Mikres Afrodites / Young Aphrodites. 1963.

Юные Афродиты / Mikres Afrodites / Young Aphrodites. 1963.
 Parallel stories of Eros set in 200 B.C. Nomadic shepherds, plagued by drought, happen on a fishing encampment with plentiful fresh water. The local men are away but will return when it rains; the shepherds stay to refresh their flock until the rain comes. A shepherd lad and a local girl, both on the verge of puberty, start a mating dance. Also, one of the shepherds approaches a beautiful local woman, inviting her to sleep with him. How will she respond? She's married, her husband at sea for the week. Is love forever or temporary? A subtext dramatizes the capture of fish, birds, foxes, and other animals: their fates seem arbitrary.
Director: Nikos Koundouros.
Cast: Eleni Prokopiou, Takis Emmanuel, Kleopatra Rota, Vangelis Ioannidis, Zannino, Anestis Vlahos, Kostas Papakonstantinou, Stathis Giallelis.

Juillet août / July-August. 2016.

FR. C’est l’été. Les familles migrent et se recomposent.
Laura, 14 ans, et Joséphine, 18 ans, partent en juillet avec leur mère dans le Sud, puis en août chez leur père en Bretagne.
La cohabitation entre ados et adultes ne manque ni de tendresse, souvent non-dite, ni d’exaspération, parfois bruyante…
Car les filles ont leurs secrets, qui n’ont pas grand-chose à envier aux problèmes de leurs parents et de leurs beaux-parents.
C’est l’été de tous les dangers? Pas tout à fait. Quoique.
EN. It's summer. Families migrate and recompose.
Laura, 14, and Joséphine, 18, leave in July with their mother in the South, then in August with their father in Brittany.
The cohabitation between teenagers and adults does not lack tenderness, often unspoken, nor exasperation, sometimes noisy...
Because girls have their secrets, which have little to envy the problems of their parents.
Is it the summer of all dangers? Not quite. Whatever.

Ellos Volvieron / They Returned. 2015.


Они возвращаются / Ellos Volvieron / They Returned. 2015.
 Ellos Volvieron (aka They Returned) is a beautifully touching and unnerving story about the unexplained disappearance of three children, two boys and one girl, and their reappearance three days later in a semi-autistic state. Not even the children themselves are able to help anyone understand what happened. No clues or signs are left, other than the fact that, as we discover later, two of them were mutilated.
As the police carry out their investigation, and the town slowly sinks into a deep state of suspiciousness, small community of children - classroom colleagues of the missing three - run their own parallel search.
Only one person is a potential suspect: the children’s own classroom teacher, recently arrived from another town. He does not help his case when he attempts to make the school psychologist understand that the children were in fact murdered...

Munted. 2011.


Munted. 2011.
 Innocence and prejudice weave together in a child’s story of betrayal.
Munted is an unusual story about an accusation of pedophilia and its terrible consequences. Set in 1961 in a remote rural community, it tells the story of a ten-year old girl and her friendship with a brain damaged artist. Told through erosions between film and drawing the film is a lyrical and brutal account of the cost of rumour and prejudice.
Set in the early 1960s Munted is an unusual film that tells the story of a mother who returns to retrieve Katrina, her almost feral daughter, from her sister’s farm. When it is evident that her sister is not going to give the child up, the mother’s attention is drawn to the child’s strange relationship with a brain-damaged botanical artist who rents a small cottage on the property.
Across the years of her childhood Katrina has befriended this man.
The artist, who can barely speak, paints delicate if somewhat discordant pictures of the world that surrounds him and it is via these that the story is told. For the first part of the film we are not sure of the safety of their relationship, but following a revelation, we see the cost of rumour on the innocence of their world. As an accusation of pedophilia takes hold the film builds to a dramatic and unforgiving climax.

Прах Анджелы / Angela's Ashes. 1999.
 Based on the best selling autobiography by Irish expat Frank McCourt, Angela's Ashes follows the experiences of young Frankie and his family as they try against all odds to escape the poverty endemic in the slums of pre-war Limerick. The film opens with the family in Brooklyn, but following the death of one of Frankie's siblings, they return home, only to find the situation there even worse. Prejudice against Frankie's Northern Irish father makes his search for employment in the Republic difficult despite his having fought for the IRA, and when he does find money, he spends the money on drink.

Graines d'etoiles. 2013.

Graines d'etoiles. 2013.
 The 300-year old Paris Opera Ballet School is today a mythical place with an international reputation. In September 2011, it was home to 130 pupils, aged from 8 to 18, all driven by the same desire – to dance one day at the Paris Opera.
Our camera was allowed to accompany them for a whole school year. The characters are: the younger students, who are amazingly determined for their age; the older students, who, at the age of 16, are already professional dancers; their teachers, who are often principal dancers; and all those who watch over this very singular world.
Six episodes x 26 minutes:
1 - La rentree.
2 - Au travail!
3 - Les progres.
4 - Un monde a part.
5 - En scene.
6 - Le temps des epreuves.

Demi-Tarif. 2003.

В полцены / Demi-Tarif. 2003.

Actress Isild Le Besco (Girls Can't Swim) makes her feature debut as a director with Demi-Tarif (Half-Price). The movie, shot on digital video on a miniscule budget, garnered attention in its native France after renowned filmmaker Chris Marker compared the experience of seeing it to the experience he and his friends had upon seeing Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless for the first time. Demi-Tarif follows the low-key adventures of three young siblings, Romeo (Kolia Litscher), Launa (Lila Salet), and the youngest, Leo (Cindy David), left on their own in a rundown Paris apartment. One of them narrates, wistfully explaining how their mother abandoned them and calls them once in a while to see how they are doing or tell them she loves them. The three kids do as they please, roaming the streets, running out of restaurants without paying for food, and shoplifting from the local grocery store. They eat whatever and whenever they want, gorging themselves on sweets. They beg for change on the Metro and show up late for school in tattered, dirty clothes. All the while, they try to keep the fact that they are alone a secret from the world of adults. Demi-Tarif had its U.S. premiere at the 2004 Tribeca Film Festival.

The film centres around a panel; Inge and Sten Hegeler, Maj-Brith Bergstroem-Walan and Sture Cullhed, all well known, reputable experts, who have devoted their scientific studies to the various fields of sexual life. The film deals with all kinds of problems connected with the sexual relationship of people. Whilst every question is discussed by the panel., the film illustrates; the difference between male and female sexual organs and their functions, positions, and authentic coition whereby a split screen system is used enabling us to see the various reactions in different parts of the body. In connection with this as well as in other parts of the film, diagrams and animations are used to simplify the understanding of the complicated reactions which occur when a person is under sexual stimulus. The panel also discusses the role os sex in society, the...

 The third film of the trilogy "The Language of Love".
A group of experts discuss sex and relations. Different couples demonstrate and have sex in various ways under guidance of a sex therapist. The famous Swedish lawyer Leif Silbersky talks about rape and how to interpret the law on sexual abuse.
This `movie' is a really good way to find out just how sick the early seventies really was and it will also give you an excellent insight into the `Swedish sin'. The part with the communistic collective and their sex habits and partner swapping is extremely amusing! This is the third and last in the `Love' series.
