The second program of Refle-x-périmental is dedicated to cine-portraits. It proposes an exploration of gestures of cinematographic (self)representation based on multiple intersections of the gaze.
From self-portraits (Snow, Unglee) to family (Schefer, Satake), familiar (Mekas, Baillie), or even domestic (Rey) portraits, along with political portraits (Glowczewska, Schefer), these films question the relationship between the filmmakers and their subjects.
From Rey’s cow to the celebrities of the Factory, these films experiment with the passages between the self and the other. They also explore filmic temporalities – those of the before and after(-shave) (Snow), of the strata of genealogical time (Schefer, Satake), of historical time (Schefer), of everyday life (Baillie, Rey) as well as of anticipation (Unglee).
The screening will be followed by a debate with filmmakers Unglee and Raquel Schefer.
