Screening proposed by Koldo Almandoz, followed by a debate.
A propos de Nice (Jean Vigo, 1930, 25 min.)
Plot point (Nicolas Provost, 2007, 15 min.)
Way-Jambu (Manu Uranga, 2011, 8 min.)
Faceless (Manu Luksch, 2006, 50 min.). 3-minute fragment.
Films in which the actors are unaware they’re acting. Unrehearsed recordings. Sessions where nobody knows they’re in a film. To what extent is it ‘licit’ or ‘illicit’ to film people without them knowing? This is what these films have in common. Everyone in them has been filmed unawares, their image stolen, transformed and attributed with a new narrative.
Koldo Almandoz (Donostia-San Sebastián, 1973). On turning forty he decided to erase his official biography and join a sect. Nothing interesting to tell of his new life as yet… or of the old one, either.
