Ghazi Alqudcy's debut feature 'Temporary Visa' in Borneo and Barcelona - winning best film in the Discovery section

TEMPORARY VISA, the debut feature film of Ghazi Alqudcy screened recently in the Asian Film Festival Barcelona (Casa Asia), where it won the Best Film in the Discovery Section of the festival.

Here is what the judges had to say about the film:

“Best film for Discovery section awarded to Temporary Visa (Singapore) by Ghazi Alqudcy for approaching us in a very alive, uninhibited and truthful way - with a camera language in hand, direct and innovative - to a tough latent reality among all those young people who survive to find their site in a system that does not count or is designed for them, and we find it very suitable to reward the film in a section that tries to discover new directors and the employment of risky cinematic languages.” – Asian Film Festival Barcelona (Casa Asia)”

The film will also soon screen in SARAWAK - Rumah Filem and Borneo Art Collective (Ghazi will be attending the Q&A on 14th Nov 2019 - 8pm, doors open at 7.30pm)

Kaori Oda's feature doc CENOTE to screen at International Film Festival Rotterdam 2020

Kaori’s Oda’s intriguing documentary set in Mexico has been selected to screen in the Bright Future Main Programme.

Synopsis:

In Northern Yucatan, Mexico, natural sinkholes called 'cenotes' constituted the sole water source for Mayans not living near a river or lake. Some cenotes were used for ritual sacrifices, and the Mayans believed that these holy springs connected this world to the afterlife.

The past and present of those living around the cenotes coalesce in this mysterious place. Long-lost memories echo in hallucinatory turquoise underwater footage, an entrancing game of light and dark. Swimming in these sinkholes, director Oda Kaori encounters intriguing shapes and beams of light, the water heaves, drops fall like razor blades.

Oda, who studied under Béla Tarr in Sarajevo, previously made Aragane, which was shot in a Bosnian coal mine. For Cenote, she used Super-8 film and a bubbling water soundscape. A captivating form for her impressions of a place where, as a ghostly voiceover explains, nothing is forgotten.

Exhibition of 'muse series – paintings of Cenote'

YIDFF2019 collaboration program
Kaori Oda exhibition
muse series
paintings of Cenote

In conjunction with the 16th Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival 2019, which will begin on October 10, we will exhibit and introduce painting works by filmmaker Kaori Oda. Oda learned from master Tal Bella in Sarajevo, and his work “Mine ARAGANE”, which was closely linked to miners working in Bosnian coal mines, was selected for YIDFF2015 “New Asian Currents” and attracted attention.
This exhibition “muse series – paintings of Cenote” will exhibit a part of the “Muse” series of 100-piece paintings that Oda drew in his room during the editing period of the new work “Cenote” taken in Mexico. Cenote is a spring in a cave dotted in the northern part of the Yucatan Peninsula. In the days of the Mayan civilization, it was considered a sanctuary linking the present life and the yellow spring for those who have roots in the Maya who still live in the surroundings. Like the previous work “Mine AKAGANE”, what was Oda's vision that he saw and felt in the underground world? Along with the movie “Cenote” to be screened at YIDFF2019 “New Asian Currents” this time, please come to this exhibition where light and darkness, life and death, movies and paintings come together.

Planning: kanabou

At the beginning of 2017, I watched "Snake Dance" in a movie about Lumière Brothers. I was fascinated by the shot and started drawing pictures of dancers, and I became involved with the pictures of the Mexican underwater cave that I am working on day by day.
They drew their faces while thinking of the girls who were thrown into the spring in the cave as a ginger because of the rain. During the shooting in Mexico, I met many people, listened to many stories, and dive into an unknown underwater space.
I feel like I was trying to refute what my mind and body had experienced by making an output of drawing pictures every day while gathering the shooting materials after returning to Japan.

Talk with Béla Tarr and Jacques Rancière

INTERVIEW

About the piece:

Vienna is the city with the highest quality of living in the world – this was confirmed yet again in 2018. But the city’s immaculate façade made of Habsburg splendour, Sacher torte and snow-white Lipizzaner horses is only half the story. Many inhabitants do not fit into this picture and are hidden from sight owing to poverty and social hierarchies. Béla Tarr’s Missing People makes them visible again. Tarr’s magnum opus, Sátántangó, is widely regarded as one of the most important works in film history. And according to his director colleague Gus Van Sant, the Hungarian comes closer to the actual rhythm of life than virtually any other filmmaker. This is also true for his new project, which is his first time directing after a long creative break. Using just a few shots, Tarr shows these invisible people in the kind of place to which they would normally have no access. This work, created in the intersection of film, installation and performance, will be presented exclusively during the Wiener Festwochen – at the filming location itself. While the visitors remain amongst themselves, only traces of the protagonists are left behind. A powerful plea for humanity.

Gonzalo Escobar Mora to attend The Robert Flaherty Film Seminar 2019

Gonzalo Escobar Mora has been invited to attend The 65th 2019 Robert Flaherty Film Seminar, to be held JUNE 15 – 21 at the COLGATE UNIVERSITY, HAMILTON, NY

He will be representing Bistrik7 there, along with several curatorial and film projects that he is developing with his production company and in collaboration with Bistrik7.

http://flahertyseminar.org/

ABOUT THE FLAHERTY

The Flaherty is a nonprofit media arts institution recognized as a leader in its support of the documentary and other independent film and video.

Festival Statement: We are artists in action. We combat demagogues who oppose our notions of freedom and justice. In this era of uncertainty, we rebel against the lies and navigate what to accept or reject, what to learn or unlearn. We find solidarity in small local communities, and together we act creatively, speak out, and make works that challenge the status quo.

At the 65th Robert Flaherty Seminar we unite as an international community of artists—thinkers, makers, and activists—all in action. We discover and experience moments of beauty, truth, anarchy and conflict through film, as well as painting, performance, photography, text, and sound. We encounter the craftsmanship of those who are not afraid to battle deep, ethical questions, and whose actions split form and convention wide open. With careful attention to the process of making—the construction of sensuous textures and mythical imagery, the patterning of resistance and repetition, and the uses of performative interventions and idiosyncratic storytelling—we learn how to create powerful moments of aesthetic and political liberation.

While inhabiting the everyday practice of making, doing, living, suffering and protesting as artists today, we take inspiration from the poetics of the human condition, and step into a new terrain. In discourse, thought, and experience, we come together as a community in action to bear witness and shape our future.
