  • 43E Festival International Du Film De La Rochelle Du 26 Juin Au 5 Juillet 2015 Le Puzzle Des Cinémas Du Monde
    43e Festival International du Film de La Rochelle du 26 juin au 5 juillet 2015 LE PUZZLE DES CINÉMAS DU MONDE Une fois de plus nous revient l’impossible tâche de synthétiser une édition multiforme, tant par le nombre de films présentés que par les contextes dans lesquels ils ont été conçus. Nous ne pouvons nous résoudre à en sélectionner beaucoup moins, ce n’est pas faute d’essayer, et de toutes manières, un contexte économique plutôt inquiétant nous y contraint ; mais qu’une ou plusieurs pièces essentielles viennent à manquer au puzzle mental dont nous tentons, à l’année, de joindre les pièces irrégulières, et le Festival nous paraîtrait bancal. Finalement, ce qui rassemble tous ces films, qu’ils soient encore matériels ou virtuels (50/50), c’est nous, sélectionneuses au long cours. Nous souhaitons proposer aux spectateurs un panorama généreux de la chose filmique, cohérent, harmonieux, digne, sincère, quoique, la sincérité… Ambitieux aussi car nous aimons plus que tout les cinéastes qui prennent des risques et notre devise secrète pourrait bien être : mieux vaut un bon film raté qu’un mauvais film réussi. Et enfin, il nous plaît que les films se parlent, se rencontrent, s’éclairent les uns les autres et entrent en résonance dans l’esprit du festivalier. En 2015, nous avons procédé à un rééquilibrage géographique vers l’Asie, absente depuis plusieurs éditions de la programmation. Tout d’abord, avec le grand Hou Hsiao-hsien qui en est un digne représentant puisqu’il a tourné non seulement à Taïwan, son île natale mais aussi au Japon, à Hongkong et en Chine.

    Latvijā sāk demonstrēt Šarūna Barta vēstures drāmu „Mijkrēslī“ Publicēts: 16.10.2020. Svētdien, 18. oktobrī, Rīgas Starptautiskajā kino festivālā (Riga IFF) Latvijas pirmizrādi piedzīvos lietuviešu režisora Šarūna Barta filma “Mijkrēslī”, kas veidota kā filmu studijas “Mistrus Media” kopprodukcija ar Lietuvu, Franciju, Portugāli un Čehiju. Pirmizrāde notiks kinoteātrī “Splendid Palace”, no 19. oktobra sekos filmas seansi kinoteātrī „K.Suns”, bet no 21. oktobra arī ārpus Rīgas, Latvijas novados – Cēsīs, Rojā, Cesvainē, Zaļeniekos, Madlienā un citur. Šarūna Barta filmas stāsts aptver 2. pasaules kara beigu notikumus un pretošanās cīņu padomju okupācijai pēckara Lietuvā. 2020. gada aprīlī filma tika iekļauta Kannu kinofestivāla oficiālajā programmā un pasaules pirmizrādi piedzīvoja Sansebastianas Starptautiskā Kino festivāla konkursā. Filma Mijkrēslī ir piecu valstu kopražojums, tās veidošanā sadarbojās Lietuvas studija Kinema, Latvijas studija Mistrus Media, Portugāles Tetrafilms, Čehijas SirenaFilms un Serbijas Biberche, Filmas kopprodukciju atbalstījis Nacionālais Kino centrs un Eiropas Padomes fonds Eurimages. Filmas Mijkrēslī darbība notiek 1948. gadā, kad karš ir beidzies, bet Lietuva pārvērsta drupās. Deviņpadsmit gadus vecais Untė ir viens no nacionālajiem partizāniem, kas pretojas padomju okupācijai. Spēku samērs ir nevienlīdzīgs, taču šajā izmisīgajā cīņā izšķirsies visas tautas nākotne. Laikā, kad jauni cilvēki parasti sāk iepazīt dzīvi, Untė iepazīst vardarbību un nodevību. Robeža starp to, kur beidzas viņa jauneklīgā degsme un sākas cīņas mērķis, ir izplūdusi, viņš atdod sevi visu, kaut gan tas nozīmē zaudēt jaunības nevainīgo skatu uz dzīvi. “Filmā ir atainots viens no traģiskākajiem un vienlaikus sarežģītākajiem Baltijas valstu vēstures periodiem – laika posms pēc 2. Pasaules kara, kad Baltijas valstīs atsākās PSRS okupācijas režīms, bet liels skaits Baltijas valstu iedzīvotāju pretojās okupantiem. Nacionālo partizānu kustība bija īpaši izplatīta Lietuvā, tur šī pretošanās faktiski nozīmēja karadarbību.

  • The Drift Along a Traumatic Past in the Cinematic Worlds of Šarūnas Bartas*
    RENata ŠUKAITYTė 122 The Drift along a Traumatic Past in the Cinematic Worlds of Šarūnas Bartas* Renata ŠUKAITYTė This paper examines the reflections of a recent past and formations of post-1990s subjectivities in the films of the Lithuanian film-maker Šarūnas Bartas, namely Three Days (1991), The Corridor (1995), Few of Us (1996), Seven Invisible Men (2005) and Eastern Drift (2010), and presents an analysis of the interrelation of aural and visual layers in Bartas’s films, which fall under the discourse of trauma culture (Hal Foster) and de-territorialisation (Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari). All the films tackle the relationship between the past and the present, local and transcultural, stillness and mobility, individual and communal in a sustained and complex way. Therefore, Bartas’s films reflect geopolitical and aesthetic perspectives. Bartas’s protagonists are nomads glimpsed through the Deleuzian crystalline image. They trek from one place or community to another in quest of lost belonging, freedom or adventure. Their national or cultural identity is not clearly articulated. However, they can be recognised as Eastern Europeans whose land has always been a corridor for different nations and a temporary home or place of freedom. They are like Vilém Flusser’s digital apparitions operating in Deleuzian any-space-whatevers. The nation’s land, represented by the archetypical images of a bridge, a corridor, a harbour and a home, signifies a period of historical transformations and mental transitions in society. Introductory notes about the cultural and theoretical framework Šarūnas Bartas is one of those few Lithuanian film-makers who consistently deal with the traumatic experiences of communism and the constitution of the post-Soviet identities of those living in former Soviet territory.

  • Brussels∧ Ghent∧ Strasbourg
    Brussels ∧ Ghent ∧ Strasbourg JULY–DECEMBER 2013 Lithuanian Presidency of the Council of the European Union CU URE CULTU R E – this play of letters is an incredibly simple and clever idea, which manifests for me first of all the role of culture in our lives: culture has a unique quality of being all-embracing, pervasive and engaging, inspiring, and life-changing. It also delightfully mirrors the role culture plays in Lithuania and the role of Lithuania in culture. Culture in Lithuania and Lithuania in culture is the main theme of our cultural programme to celebrate Lithuania’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union. The first Presidency, therefore for us even more challenging and exciting. Our desire is to use this opportunity to highlight the richness of Lithuanian culture and its influence in Europe and the rest of the world, to present at least a small fraction of our talented artists. Some of them are well established internationally and influence ‘the weather’ on the stage of the art world, others are young and upcoming, drawing the attention of peers through their innova- tive and inspiring ideas with their work heard and shown at the best international venues and galleries. What is important is that they exist in the broad spectrum of world culture as refreshing and challenging collaborative partners. 2 | 3 Brussels ⋅ Ghent ⋅ Strasbourg culture programme The CU LTU R E programme reveals a good mixture of features which we usually connect with Lithuanian culture: its playful, sometimes quirky, intellectually charged nature, its leaning towards the lyrical, poetic and metaphoric, its preoccupation with history and memory, ritual and non-pragmatic ways of doing things.

  • Queer Performance in the Post-Millennial Scramble
    QUEER PERFORMANCE IN THE POST-MILLENNIAL SCRAMBLE MOYNAN KING A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN THEATRE AND PERFORMANCE STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO November 2019 © Moynan King, 2019 ii Abstract The subject of this dissertation is contemporary queer feminist performance in Canada. My practice-informed research takes a unique approach to studying performance through what I call the “queer performance scramble”—a term that draws on the multiple meanings of “scramble” to understand the aesthetics of queer performance and its challenges to stable conceptions of both identity and temporality. I investigate works that are happening now and that scramble the sticky elements of their own cultural constructions and queer temporalities. The temporal turn in queer theory supports my engagement with the effects of temporality, performativity, and history on queer performance, and, conversely, the effects of queer performance on time. I am equally interested in the formal and material dimensions of the work I study. I look to the content, style, material conditions, and social scenes of queer feminist performance from the perspective of both an academic and an artist to make accessible work that is often marginalized within Canadian cultural production ecology. Chapter 1 investigates queer feminist hauntings with an analysis of Allyson Mitchell and Deirdre Logue’s Killjoy’s Kastle: A Lesbian Feminist Haunted House. Chapter 2 argues that cabaret is the primary site for queer feminist performance in Canada, and when framed as a methodological problem/solution matrix, both the celebratory and limiting potential of the form can be explored.

  • Curiosity and Surprises the Best Ideas of Lithuanian Creative Industries
    CURIOSITY AND SURPRISES The Best Ideas of Lithuanian Creative Industries National Association of Creative and Cultural Industries in Lithuania National Association of Creative and Cultural Industries in Lithuania Advertising ........................... 10 Architecture ........................... 24 Cinema ........................... 36 Computer Games ........................... 48 Design ........................... 58 Literature ........................... 70 Theatre ........................... 82 Visual Arts ........................... 94 Creative and Cultural Industries in Lithuania: Emerging from the Gray Zone Does Lithuania boast enormous creative potential? Does it show creative self- expression? Does it have rich cultural production? Is life in Lithuania becoming faster and also more dynamic? Is a new generation of Lithuanians becoming increasingly interested in new technologies? I believe all these questions can be answered with a definite “yes”. However, another question arises: does the ability to answer these questions provide us with a firm confidence in the well-being of creative and cultural industries and the flourishing of what has been dubbed the “creative economy”? I would not be so quick to state this. If I had to highlight one essential precondition for the prosperity of the Dr. ArūnAs GelūnAs creative and culture industries, it would be cooperation and networking. Even Minister of Culture of the though one has to accept the classical truth Republic of Lithuania that in most cases creative talent resides in the soul of an individual, there is also rich evidence to support the opinion that it usually takes more than one individual for a creative idea to become a part of the creative economy. It should be mentioned that due to different historical, economical, and social factors, the managerial and entrepreneurial skills of a number of creative people in Lithuania were lacking, which also applies to their willingness to cooperate with National Association of Creative and Cultural Industries in Lithuania managers and entrepreneurs.
