Le cadeau, suivi de La couleur de la grenade

Description


********** Français **********

19h - Le Cadeau
On suit quatre femmes sur le chemin qui les a conduites à la pratique du youyou ou zaghareed, ces cris de joie et d’émotion que poussent les femmes dans les pays d’Afrique du Nord et d’Asie de l’Ouest.
Le yodel est une métaphore de la voix qui se casse, grince et tremblote, au carrefour entre virtuosité et vulnérabilité. Dans Le cadeau, leurs histoires trouvent un aboutissement dans une performance collective du groupe bruxellois YOUYOU. Du haut des toits de Bruxelles, de leurs voix puissantes, elles lancent leur chant sur la ville comme l’on jette un sortilège.

Réalisatrice : Myriam van Imschoot
Durée : 48’

21h - La couleur de la Grenade
Privilégiant la poésie visuelle aux dialogues, La couleur de la Grenade est une exploration de la vie et de l’œuvre du poète Sayat Nova.
Sayat Nova était un troubadour arménien du 18e siècle, vénéré aujourd’hui et qui influença, profondément, poètes arméniens, russes et européens à partir du 20e siècle.
Les fragments de vie du poète ressurgissent, de son enfance parmi les livres à ses premiers émois adolescents, jusqu’à son exil. Pas de récit à proprement parler, mais une suite de tableaux, entre contemplation et surréalisme, fragments poétiques et fulgurances mystiques. Ici, la vie de l’homme évoque aussi l’art et les splendeurs de son pays.

Date de sortie initiale : octobre 1969
Réalisateur : Sergueï Paradjanov
Scénario : Sergueï Paradjanov
Langues : Géorgien, Arménien, Azerbaïdjanais
Durée : 1h19

Soirée présentée en collaboration avec le Service de Culture Cinématographique.

19:00h - Le Cadeau
We follow four women along a path which leads them towards the practice of the Youyou or the Zagharit, a cry of joy and emotion practiced by women in North Africa and the Middle East.
This kind of chant is a metaphor for a voice that breaks, creaks, and trembles at the intersection between virtuosity and vulnerability. In this documentary, their stories culminate in a collective performance by the Brussels Youyou group. From the rooftops of Brussels, their powerful voices cast their song over the city like a spell.

21:00 - La couleur de la Grenade
Using visual poetry instead of dialogue, The Colour of Pomegranates explores the life and work of the poet Sayat Nova. Sayat Nova was an 18th century Armenian troubadour who is revered still today for his profound influence on Armenian, Russian, and European poets from the 20th century onwards.
Fragments of the poet’s life are reanimated, from his childhood amongst books, his first teenage romances, right up to his exile. This is not a narrative as such, but a series of painting, somewhere between contemplation and surrealism, flashes of poetry and some of mystery, intertwined with the art and splendours of his country.
Date of initial release: October 1969

With the emergence of new subscription-based adult platforms such as OnlyFans or MYM, it has become easier to create and sell adult content yourself from a simple computer or smartphone. This content can range from the softest nude photos to the most explicit pornographic videos." Remote Sex Work " is a documentary that gives a voice to online sex workers by following them through their daily lives, showing what goes on behind the scenes.We discover that adult platforms can be a space for creativity and bodily expression, in which many people thrive on a daily basis and develop new professional skills that extend far beyond what the general public imagines.Whether you've chosen this profession out of passion or convenience, telecommuting sex, like many other solitary and independent professions, brings with it joys and successes, and empowerment... But it also brings burn-out, isolation, alienation from the other person's gaze, pressure to perform and money - itself reinforced by the stigma and censorship suffered on the Internet.

In this new, surreal world of customizing sexual desires, one is left to question why they have been programmed to accept the bare minimum of their deepest desires in the first place! PERFECT FLOWERS OF THE SCUM GENERATION Wilde Davis / USA / 2023 / 18min / OV EN ST FR / Belgian Premiere Inspired by their putrid desire for this butch hustler named Hollywood, this queer triptych follows a clan of revolutionary femmes as they are driven to righteous violence.
