LE TEMPS AVEC NOUS / DE TIJD MET ONS / TIME WITH US
A book on queer moving images, documenting a series of events held in 2022 at CINEMATEK, with contributions by Yann Beauvais, Stéphane Gérard, Elisabeth Lebovici, RV, Lionel Soukaz.
[…] Et dans votre film, d’ailleurs, vous bazardez la chronologie officielle, la chronologie hétéro-normée, la chronologie étatique, la chronologie du mètre-étalon, on pourrait dire, et vous proposez d’autres unités de mesure. Je trouve ça absolument fantastique.
(Elisabeth Lebovici)
Presenting as-yet-unpublished materials by RV and Lionel Soukaz.
Jacques Ledoux
“Jacques Ledoux has been memorialized in a lovely multilingual book that gathers reminiscences by Ledoux’s colleagues. There are memoirs by Noël Desmet, Clementine Deblieck, Jean-Paul Dorchain, Hilde Delabie, and Gabrielle Claes, Ledoux’s successor as director. Bernard Eisenschitz, Eric De Kuyper, and P. Adams Sitney offer illuminating appreciations of Ledoux’s contributions. (Sitney’s very full account of Knokke doings is a crucial document in the history of the American avant-garde.) Ledoux’s own voice is represented by a program note for a 1968 science-fiction series. There are many wonderful illustrations–photos, posters, correspondence (Cocteau, Lenica, Akerman).”
