Wednesday 11.11 16:00 LEDOUX Cart

Somewhere between restoration and reappropriation, this session explores the past: what are we looking at when we look at a work of art? Who is speaking, who is being looked at, and who has the power to tell the story? In 1958, Paul Haesaerts filmed the art of the Belgian Congo in Sous le masque noir. His gaze remains shaped by the colonial representations of his time: the objects are shown and interpreted, but never given a voice. More than sixty years later, Matthias De Groof reverses this approach in Sous le masque blanc: le film qu’Haesaerts aurait pu faire. Using the original footage and the words of Aimé Césaire, spoken in Lingala by Maravilha Munto, he gives the Congolese masks a voice.

The screening will be followed by a conversation with Matthias De Groof (filmmaker) and Véronique Clette-Gakuba (researcher at the Metices research centre at ULB on coloniality and postcoloniality in arts and culture).

Barbara Forever
  • Brydie O’Connor, USA 2026 ⁄ color ⁄ 102' ⁄ ST - OND: FR

With Barbara Forever, director Brydie O’Connor takes on the ambitious task of telling the story of pioneering lesbian filmmaker Barbara Hammer. In the early 1970s, at 27, Hammer began filming her own life. Her body, lovers, desires, anger and joy became the raw material of her cinema. At a time when lesbian stories remained largely invisible, she created a radiant body of work where the intimate became a space for experimentation and self-affirmation. Drawing on decades of films, archives and recordings, Barbara Forever lets Hammer tell her own story. Her voice guides the images she created, while her longtime partner Florrie Burke reflects on their life together and the enduring legacy of her work.

Tender Fictions
  • Barbara Hammer, USA 1995 ⁄ color ⁄ 58' ⁄ ST - OND: FR

Self-portrait of Barbara Hammer, a pioneer of experimental lesbian cinema who continually questioned how a life can be told, preserved and passed on. In Tender Fictions, Hammer creates an autobiography in her own image: free and elusive. Super 8 footage, personal archives, testimonies, appropriated excerpts and imagined fragments come together in a collage where she investigates her own life as much as she reinvents it. With constant humour and exhilarating formal inventiveness, she blurs the boundaries between archive, memory and fiction.

Screening introduced in French by ladestructiondesespacesvides.

Hilde D’haeyere (KASK/Hogent) will present her research on Dascolor, an innovative color film process dating back to 1934. She will take us on a journey through the life of its inventor and the context that led to the creation of this method. Several color techniques in cinema will be compared to Dascolor, with an emphasis on the historical and social context. Four rare short films preserved in Dascolor will be screened in digital format. In this context, Margaux Chalançon, a production staff member at Film Atlas, will present a consistently evolving website as a catalogue for all film formats that have ever existed.

Germinal
  • Albert Capellani, France 1913 ⁄ Mévisto, Jean Jacquinet, Henry Krauss ⁄ B&W ⁄ 146' ⁄ TIT: FR ⁄ ST - OND:  — ⁄ PIANO

A few decades ago, Alberto Capellani was an obscure name and very few of his films were known to survive. With the two retrospectives of his found and restored films at the Il Cinema Ritrovato in Bologna in 2010 and 2011, it became clear that he was a director on a level with D. W. Griffith, Louis Feuillade, and Victor Sjöström. Germinal is probably his masterpiece, one of the great films that made 1913 the annus mirabilis of early cinema. Its relatively restrained acting, gritty realism suitable to Zola’s novel, and skillfully long takes are unique for this era. It deserves to be seen on the big screen. — Kristin Thompson

Preceded by an introduction in English by Kristin Thompson.

Le Dernier des Mohicans
The Last of the Mohicans
  • Maurice Tourneur, Clarence Brown, USA 1920 ⁄ Wallace Beery, Barbara Bedford, Alan Roscoe ⁄ B&W ⁄ 75' ⁄ TIT: FR - NL ⁄ ST - OND:  — ⁄ PIANO

Relatively few of Maurice Tourneur’s American films survive, but the ones that do are remarkable. The Last of the Mohicans is set during the French and Indian War of the mid-1700s. Its cinematography is gorgeous, particularly in the scenes set in spectacular landscapes. Tourneur’s signature compositional technique of shooting through an aperture, like a foreground doorway or cave opening, is used several times. The film stands out from most Hollywood films of its day for its uncompromising depiction of the ruthless conflict between the British and those Indians allied with the French. The scene of the inhabitants of the fort leaving under an assumed truce and are massacred can still create considerable suspense today, and the outcome contradicts the notion that all Hollywood films end happily. — Kristin Thompson

Screening accompanied by live music with Hughes Maréchal (piano), Ronald Van Spaendonck (clarinet) and Sébastien Walnier (cello).
