Feitos e Ditos de Nasreddin II

Pierre-Marie Goulet

Luis Rego

The stories of Nasreddin carry out a reversal of 'point of view' which shatter our established way of seeing things, people, the world and their relationships.

Polifonias - Paci é saluta, Michel Giacometti

Pierre-Marie Goulet

José Mário Branco, Virgínia Dias

Traveling by the experience and by the roots of one of the strongest manifestations of Portuguese popular culture – singing polyphonic Alentejo. Evoking Michel Giacometti, the film questions the origins of the “sing” in the context of Mediterranean culture.

Au Pere Lachaise

Jean-Daniel Pollet, Pierre-Marie Goulet

Père Lachaise cemetery reflects the socio-economic hierarchy of French society during the second half of the 19th century. The film pays homage to the Communards who were shot and whose simple commemorative gravestone contrasts with the insolence of the monuments of the great bourgeois families.

Encontros

Pierre-Marie Goulet

Paulo Rocha, Virgínia Dias

Mesmerized by the songs of Peroguarda villagers in southern Portugal’s Alentejo region, young Portuguese modern poet Antonio Reis, Corsican researcher of Portuguese folk music Michel Giacometti, and film director Paulo Rocha visited the village one after another in the late 1950s. This work refreshes the soul and flows with songs and poetry seeped in sadness, as well as the atmosphere of the quiet sea and village, fields adorned with vibrant red flowers, and roads traveled by Reis and the others, while interspersing images from Paulo Rocha’s films.

Além das Pontes

Pierre-Marie Goulet

Kudsi Erguner, Virgínia Dias

The film intends to substantiate into images and sounds the feeling of an underground analogy, no doubt partly subjective, based on Portuguese and Turkish topography and culture, while also calling upon the silent continuity of Muslim culture within Portuguese culture. By triggering encounters between members of the two cultures, one reveals what weaves the bonds between two universes so seemingly distant from one another, aside from historical facts.
