BERLIN 2021 MARKET SCREENINGS GALLANT INDIES Indes galantes By Philippe Béziat ("BECOMING TRAVIATA") Based on Jean-Philippe Rameau’s opera-ballet that was directed by Clément Cogitore for the Opéra National de Paris. This is a premiere for 30 dancers of hip-hop, krump, break, voguing… A first for the Director Clément Cogitore and for the choreographer Bintou Dembélé. And a first for the Paris’ Opera Bastille. By bringing together urban dance and opera singing, they reinvent Jean-Philippe Rameau's baroque masterpiece, Les Indes Galantes. From rehearsals to public performances, it is a human adventure and a meeting of political realities that we follow: can a new generation of artists storm the Bastille today?

They offer a vision of the United States as a rational universe in which the physical needs to fight to find its place and to escape what fate has in store for it. Ali and Stephanie, our two characters, do not appear in the short stories, and Craig Davidson’s collection already seems to belong to the prehistory of the project, but the power and brutality of the tale, our desire to use drama, indeed melodrama, to magnify their characters all have their immediate source in those stories.

The last thing she heard of him was a phone call he gave her, saying that he was lost on a beach in France and couldn’t find his father. Nowadays, Elena lives on this same beach and manages a restaurant. She is finally beginning to emerge from this tragic episode when she meets a French teenager who strongly reminds her of her lost son. the two of them will embark on a relationship which will sow chaos and distrust around them. DIRECTOR’S NOTE THE STORY Why make a continuation of the short? After shooting the short film “Madre”, we were all left with a feeling of immense satisfaction. From the very outset, I had mentioned to creative collaborators and crew members that this short film had always motivated me like a very long first scene of a feature film. And everybody I told agreed with me. It was obvious we had a great piece of material. We wanted to carry on with Elena’s story. We couldn’t just leave her like that, rushing out of her house, terrified, in search of her son. We put so much effort into telling the story of Elena’s tragedy (or its beginnings) that the key creative talent involved, producer María del Puy Alvarado, actress Marta Nieto and the humble author of these lines, always thought that we owed something to the story and the character.

    Sal Paradise SAM RILEY

    PERSMAP regie release 24 mei ON THE ROAD genre origine met “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn...” - Jack Kerouac (On the Road) New York, eind jaren veertig. Na de dood van zijn vader ontmoet Sal Paradise (Sam Riley), een aanstormend schrijver uit New York, de losbandige en avontuurlijke Dean Moriarty (Garret Hedlund). Verlangend naar vrijheid vluchten ze weg van de dagelijkse sleur en reizen door heel Amerika. Tussen wanhoop en vervoering ex- perimenteren ze met seks, liefde, drugs, alcohol en muziek. Ze zoeken de beroering, het wilde leven, de losbandigheid – de top- pen van hun emoties. Zelden heeft een boek zo’n cultstatus bereikt als ‘On The Road’ van Jack Kerouac. Onvergetelijk is het beeld dat hij oproept van wat we de ‘Beat Generation’ zijn gaan noemen: altijd onder- weg, on the road, nooit ergens aankomen, nooit ergens wíllen aankomen. Na ruim 50 jaar is deze klassieker nu verfilmd door Walter Salles (THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES) met Garrett Hedlund, Sam Riley, Kris- ten Stewart, Kirsten Dunst, Amy Adams, Elisabeth Moss en Viggo Mortensen. Jack Kerouac ont- moette in New York de schrijvers William S. Burroughs en Allen Ginsberg. Samen maakten ze deel uit van ‘The Libertine Circle’ wat nu bekend staat als de ‘Beat Ge- neration’. Hun filosofie was die van reizen en de aantrekkingskracht van het onbekende. Kerouac wilde het leven van de reiziger vast- leggen in een spontane stijl van proza: een oneindige stroom rauwe gedachten en obser- vaties.
