level.

Private Diary documents photographer Pedro Usabiaga working with a variety of amateur models. The audience sees how the relationships between the photographer and the subjects changes during their time together, as well as how the individual photographs begin to take shape. Pedro Usabiaga is a well-established Basque photographer whose chief concerns are figurative photography and whose passion in photographing the Spanish male. In this hour long conversation with the artist we are given entry into that process of selecting models (none of the models he uses for this book to be titled 'Private Diary' are professional, but instead are randomly chosen as Usabiaga observes athletes in action) and then allowed to follow Usabiaga and his crew as they photograph these men in natural settings and natural light.

«Whilst the greater number of our nocturnal visions are perhaps no more than faint and fantastic reflections of our waking experiences, there are still a certain remainder whose immundane and ethereal character permit of no ordinary interpretation, and whose vaguely exciting and disquieting effect suggests possible minute glimpses into a sphere of mental existence no less important than physical life, yet separated from that life by an all but impassable barrier.» H.P. Lovecraft, Beyond the Wall of Sleep OVERALL continues the project which began as ALL OVER. The creative process has become inversed since the primary material is now oil paint. The original film was painted with J. Pollock's dripping technique on a transparent film strip and then all colors were inversed in lab with a contact printer. The soundtrack was made using a signal processing environment called «Pure Data», calculating in real time the color density of the image.
