Cinéma en Atelier #1

Go back

First screening of Ciné-club Cinéma en Atelier, dedicated to movies that were developed in production workshops organised by the Féderation Wallonie-Bruxelles. SIC (Sound Image Culture) selects the films that are presented. 

"The Yellow Mazda and His Holiness" by Sandra Heremans (13')
A conceptual experiment on what it means to start a film with a black image, develops into a subtle personal essay about the filmmaker. The story of a missionary falling in love with a Rwandese girl, blends with what images and colonial history mean to their daughter.

"SAINTS'GAME" by Amélie derlon Cordina (50')
There are periods of strong awareness of sacred, and periods of desecration. The film begins with the image - and began in its process - by my own obsession with iconic representations, especially those of the Christian saints. At the turn of this work, while the actors replay scenes symbolizing saints, I question them about their attempts and willingness to break with their own cultural and religious heritage.
