ENTRETIEN AVEC YORGOS LANTHIMOS Quand vous imaginez un film, qu’est-ce qui vient en premier ? Une image ou des éléments de l’histoire ? Ni l’un, ni l’autre. Ce sont des situations qui nous intéressent de prime abord, mon coscénariste et moi, et à partir de ça, l’histoire se construit. Pour Canine, le point de départ était cette famille qui retenait ses enfants chez elle. On s’est ensuite demandé ce que l’on pourrait faire de cette idée. Pour Alps, il s’agissait de personnes vivantes qui tentent de se substituer à des personnes mortes. Les images viennent presque en dernier. Nous nous concentrons d’abord sur le scénario. Il doit être le plus complet possible, sans contenir pour autant de consignes concernant la direction artistique. Ce n’est qu’après l’écriture que je commence à me demander à quoi le film et ses personnages pourront ressembler. Et tout cela peut encore changer au moment du tournage. Le premier point commun entre Canine, votre premier long métrage, et Alps, c’est le triangle : la forme d’une canine et celle d’une montagne. Qu’a-t-elle de si intéressant cette figure géométrique ? Nous n’avons pas pensé à cette figure avant de faire le film, pas consciemment en tous cas. Nous n’avions pas de vision globale du film avant de le faire. Nous l’avons découvert au fur et à mesure, à chaque étape, lors de l’écriture, des répétitions, du tournage et du montage, puis quand nous l’avons regardé et que les spectateurs nous en ont parlé, en nous racontant ce qu’ils en avaient compris. Cette découverte ne finit jamais. Vous avez édicté quinze règles définissant Alps, la société secrète qui donne son titre au film : ses membres doivent avoir au moins quatorze ans, ils doivent passer le test imposé par le club de gymnastique, ils ne doivent pas parler de leur activité aux non-membres, etc. Pourtant, aucun personnage ne parle de ces règles. Pourquoi ? Nous les avons écrites une fois le film terminé. C’était plus amusant que de formuler une note d’intention expliquant le film ou une déclaration pompeuse. Cela nous a encore plus amusés de comparer ensuite ces règles avec le film, pour voir lesquelles étaient enfreintes. Aviez-vous déjà certaines de ses règles en tête pour diriger les acteurs ? Ce n’est pas ma manière de travailler. Je ne dis jamais : « Voilà comment nous allons faire le film, ce sera comme ça et pas autrement ». J’attends des comédiens qu’ils fassent simplement les choses. On repère ensuite ce que l’on ne veut pas, et on procède par soustraction, afin d’arriver aux bons gestes. Le plus important reste quand même de savoir choisir ses acteurs. Quand le choix est bon, il suffit de les laisser faire à leur manière, et ensuite d’ajuster. — RÈGLE N°13 — Qu’est-ce que les acteurs connaissaient de l’histoire ? Savaient-ils quand leurs personnages étaient sincères et quand ils jouaient ? DOIVENT ÊTRE CAPABLES DE FAIRE Les acteurs savaient tout de leurs personnages et connaissaient parfaitement le scénario, mais je me suis bien gardé de rappeler les intentions à chaque prise. Je ne disais pas « Maintenant, DES EXPRESSIONS FACIALES CONVAINCANTES. ton personnage doit faire semblant » ou d’autres choses de ce type. Tout s’est fait de manière naturelle. Sur le plateau, nous nous sommes simplement efforcé de créer des ambiances similaires à celles des scènes tournées. Quand les personnages faisaient semblant ou qu’ils jouaient un rôle, nous essayions de créer une atmosphère bizarre. Au contraire, quand les personnages devaient être ce qu’ils étaient vraiment, l’ambiance était plus décontractée. Tout cela sans jamais rien expliquer, ni verbaliser. Une seule scène ne laisse aucune place au doute quant au fait que les personnages jouent un rôle. C’est quand ils s’amusent à imiter des personnalités disparues. Le chef, Mont Blanc, imite Bruce Lee. Pourquoi ce choix ? La seule raison qui a motivé notre choix de Bruce Lee est qu’il était tout simplement mort. L’un des personnages se trompe d’ailleurs, en jouant le rôle de Prince qui, lui, est bien vivant… Le fait que Bruce Lee soit mort pendant un tournage et ait été remplacé par une doublure ajoute en- core à l’ironie, mais ce n’était pas un choix purement intellectuel de notre part. Il n’y a pas de vidéo, ni de cinéma dans le monde décrit par Alps, pas d’images en mouvements susceptibles de montrer les défunts encore en vie. Est-ce pour cela que les clients ont besoin des services de la société secrète ? Ces images font partie de leurs vies et de leur monde, mais nous avons décidé de ne pas les mon- trer pour que rien ne vienne enrayer le fonctionnement du film. Si nous avions inclus de telles vidéos, elles auraient immanquablement appelé une comparaison entre les défunts et leurs rem- plaçants. Nous serions alors rentrés dans un registre beaucoup plus réaliste, et l’histoire n’aurait pas fonctionné comme elle aurait dû. Pourquoi la société secrète est-elle organisée autour d’un club de gymnastique ? Cet endroit nous semblait idéal. Il permet aux membres de s’entraîner et de répéter leurs rôles, et c’est en même temps un lieu inattendu par rapport à l’activité des personnages. Les employés d’Alps travaillent-ils pour l’argent ? L’argent n’est pas leur unique motivation. Ce travail répond aussi à un besoin des employés. Il comble un manque, une frustration qui peut être familiale, amicale, sexuelle. Chacun d’eux a des raisons personnelles de le faire. Dans la vie en général, tout le monde joue différents rôles. Nous changeons de comportements en fonction des jours, de nos interlocuteurs, de nos objectifs. Ce jeu de rôles fait partie de notre vie quotidienne. Alps n’est que la version extrême de ce comportement. Pendant longtemps, le seul réalisateur grec qui existait aux yeux de la critique était Theo Angelopoulos. Maintenant, il y a notamment Athina Rachel Tsangari (Attenberg, sorti en France en 2011), Babis Makridis (L, encore inédit dans les salles françaises), Spiros Stathoulopoulos — RÈGLE N°14 — (Metéora, selectionné au dernier Festival de Berlin) et vous. Qu’est-ce qui a changé ? Les temps ont changé. C’est une autre génération. Nous avons fini par comprendre que nous pouvions faire des films avec de faibles moyens, peu voire pas d’argent du tout, en grande partie grâce DOIVENT HONORER LEUR TITRE DE MEMBRE, à l’aide d’amis.

But it’s not that easy to forget the war and leave violence behind. DECOMPRESSION PROGRAM since 2008, every French soldier returning from a tour of duty goes through a “decompression period” (canadians do the same thing – us soldiers too). They are taken to a five-star hotel for three days where they are supposed to forget about the war and relax among tourists enjoying their vacation. The program, devised by army psychologists, includes aqua- gym and relaxation classes, boat excursions and group mee- tings where everyone must tell the story of their individual experience during the six months spent in a war zone. This military therapy is more or less successful. TWO POWERFUL WOMEN Aurore and Marine are two young women with strong per- sonalities. They’ve known each other since childhood, come from modest backgrounds and grew up in lorient, an ave- rage town, where there aren’t a lot of alternatives for young people to build a future.

  • Writers and Creative Advisors Selected for Faliro House | Sundance Institute Mediterranean Screenwriters Workshop in Greece, July 3-9
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media contacts: June 29, 2017 Esmeralda Momferratou [email protected] Writers and Creative Advisors Selected for Faliro House | Sundance Institute Mediterranean Screenwriters Workshop in Greece, July 3-9 Eight Projects Selected for 2017 Faliro House | Sundance Institute Mediterranean Screenwriters Workshop, in Recognition and Support of Emerging Independent Filmmakers from Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Portugal and Spain Athens, Greece: Christos V. Konstantakopoulos’ Faliro House Productions (The Founder, The Lobster), in collaboration with Sundance Institute, will host the second edition of the Faliro House | Sundance Institute Mediterranean Screenwriters Workshop in Costa Navarino, Greece July 3-9. The workshop is designed to support emerging filmmakers from Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal, and this year will include filmmakers from Cyprus.

  • The Capsule Athina Rachel Tsangari Press Kit July 2012 Copy 3
    1 2012 — Greece — 35’ DCP, 1:1.78, Color, 5.1 surround, French Synopsis Seven girls, a mansion perched on a Cycladic rock, a cycle of lessons on discipline, desire and demise—infinitely. 2 The film Athina Rachel Tsangari has created both a film and a projection installation for the DesteFashion- Collection 2012, commissioned by art collector Dakis Joannou. It is a “Greek Gothic” mystery inspired by the work of the young Polish artist Aleksandra Waliszewska. Tsangari curated an haute couture “capsule” for the DesteFashionCollection 2012, selecting works by young, avant-garde designers who boldly challenge the boundaries of fashion as wearable sculpture. 3 The pieces feature in both her film and projection installation, re-agitating the ongoing, essential dialogue between cinema, fashion, and the fine arts. A distinguished international all-female cast of seven is participating, including Ariane Labed, winner of the Coppa Volpi for Best Actress at the 2010 Venice Film Festival in Tsangari’s “Attenberg”; Clémence Poésy, known for her roles in the “Harry Potter” series and Danny Boyle’s “127 hours”; and Isolda Dychauk, the lead in Aleksander Sokurov’s “Faust”. 4 The installation The CAPSULE installation repurposes digital 3D technology to create a kaleidoscopic illusion apparatus, a modern-day adaptation of early cinema’s “Kinetoscope”. It invites an unsuspecting audience of passers-by to enter an adventure of visual perception, dependent on their distance from the screen and their respective heights. Viewers are invited to either fully engage and “discover” the story 5 unfolding on the screen, or fleetingly experience the images as mysterious, oneiric tableaux.

  • GREEK CINEMA PERSISTS AGAINST ALL ODDS By: Niko Franghias
    1 HELLENIC CURRENT: GREEK CINEMA PERSISTS AGAINST ALL ODDS By: Niko Franghias (Article reproduced with the kind permission of THE GREEK STAR - February 9, 2012 Edition "DOES GREECE MATTER?") It started early 2008, when an unusual Greek thriller, TALE 52, was announced in official competition at the Rotterdam International Film Festival, the essential hub in Holland for discovering film talent from around the globe. The film, written and directed by young filmmaker Alexis Alexiou with the support of the government-funded Greek Film Centre (GFC), was well received and soon was acquired by a European distribution label. TALE 52 moved on to Sitges – the Catalonian International Film Festival in Spain - where it won best Screenplay. And then, there was Light! An awakening! Every filmmaker went through a revelation “why can’t I?” That’s not to imply that in the past, Greek films were not recognized by major European film events and international audiences. Visual storytellers like Michael Cacoyannis, Costa Gavras, Pantelis Voulgaris, the late Theo Angelopoulos, Greece’s exceptional film poet, and others, have been embraced by Cannes, Berlin and Venice respectively. But, in my view, all these worthy distinctions through such a long passage of time loomed more like rare flashes of clarity in a storyteller’s mind that has been in a coma for the last 37 years. Three Greek films lit sunbeams in major European festivals in 2009 and the Greek film community could not believe the stroke of good luck. In Berlinale’s Panorama, STRELLA, A WOMAN’S WAY, by director/writer/producer Panos H.

  • CHEVALIER De Athina Rachel Tsangari 23 De Fevereiro De 2017
    CHEVALIER de Athina Rachel Tsangari _ 23 de Fevereiro de 2017 sinopse Seis homens encontram-se num luxuoso iate, numa aventura piscatória pelo mar Egeu. Para matar o tédio, decidem iniciar um jogo onde vão competir entre si em absolutamente todas as áreas. Aqui qualquer comparação é válida e tudo o que de mais trivial possam executar durante a viagem será transformado em pontos que serão acumulados ou subtraídos. No final, quando o concurso estiver terminado e eles forem escrutinados até à exaustão, apenas um sairá vencedor e ostentará, orgulhosamente, um anel com o carimbo de "Chevalier". A pressão que cada um sente em tornar-se vencedor vai levá-los ao limite, criando inseguranças inesperadas e inimizades difíceis de ultrapassar… Estreada, em 2015, no Festival de Cinema de Locarno (Suíça), esta é uma comédia onde a rivalidade masculina é levada ao absurdo. A realização fica a cargo da grega Athina Rachel Tsangari (“Attenberg”) segundo um argumento seu e de Efthymis Filippou. O elenco conta com a participação de Yiorgos Kendros, Panos Koronis, Vangelis Mourikis, Sakis Rouvas, Makis Papadimitriou e Yorgos Pirpassopoulos. Título original: Chevalier (Grécia, 2015, 105 min.)

BELLA A que é que sabe a minha língua? MARINA Parece uma lesma. É nojento. BELLA Se não respirares, engasgas-te. MARINA Abro outra vez? BELLA Só um bocadinho. Isso mesmo. MARINA Pronto, podes entrar. ... Estás toda peganhenta. Vou vomitar. BELLA Se não estiver molhada, não funciona. Há mais significado e entendimento mútuo na troca de olhares com um gorila, do que com qualquer outro animal que eu conheça. E se houvesse uma possibilidade de escapar à condição humana e viver criativamente no universo de outro animal, seria com os gorilas. SIR DAVID ATTENBOROUGH, Life on Earth SINOPSE Marina, 23 anos, cresceu com o pai, um arquitecto, numa cidade fabril protótipo junto ao mar. Porque considera a espécie humana estranha e repelente, mantém a sua distância. Prefere observá-la através de canções dos Suicide, dos documentários sobre mamíferos de Sir David Attenborough, e das aulas de educação sexual que recebe de Bella, a sua única amiga. Um estranho chega à cidade e desafia-a para um duelo de matraquilhos, na sua própria mesa. Enquanto isso, o pai dela prepara-se, numa espécie de ritual, para abandonar o século XX, que considera “sobrevalorizado”. Encurralada entre dois homens e a sua cúmplice, Bella, Marina investiga os extraordinários mistérios da fauna humana.

  • BY BABIS MAKRIDIS GREECE, POLAND 2018 Log Line
    BY BABIS MAKRIDIS GREECE, POLAND 2018 LOG LINE The story of a man who feels happy only when he is unhappy: addicted to sadness, with such need for pity, that he’s willing to do everything to evoke it from others. This is the life of a man in a world not cruel enough for him. SYNOPSIS A man of about 45, the Lawyer, lives with his teenage son in a well-off home. He is healthy, with a pleasing face, good manners and is generally well maintained. His hair is perfectly cut and groomed. His wife, however, has been in a coma and has been in a private hospital for some time following an accident. The sadness caused by this event has become the Lawyer’s main and most vital element of life, giving him a sense of pleasure that becomes an addiction. His grief has also suddenly made everybody have compassion towards him: the neighbor bakes him a cake, the dry-cleaners give him a discount, and he shares an emotional moment with an employee. His life has never been better than it is now that he is a sad, pitied person. Then one day, his wife wakes up from the coma. Her return home radically changes his recently established everyday life of pity and sorrow.
