Director: Jean-Gabriel Périot
France, 2018, 96’, color, b&w
French with Turkish, English subtitle
In his latest film, French director Jean-Gabriel Périot, celebrated for his short video works which occupy a special place between documentary, animation and experimental, sets off to find an answer to the question, “where do we stand vis-à-vis politics in France today, in 2018?” and questions our contemporary political condition by involving ten French high school students in a unique cinematic “filmplay”. The selected students restage scenes from films from 1968 and Our Defeats intersperses the results with short interviews with students. The film asks the question, “Do we keep enough forces to confront ourselves with the chaos of today?” while building a topical, poetic, critical, and political narrative that maintains its “film about a film” structure.
Giorgio de Chirico was born on July 10, 1888, in Volos, Greece, to an Italian family. His mother, Gemma Cervetto, was from a family of Genoa origin, but most likely she was born in Izmir. His father, Evaristo, was born on June 21, 1841 in the Büyükdere district of Istanbul.
In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
In 1493, exactly 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci was finishing the preparations for casting the equestrian monument (4 times life size), which Ludovico il Moro, Duke of Milan commissioned in memory of his father some 12 years earlier.
