Description


*** Français ***

Un opéra documentaire présentant la vie contradictoire du compositeur progressiste et éminent communiste Jan Kapr (1914-88), lauréat du prix Staline, plus tard interdit en Tchécoslovaquie socialiste. Alors que la vie de Kapr évolue vers des moments charnières, nous suivons des chants d'opéra qui reflètent ces moments cruciaux de la vie, ceux qui déterminent le destin d'un artiste. Le film explore la nature de la mémoire et de la narration, en utilisant les films amateurs personnels de Kapr, jamais vus auparavant, qui témoignent de son humour, de ses luttes intérieures et de son désir de laisser des traces pour l'éternité. Cineflagey by Cinematek & Kinograph, Festival "En Ville" € 8 > € 6


*** Nederlands ***

Een documentaire opera over het tegenstrijdige leven van de progressieve componist en vooraanstaande communist Jan Kapr (1914-88), winnaar van de Stalinprijs, later verboden in het socialistische Tsjecho-Slowakije. Terwijl het leven van Kapr evolueert naar scharniermomenten, volgen we operanummers die die cruciale momenten in het leven weerspiegelen, de momenten die het lot van een artiest bepalen. De film verkent de aard van het geheugen en het verhaal, aan de hand van nooit eerder vertoonde persoonlijke home movies van Kapr, die getuigen van zijn humor, zijn innerlijke strijd en zijn verlangen om voor de eeuwigheid sporen na te laten. Cineflagey by Cinematek & Kinograph, Festival "En Ville" € 8 > € 6

********** English ********** No one flees for fun. Ali is 12 years old when he leaves Somalia. He travels the dangerous road from the Horn of Africa to the heart of Europe. Along the way, friendships are made despite the hardships and hope is found amidst the horror. Ali has to cross several countries, a desert and the Mediterranean along with hundreds of migrants seeking a better future. He arrives at the Brussels South railway station in 2019, alone, without knowing a word of French or Dutch. He is 14 years old …   This incredible epic is the true story of Ali Abdi Omar, adapted for the opera in collaboration with Ali himself. This moving creation reconstructs all the stages of his journey. A sensory experience where electronic music, voice, string and wind instruments, percussion and dance pay a vibrant tribute to the resilience of a young boy forced, like so many others, to leave his family and home in order to survive.  This production is part of TROIKA DIVERSITY ********** Français ********** Nul ne fuit par plaisir. Ali a douze ans quand il quitte la Somalie. Il emprunte la dangereuse route qui mène de la Corne de l’Afrique au cœur de l’Europe. En chemin, des amitiés se lient malgré les épreuves, l’espoir côtoie l’horreur. Il lui faut traverser plusieurs pays, un désert et la Méditerranée, au milieu de centaines de migrants en quête d’un avenir meilleur. Quand il arrive, seul, à la gare de Bruxelles-Midi en 2019, ne connaissant pas un mot de français ni de néerlandais, il a quatorze ans…   Cette épopée est l’histoire vraie d’Ali Abdi Omar, adaptée en opéra par les compositeurs Grey Filastine, Walid Ben Selim et Brent Arnold, et par le metteur en scène Ricard Soler Mallol. Réalisée en collaboration avec Ali lui-même, cette création reconstruit avec émotion toutes les étapes de son voyage. Une expérience sensorielle où musique électronique, voix, instruments à cordes et à vents, percussions et danse rendent un vibrant hommage à la résilience d’un jeune garçon forcé, comme tant d’autres, de quitter sa famille et son foyer pour survivre.  Cette production fait partie de TROIKA DIVERSITY ********** Nederlands ********** Niemand slaat voor zijn plezier op de vlucht. Ali is twaalf als hij uit Somalië vertrekt en de gevaarlijke reis van de Hoorn van Afrika tot hartje Europa aanvat. Hij doorkruist een hele reeks landen, de woestijn en de Middellandse Zee, tussen honderden migranten die ook op zoek zijn naar een betere toekomst. Onderweg smeedt hij, ondanks de beproevingen, vriendschappen en vindt hij te midden van de verschrikking ook hoop. Hij komt in 2019 aan in het station Brussel-Zuid, helemaal alleen, zonder een woord Frans of Nederlands te kunnen. Hij is dan veertien... Het waargebeurde verhaal van Ali Abdi Omar komt nu tot leven in een nieuwe opera, gecreëerd in nauwe samenwerking met Ali zelf. Een zintuiglijke ervaring waarin elektronische muziek, stem, snaar- en blaasinstrumenten, percussie en dans een aangrijpend eerbetoon brengen aan de veerkracht van een tiener die, zoals zovele lotgenoten, zijn familie en zijn thuis moest achterlaten om te overleven. Deze voorstelling maakt deel uit van TROIKA DIVERSITY
********** English ********** Nothing is what it seems at the old English country house Bly. When a new governess takes up her position, she is told never to leave the children alone! The shocking confrontation with the ghosts of her predecessor and a certain Peter Quint soon makes it clear to her why. As protecting the children becomes increasingly difficult, disturbing questions arise: What horrible acts took place before her arrival? How innocent are the children? And are you really seeing what’s before your eyes?  Drawing on Henry James’s intriguing ghost story, Benjamin Britten composed a psychological thriller in chamber opera format with The Turn of the Screw.

From the makers of GAZA (Sundance 2019), comes a new cinematic odyssey that penetrates deep below the surface of Beirut, a still beautiful, yet deeply troubled city on the brink of financial collapse. In Sabra, one of Beirut’s toughest urban slums, sectarianism and violence is a permanent way of life. Rabia, a 38-year-old hardworking but undocumented Lebanese mother cannot afford to admit her chronically ill daughter to hospital, leaving the life of her innocent child hanging in the balance. In the Shadow of Beirut weaves four compelling storylines together in a searing portrait of a people and a city struggling to survive amidst some of the most difficult living conditions imaginable. In this failing state, it is the vulnerable who suffer most. Through intimate, character driven and cinematic storytelling, the stark reality of life for the protagonists of the film is symbolic of the hundreds of thousands of others who fight for survival in the most diverse country in the Middle East, which has the highest per capita refugee numbers in the world. This is a nation suffering one of the worst global financial meltdowns on record, a country and a city that many now are trying desperately to flee. Despite the inhumane conditions and enormous challenges, the areas’ inhabitants possess unfathomable reserves of resilience and even hope, as they go about their daily lives in the struggle to forge a brighter future for their families.
Ó Bhéal is a cinematic exploration of the rise of Hip Hop and Electronic artists in Ireland embracing oral traditions of folklore, ancient poetry and sean nós singing to create a new fusion sound, a culture clash through music. An ensemble piece, featuring Irish language rappers Mory and Oisín Mac, producer and multi-instrumentalist Fehdah, and Limerick rapper Strange Boy. This beautiful black & white film delves deep into these four artists’ process and how they are breaking new ground in Irish music. Ó Bhéal shines a light on a modern musical movement in Ireland. The Hip Hop scene in this country is vibrant and far reaching. But for many years the scene has focussed on a derived version of Hip Hop that is drawn from American and British styles and subject matter. This film captures a moment in time in which authentically Irish Hip Hop is emerging as a unique, vital sub-genre that is growing in popularity. It reveals how telling our own stories, in our own accents and language, helps us to connect our history and heritage to this contemporary music in a new and interesting way.
