You Are Here
Vous Êtes Ici
Jorge León
| Belgium | 2006 | 80mins | Beta | Colour |Subtitled
During an operation, the filmmaker took a camera along with him. He plunges into unconsciousness. We are here in the worlds he discovers, on the edge of words, on the boundaries of the body. This is where borders create painful separations, borders of a prison, the street, war, the mind. In this shattered mirror of reality, others look at us, others who could be us.

July Trip
Waël Noureddine
| France | 2006 | 35mins | 35mm | Colour | Subtitled
Beirut, July 2006. The Israeli bombings strike Lebanon. Waël Noureddine begins a journey across his country. Although the film is not a documentary, its real life images are gripping. Using 16mm film and HDV, this film questions the underlying principles of the documentary genre. The cameras capture a country in a state of terror and record the immediate effects of the war on civilians. Waël Noureddine films what we are afraid to confront and viewers experience Lebanese daily life – we feel the impact of bombings, touch the victims, and hear the deafening silence after bombings. |
