Le cinéma comme il va #3

The day focuses on El Pampero, a group of Argentine producers and directors of which the only work distributed in France to date is Mariano Llinás’ film-world La Flor. Thanks to this collective, which has invented a new way of producing films while simultaneously experimenting very freely with forms and narratives, it proposes a form of response to this anxiety. This experimentation is echoed in Italy by Alessandro Comodin's new film. Another hope for French cinema, among so many others we would like to see flourish, is Sons of Ramses by Clément Cogitore, which represents a very stimulating way of connecting contemporary art with “middle-of-the-road” cinema, formal questioning with political issues. Meanwhile, the tone is set for a dream horizon - still in terms of production as much as form – as an opening by the staggering film by octogenarian Jerzy Skolimowski: EO. Through the prism of the latest work by a filmmaker associated with Cahiers de cinéma since his first films in the 1960s, we celebrate, in the liveliest way imaginable, the perpetual bridges between past and present, history and invention, which are at the heart of the journal’s critical and theoretical work. This also comes into play in the tribute to critic Serge Daney (on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of his death) through the screening of a film by a filmmaker he admired and with whom he once talked during his radio programme Microfilms: Duvidha by Mani Kaul.
