Corneliu Porumboiu: Football Infinite

Here comes the website description of this original Romanian documentary, so precise that there is no reason for me to add anything, after that my thoughts about the film:

They talk about the beautiful game, but for Laurențiu Ginghină, it’s not enough. Football must be modified, streamlined, freed from restraints; corners are to be rounded off, players assigned to zones and subteams, norms revised. In retrospect, he first realized that the rules of football were wrong when he was tackled during a game in his youth, in the summer holidays, on another pitch now covered in snow, but in Vaslui, not Bucharest. The tackle hit so hard it fractured his fibula, a year later his tibia broke too, on New Year’s Eve 1987, he had to walk home in the snow and no one helped him. Today he’s a local bureaucrat with an uninspiring job, it’s no wonder he prefers to talk about the game, his own version of it, to Porumboiu, his friend, the director, who’s always listening, asking questions, nearly always in frame. Ginghină’s monologues

are so rich you might think someone wrote them in advance, they proceed from the same old subject, but never stay in one place. All roads lead to football, but all roads lead away from it too, to land ownership issues, to orange farms in Florida, to political utopia and the traces left by life, to version 2.0, 3.1, 4.7, to infinity…

In the conversations with the director Ginghină compares himself to Superman and other superheroes, who lead double lives – as he does in his non-working hours, ”I revolutionise sports”, he is seeking a way to ”free the ball” including to get rid of the off-side rule. His suggestions are not welcomed by a football coach when they are tested in a sports hall, but Ginghină has new ideas. It’s not in the film but I remember Johan Cruyff saying to his players in Barcelona, ”remember that the ball never gets tired”. They should have met…

Anyway this is NOT about football, it is about a man searching for a good life, a man who has been met with obstacles, a man who knows Greek mythology, a dreamer living in a country with obstacles, a sympathetic man who was fascinated with Romania entering the EU, but disappointed today: where is the European identity… An amazing scene in the film takes place in the boring office, where Ginghină works. A man comes in with an old woman, 92 years old, who wants on paper that she is the righful owner of her land. Ginghină tries to find the person who is in charge of this area in the municipality office, he succeeds and gets to know that the application papers have been sent to Bucharest. Porumboiu, the director, has this comment, on camera: ”27 years after the revolution and she has not got her land back!”.

Towards the end of the film the father of Ginghină steps into the film and we see on a photo that Ginghină has been married without getting to know what happened with her and the marriage?

A gentle philosophical essay on passion and freedom, light in tone, yet deep in content.

Agnès Varda & JR: Faces Places

The title in French is Visages Villages – more precise than the English one, as it is mostly villages the two artists visit to meet locals, take their photos, make them grand format, large scale and paste them on big walls. The name of the mobile photo booth of JR is Inside Out Project – a project it is, that the two perform and the result is the creation of a charming and warm meeting between the two of them – she 88 and he 33 – who travel to make homage to people they meet, and to places that are abandoned in the French countryside.

There is the touching sequence from the former mining town, where only one woman lives. Varda and JR put photos from the good mining times on the walls, of miners, and of the lonely woman, who is touched to see herself in that scale.

Each photo tells a story, says Varda, who as a true documentarian declares in the beginning of the film in her home/studio in Rue Daguerre in Paris that ”chance has always been my best assistant”, so let’s go. And they do and invite the audience to meet farmers, goats with and without horns, lots of cats, she is a cat lover Varda, dockworkers and their wives, a postman who is no longer coming by bike and many others.

But the film also turns its perspective towards Varda, who remembers, goes to the tiny graveyard where Henri Cartier-Bresson is buried, to Normandy where she took photos of the photographer Guy Bourdin, we are with her to the eye doctor, which is no problem for her – cut to Bunuel and his ”Un Chien Andalou” – and she wants to honour Jean-Luc Godard and make JR take off his dark glasses as she made Godard do in a short film from 1961.

This review is written with a smile on the face, I have just seen a playful essayistic documentary by a master, masterly co-directed by JR, who as Varda says is very good with old people – together they go to his grandmother, who is over 100 years old.

Democrats Ban Lifted in Zimbabwe

This text is taken from the newsletter that came out some days ago from Doc Society with the headline “Victory for Freedom of Speech in Zimbabwe”:

We’ve just heard great news that in a groundbreaking court order, Zimbabwean High Court Judge Justice Muremba has lifted the ban on the internationally acclaimed documentary Democrats . The award-winning film chronicles Zimbabwe’s writing of its first democratic constitution during 2010-2013. In the photo is Democrats director Camilla Nielsson with Chris Mhike, from Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights, and MP Brian Chuma.
Bertha grantee and Good Pitch Europe alumni Camilla Nielsson had full access to the political process behind the 2013 constitution-making, led by a Parliamentary Constitutional Committee. After her resulting film, Democrats, was released in 2014, it toured the world to win more than 30 international awards for its honest fly-on-the wall account of how Zimbabweans from across the political divide worked together to produce a progressive democratic constitution. The New York Times called the film “Outstanding, urgent, vivid. Finally a film that deserves to be called necessary.” Zimbabweans, however, were not allowed to see the film as the Censorship Board banned it as “Not suitable for public viewing.”

The case was argued by human rights lawyer Bellinda Chinowawa, who called the High Court order: “A great victory for all Zimbabweans” which will assist in expanding media freedom in Zimbabwe – as intended in the Constitution. Camilla Nielsson said: “After a 3-year delay, we can now finally distribute the film in the country where it was made.”

CPH:DOX 2018/ Intro

Well, how can I introduce the 15th edition of CPH:DOX that takes place March 15-25, with a programme that was launched yesterday? It’s impossible to give you the full picture of such a huge event, an hommage to the documentary genre.

The best for you is of course to make you check it yourself on one of the links below… More than 200 films with more than 100 being premieres with visiting directors. And an industry section with information on a forum for projects to be pitched, another forum dedicated to science documentaries, a conference on film related themes, training, the doc-lab, VR etc. etc.

It is overwhelming, you can spend a lot of time surfing on the internet links offered to you to try to find out where and what to do!

Profile? The best to get closer to that is maybe to quote the loglines for each of the competition programmes:

DOX:AWARD is our international main competition for the best and brighest in contemporary filmmaking. The F:ACT Award is dedicated to auteur filmmaking in the field between research-based, investigative journalism, activism and cinema. The Nordic:Dox Award is a selection of the best and brightest in cinema from the Nordic countries.

The New:Vision Award is dedicated to artists’ films in the field between documentary and visual art. Take a walk on the wild side! Our brand new Next:Wave Award is dedicated to emerging filmmakers with the courage to take chances.

Films nominated for the Politiken Audience Award in support of artistic freedom.

It’s difficult to disagree with what is in bold – auteur filmmaking, thanks for putting these words in to give a historical perspective and stress the personal and that documentary is an art form.

Veronika Kaserer: Überall Wo Wir Sind

– with the English title “Everywhere We Are” has this catalogue description:

Heiko, 29, is a fun-loving dance teacher from Berlin. For the past seven years he has battled with a fatal illness. Just when his family and his friends had begun to get used to Heiko’s continued survival in spite of all the prognoses, he receives the diagnosis that he does not have much longer to live. He decides to return to his parents’ house to die. But even now, Heiko and especially his father, Jürgen, refuse to give up hoping for a miracle. His mother, Karin, on the other hand tries to prepare him for what is to come. She would like to tell her son about her own near-death experience but can’t seem to find the right moment. Day and night, so many of Heiko’s friends and relatives come to the house to spend time at his bedside, wanting to be near him again, to cry, but also to laugh together. Heiko’s sister preoccupies herself with the organisational side of things and tries to hold up by keeping her distance. The ways in which all of these people cope with loss and grief are as diverse as they are.

Zalmanson-Kuznetsov:Operation Wedding

Master of documentary film Herz Frank made in 1989 “There were Seven Simeons”, a film that deals with a famous jazz family, who during Soviet time hijacked a plane to get out of the USSR.

They were not the only ones as shows the fine first film of Anat Zalmanson-Kuznetsov, “Operation Wedding”. The director tells the dramatic story about her parents, who were part of a group of Russian Jews who planned to kidnap a plane and get out of the USSR. From Leningrad. In 1970. They were arrested before getting into the plane, the parents were sentenced to be sent to Siberia (the mother) and the father got death penalty.

The daughter/director tells the story by talking to them in their homes in Israel and by going with the mother to Leningrad, now St. Petersburg, and to the disgusting prison in Riga, where she was before being sent to the Gulag.

Archive material are introduced that reveal how international protests freed them – Golda Meir played an important role in an exchange deal with the Soviets – and – very interesting – there are clips from recent Russian propaganda tv shows, where the parents and the other members of the group are characterised as “terrorists”. The last of these “documentary fairy tales” as the father calls them was made in 2010.

The film is emotionally strong first of all because of the mother whereas the charismatic father is the one who comes up with the sarchastic analytical comments, while he is pouring another good glass of vodka.    

The film will be screened as Documentary of the Month at
the Cinemateket in Copenhagen February 20 – March 2. In a
collaboration with Copenhagen Jewish Film Festival.

Israel, Latvia, 2016, 63 mins.

PABLO IRABURU OG MIGUELTXO MOLINA: WALLS

The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 raised hopes of a world with no more concrete borders dividing populations. But today we see the exact opposite, and walls have been erected all over the world to set the boundaries between poverty and prosperity. On the U.S.-Mexican border, we meet a Vietnam vet placing crosses where Mexicans lost their lives trying to find a better life. On the other side, a Mexican couple is waiting for the right moment to attempt a climb over. A sentry patrols the banks of the Limpopo River along the border of Zimbabwe and South Africa, where many refugees drown trying to cross. At the Moroccan-Spanish border, we see a woman carrying huge packages on her back. The border scenes flow effortlessly into one another. Directors Pablo Iraburu and Migueltxo Molina add new meaning by placing the tableaux in split-screen compositions such as a Mexican tunnel placed beneath an African baobab. Meanwhile, a voice-over explaining the situation in Mexico accompanies scenes from the Moroccan border. The countless partitions all over the world form a universal problem.

KOMMENTAR

Jeg har disse dage når jeg fulgte den flittige lancering af arrangementerne i Docs & Talks festivalen været så mærkelig optaget af dette still med de to unge ved hegnet, tænkt over det, hver gang jeg så det. Jeg havde ikke egentlig ondt af dem, for deres gensidige energi og målrettethed så jeg eller digtede jeg, var jeg i hvert fald sikker på. De forblev mine udtryksfulde og sikre helte.

Og nu har jeg så set filmen og forstået, at hver scene med de to netop er fyldt med deres kræfter og hengivenhed for hinanden. Og jeg skriver så nu en blogpost så godt jeg kan om Walls og om, at denne scene ved hegnet er selve sindbilledet på ømhed mellem de to, som hjælper hinanden. Han løfter hende op på sine skuldre, hvor hun balancerer ung og adræt og fuld af tillid, og så er de dobbelt så høje og erfarne. På en måde hver for sig, da de begge nu ved, hvad hun ser fra den højde: kameraer og vagttårne, som de skal undgå, men også muligheder, som de kan slippe igennem, klatre over. Mulige gennemgange, som de kan undersøge nærmere.

Så meget kærlighed udtrykt ved at lave kaffe til sin kone, så meget kærlighed i taknemmeligheden, i at tage imod kaffen, som hun viser, som hendes udtryksfulde krop fortæller i hvert billede, i hver scene i de tos historie, som i afbrudte små kapitler fortælles gennem filmen. Historien om det unge pars rejse til muren er, som jeg nu ser det selve billedet på godhed. De to som hjælper hinanden og deres fortælling er en legende, ikke en middelalderlig om helgener, men en langt senere fra min barndom: ”Der venter dem en syvdobbelt død, tænkte palmen. Løverne vil sluge dem, slangerne stikke dem, tørsten fortære dem, sandstormen begrave dem, røverne ihjelslå dem, solstik opbrænde dem, angsten tilintetgøre dem.” (Selma Lagerlöf)

Sådanne brudstykker af handlinger gennemvæver filmens parallelle fortællelinjer, som i klippet fortsætter hinanden, kommenterer hinanden, belyser hinanden, vel i samme tid, men på forskellige steder, ja, i flere verdensdele, på begge sider af stedernes ufattelige, ja, jeg griber mig i at tro det da må være løgn, men nej, rent ud ufattelige grænsemure og pigtrådsspæringer. Og så forunderligt, på begge sider af grænserne alle stederne opfører virkeligheden dramaer om den brutale virkelighed belyst ved den medfølende ømhed. Blandt mennesker, som lever i den samme egn, men adskilt af fjerne magthaveres begrænsninger af deres liv.

Der instuderes en teaterforestilling under det solitære træ midt på savannen, stykket forbereder i humorens distance, i dilettantgenrens velkendthed voldtægten af kvinden, denne voksne handling, hvis gru ikke kan mimes foran børnene, der som tilskuere morer sig over de voksnes forestilling, som forekommer dem at være en leg. På den anden side af en befæstet grænse et andet sted i verden, men måske samme dag, vandrer to alvorlige hvide mænd oppe i årene. De stiller dunke med frisk vand ud i ørkenen, hvor ellers ingen palme ville bøje sig med saftige dadler til de rejsende på dødsens farlig færd. Et tredje sted står en veteran fra krigen i sit værksted og laver gravkors som kunstværker, som han bagefter placerer, hvor et menneske omkom under rejsen. Den venlige og ordentlige grænsebetjent et fjerde sted i verden har anholdt to migranter et forbudt sted, forklarer dem, at han ikke vil se dem der mere, men sender dem ikke videre i ørkenens visse død, sætter dem bag i sin pick-up og kører dem tilbage til beboet område.

Altså at spille dilettant under træet, at stille dunke med frisk vand ud i ørkenen, at være venlig og ordentlig, men fast i mælet som grænsebetjent, tableauer af grusomheden og godheden, begge til stede på begge sider af grænsen. Filmen har foræret mig en række billeder som prægnante altid vil dukke op når jeg læser om grænsemure og hegn. Jeg forstår det sådan, at migranterne må vælge de mest øde og ufarbare ruter til rejsen og der er det mere naturen end grænsevagterne, som er deres udfordring, naturen er uden nåde, den er den farligste for dem.

Iscenesættelsen og fotograferingen i disse skildringer, ja, vel især kameraarbejdet er aldeles flot og uden overdrivelser, men måske også uden egentlig kant, men uangribeligt konventionelt akademisk som det er nødvendigt for en så bred henvendelse til et stort internationalt publikum. Mange vil kunne lide det, fremhæve det, beundre det, og således hænger det nøje sammen med filmens sympatiske propaganda, som er forbilledlig som de medvirkendes handlinger, som kamerafolkene skildrer som ét stort moralsk sindbillede. Til eftertanke. Som en nutidens Legenda Auria. Til efterfølgelse.

TXALAPARTA

Tue Steen Müller skriver i dag denne vigtige kommentar og fine erindring på sin Facebookside: “I fell in love with these Basque filmmakers many years ago at the Magnificent7 festival in Belgrade 2008 and later in Damascus at the DoxBox – both places they showed ”Nomadak”, a music documentary with a global humanistic point of view. The film is about the music instrument from their country, the txalaparta, that they take around the world to create music with locals. In Belgrade we had a concert before the film, one of memorable moments in my documentary film life. Now their film film ”Walls” (”Muros”) is part of the Docs and Talks festival and will be shown in Copenhagen and Aarhus followed by a debate about the many borders we humans set up in the world. One of the creators behind the film pays hommage to the collaboration between the two companies, one situated in Pamplona, the other in San Sebastian: ”Making movies is like playing the txalaparta. It’s a dialogue, it’s a two-person thing. Arena and Txalap.art have created together for a long time. Listening to our txalaparta in the end credits reminds us that we still share the same passion for telling stories with a purpose…”

RESUMÉ / DEBAT

Walls er en visuelt stærk film, der zoomer ind på de mure, der skærer sig igennem landskabet rundt omkring i verden, og på nogle af de menneskeskæbner, der udfolder sig omkring dem. Filmen udforsker grænseovergangene mellem Mexico og USA, Marokko og Spanien samt Zimbabwe og Sydafrika ved at sidestille historierne om dem, der befinder sig på den ene side, og dem på den anden side.

Filmens klare budskab er, at mennesker uden for murene og dem indenfor har mere tilfælles, end de tror. I EU, Trumps USA, Afrika, Mellemøsten og Asien skyder flere og flere grænsemure og hegn op, selv om den politiske vision efter Berlinmurens fald var en verden med færre grænsehegn.

Hvordan er grænser i stigende grad blevet svaret på en global verdens problemer? Hvem tjener penge på dem? Hvad er konsekvensen globalt og i de lokale grænseområder? Efter filmen debatterer migrationsforskerne Ninna Nyberg Sørensen (DIIS), Gabriella Sanchez (EUI) og Martin Lemberg-Pedersen (AAU) implikationerne af den nye globale grænsevirkelighed. Debatten foregår på engelsk. (Docs & Talks’ program)

Cineuropa Interviews EDN’s Paul Pauwels

Cineuropa is a good source if you want to know, what happens in the film world. In the latest edition of the newsletter you will find a brief but informative interview with EDN director Paul Pauwels, who talks about the Media and Society initiative that he and the organisation has launched, including meetings with professionals – next week one is announced at the European Film Market of the Berlinale. I steal a quote from the interview, link to the whole text below:

PP: For 20 years, EDN has been supporting the European documentary sector, and I dare say that we have done this very successfully. However, digital technology has allowed new players to enter the market, and this has turned the power structures within the media environment around. The result is that the “old” business model has been disrupted; the model that for decades has allowed independent documentary producers and directors to contribute in a significant way to the European media landscape. Increasingly, we have noticed that the model that worked so well in the past is now being challenged, and the position of the independent creative documentary is under pressure. This is happening at a time when the media’s influence on the audience’s thoughts, values and behaviour is stronger than ever. We are experiencing a paradigm shift that forces us to reflect on how to protect the position of the independent documentary in a global, mediatised society. EDN is not impervious to this challenge: we, too, have to think about the needs of our community and how best to serve it. We are convinced that we can only successfully protect the interests of the independent European documentary community if we have accurate facts and figures at our disposal, something that our community has never been good at providing. Taking stock of the current situation of the European documentary environment and preparing to defend its position within the European audiovisual landscape are what made us decide to launch Media & Society.

ZagrebDox 2018 Program Ready

It’s the 14th edition of ZagrebDox that starts in the Croatian capital February 25th to run until March 4. And it is as usual well edited, the best of the best for the audience, with an international and a regional competition, and under the umbrella “Official Program” biographies, music documentaries, “happy dox” (seven this year out of 125 films!) and a masters program with films by Claude Lanzmann (“Napalm”, that I have not seen), Alex Gibney (“No Stone Unturned”, not seen), Joe Berlinger (“Intent to Destroy”, seen, good), Erik Gandini (“The Rebel Surgeon”, good, but is Gandini a master, sorry!) and Frederick Wiseman’s masterpiece “Ex Libris – the New York Public Library” – Wiseman who recently published that all his films will be available through an online service. Bravo! More sections can be discovered on the fine website of the festival that provides you with trailers to watch.

1386 films came in for consideration, 125 were taken, 21 of them for the

international competition, where it is a joy to see that the festival includes short films like the Belorussian director Aliaksei Paluyan’s “Country of Women” that charmed me at DOK Leipzig this year. A fine tribute to a young talent. It is reviewed on this site. As are of course Ai WeiWei’s “Human Flow”, Talal Derki’s “Of Fathers and Sons”, Marta Prus “Over the Limit”, Simon Lereng Wilmont’s “The Distant Barking of Dogs” and Arunas Matelis “Wonderful Losers: A Different World”.

From a Danish perspective nice to see that films praised by colleague Allan Berg in his Danish language reviews, “The Stranger” (“En fremmed flytter ind”) by Nicole Nielsen Horanyi is there as are Eva Mulvad’s “A Modern Man” and “Big Time” by Kaspar Astrup Schrøder about the Danish architect Bjarke Ingels.

I could go on with the name-dropping – and I do so with some fine titles from the Regional competition: of course the IDFA winner, Serbian Mila Turajlic’s “The Other Side of Everything” is there together with “A Woman Captured”, the shocking Hungarian film about modern slavery by Bernadett Tuza-Ritter and the charming Macedonian “Avec l’Amour” by Ilija Cvetkovski and Atanas Georgiev, not to forget the extraordinary “In Praise of Nothing” by Boris Mitic.

Masterclasses with Claude Lanzmann and Talal Derki… of course! And the ZagrebDox Pro with Leena Pasanen and Stefano Tealdi continues to be a strong element in the festival. Summing up. No objections!
