A critical text by Jorge Yglesias on Roy Andersson's film «About Endlessness», read by Amy Lombardi and edited by Lena von Tscharner. [...] To take a look at some historical events and the banality of everyday life and mix them displaying a sense of humour that flirts with the uncanny as Andersson does, is one of the most outstanding feats of contemporary cinema, the evidence that Artifice is the best way to represent the Real.
A critical text by Giuseppe Di Salvatore on Mischa Hedinger's film «African Mirror», read by Amy Lombardi and edited by Jorge Cadena. [...] Mischa Hedinger's journey into Gardi's powerful imagination is not only a political journey into our relationship with Africa, but also a journey throughout filmmaking and its political consequences.
A critical text by Laura Davis on Petra Costa's film «Elena», read by Amy Lombardi and edited by Lena von Tscharner. [...] The filmmaker embodies and thereby reanimates Elena. It is in this way her camera enables us access to reality without entirely carving out the insides of the first person...
A critical text by Giuseppe Di Salvatore on Wang Xiaoshuai's film «So Long, My Son», read by Amy Lombardi and edited by Jorge Cadena. [...] The epic tonality of the tale does not find its accomplishment in glory or victory, but in piety. In its exclamative climax we feel the breath of humanism.
Two critical texts by Jorge Yglesias and Giuseppe Di Salvatore on Sergei Loznitsa's film «State Funeral», read by Amy Lombardi and edited by Lena von Tscharner. [...] Turning propaganda material in a work of art, he demolishes the ideology that pervades the documents he´s dealing with.
A critical texts by Laura Davis and a commentary by Giuseppe Di Salvatore on Kamal Aljafari's film «Unusual Summer», read by Amy Lombardi and edited by Lena von Tscharner. [...] The unsteady relation between viewer and subject in favour of the trust between viewer and narrator speaks to the short-sightedness of state surveillance measures, our reliance on which is increasing day by day mid-pandemic.
A critical text by Pamela Jahn on Bong Joon-ho's film «Parasite», read by Amy Lombardi and edited by Jorge Cadena. [...] Even though the film has increasingly dark undertones of social inequality in modern Korea, the main protagonists bring about a sort of melancholy hope for humanity wrapped in a fine shroud of mystery, shrewd charm and outbursts of violence, and accompanied by a brilliant score by Jaeil Jung that adds yet another layer to the rich fabric of the film.
A critical text by Jodie McNeilly-Renaudie on Alejandra Márquez Abella's film «Las niñas bien», read by Amy Lombardi and edited by Jorge Cadena. [...] There are many semiotically rich gestures in décor, costume, behaviour and dialogue like these from Abella that permit us to paradoxically see the depth of shallowness in this character that we simultaneously admire and loathe.
