in collaboration with Groupe d’Animation de Florissant (GAF), Let’s Doc!, Les Mondes Pliés
The event
Looking is never a neutral act. As part of Let’s Doc!, five Swiss and Brazilian documentary shorts explore the ways we observe and tell the world. Art, sport, the body, intimacy and the diversity of living beings intersect to question how we look at others and at what surrounds us.
The films
Bastien Genoux
At 98, a mischievous gaze looks back on decades of creation: frescoes, mosaics and stained-glass works scattered across French-speaking Switzerland, paintings, clothing… a remarkable body of work that is still growing. As he says: “At my age, I mustn’t stop having fun!”
Fire Mouth
Luciano Pérez Fernández
In the Brazilian city of Salgueiro, sun-scorched spectators in the stands watch a football match. The players themselves seem to slow under the oppressive heat. But an epic battle blazes across the radio waves. A thunderous, remarkably eloquent voice brings the game to life through metaphors and alliteration: Boca de Fogo, Pernambuco’s fastest commentator.
Morgane Frund
An amateur filmmaker has filmed bears for years. He contacts a film school looking for someone to edit a film from his footage. A student answers the call. But while digitizing the tapes, she discovers that there are more than bears on them. This raises questions about the power of the gaze and its voyeuristic violence.
Flesh
Camila Kater
Rare, medium rare, medium, well done and very well done. Through intimate and personal accounts, five women share their experiences of their bodies from childhood to old age.
Marcel Barelli
In nature, a couple is a male and a female. Well, not always! A couple can also be a female and a female, or a male and a male. You may not know it, but homosexuality is not uniquely human.
Durée : 60’
The Le Renversé team facilitates a conversation with the audience around the questions raised by the programme.
