23 Jan '04

Films Distribution & Mercure International are proud to present in 54th Berlin International Film Festival and in AFM FILMS DISTRIBUTION & MERCURE INTERNATIONAL ARE PROUD TO PRESENT IN 54th BERLIN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL AND IN AFM OFFICIAL SELECTION - OUT OF COMPETITION Memoria del Saqueo, A Social Genocide A film by Fernando E. Solanas The dramatic circumstances which we are living out bring me back to my very beginnings in the cinema, thirty-five years ago, when my search for a political identity and my desire to struggle against the dictatorship led me to shoot The Hour of the Furnaces. Circumstances have greatly changed, but the consequences of the neo-liberal plan have today proved so disastrous that, once again, I am forced to bear witness to memories and testimonies by composing a living fresco based on what we have supported and endured over the past twenty-five years, from Videla's dictatorship to today. It is in this manner that I wish to contribute to the urgent debate that Argentina, Latin America and the world at large are conducting, which, as its driving force, the certainty that, faced with dehumanized globalization, "another world is possible".

My father is an Engineer A film by Robert Guédiguian starring Ariane Ascaride, Jean-Pierre Darroussin. It's the story of a man and a woman that, since childhood, can not live separated one from the other. For those two, living for themselves and for the others is one single thing. Both are medical doctors. One chose to take care of the whole world; the other a little village. Those carriers had them separated, juste a little and not for long : they will fight against fate and reality to keep together... But to really understand this movie, one has to know this : for Natacha, La Pastoral, the traditional French "Provençal" story of the Christ's birth, is the most beautiful story of the world. Three Dancing Slaves A film by Gaël Morel, starring Stéphane Rideau, Nicolas Cazalé. Through the portrait of three brothers, the story of a revenge that, benign at first, takes on tragic proportions until it forces each of the brothers to adopt a clear-cut position in relation to each other. The Silence A film by Orso Miret, starring Mathieu Demy, Natacha Régnier. Olivier (35 years old) is on holiday in Corsica in the small mountain village where his mother was born. He is with his girl friend, Marianne who is nearly three months pregnant. Olivier is clearly very attached to his Corsican roots, even if he is sometimes made to feel a bit like an outsider - and even if he himself is uneasy about assuming an identity which is not quite his own. The peacefulness of their stay is brutally broken : he is the sole witness to a murder committed by a young man from the same village and whom he has clearly recognized. Fearing that he will become a persona non grata in the village if he denounces the killer, Olivier decides to keep quiet. For how long? Earth & Ashes A film by Atiq Rahimi. A bridge, a dry riverbed in a desolate landscape, the sentry house guard who’s in a foul mood, a road that reaches its vanishing point at the horizon, a merchant who contemplates the world, an old man, a small child, and then the waiting. Nothing moves, or almost nothing. We’re in Afghanistan. The old man embarks on a journey to the coal mine where his son, the child’s father, works. He’s going to tell him that the village has been bombed, everyone’s been killed. He speaks, he thinks – the damnation of memories, of waiting, of remorse, of conjectures, of suspicions… It’s the unembellished word that gives voice to the suffering, the solitude, the fear of not being heard.
