November 5 - 7.00pm
Pedro Costa Shorts
These 3 shorts engage in shifting, multi-layered dialogue with the people and sites in Costa's features, and serve as the perfect introduction to next week's season.
6 Bagatelas (2001) 18 mins. 6 unused scenes of Straub & Huillet from Where Does Your Hidden Smile Lie? are put into a new context.
Ne Change Rien (2005) 11 mins. In crisp black & white Costa's camera is captivated by the enigmatic French actress Jeanne Balibar (Desplechin's My Sex Life... Or How I Got Into An Argument), first in her dressing room, then strikingly placed in space performing on stage a song inspired by Godard.
Tarrafal 2007 16 mins. On the island of Fogo (where much of Casa de Lava was filmed) stands the site of the tarrafal prison where political dissidents were tortured & killed for nearly 40 years.
* Followed by My Sex Life... Or How I Got Into An Argument at 7.50pm.
* Screens as part of the Pedro Costa Season.
