Leaving

Leaving is a short video piece that explores transient spaces and bodies through the chronicling of a hitchhiking trip taken during the summer of 2016, throughout Canada and the United States. Based on fragmentary evidence collected - a broken video camera, a wide variety of cuts and bruises and a general idea of what was written in a lost notebook - it explores the intersection between femininity and travel, the manifold perceptions of the other, as well as the use of intimacy and kinship as tools for protection.

1917: The Making of a Revolution

The Russian Revolution of 1917 marked the beginning of a new era, sending shockwaves across the world and overturning political thought. Through the voices of Lenin and Gorky, discover the two faces of the Revolution: the theory and the practice. Let us return to this mixture of exaltation and nervousness that propelled the Revolution's actors. Retrace their steps by using their own words, their outlook. This dual narrative will give a rich perspective: one abrupt, unpredictable, moving– will be Maxim Gorky. The other – as cold as history and tactics, the planning of the next move – will follow Vladimir Illyich Lenin. Both the writer and the revolutionary are haunted by the failure of the last great European revolution, the Paris Commune, 1871. Through exclusive archives and beautiful animation, Stan Neumann will immerse us into the day by day events, from February to October 1917.
