  • 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.

Kai and Gerda, have a knack for getting into all kinds of trouble. What else can you expect from children raised by trolls in snowy lands? But now they are grown up, and this time they about to cause a global disaster… After defeating the Snow Queen, who had almost frozen the entire world, Kai and Gerda Became famous. However, that didn’t help them find their parents who had been abducted by the North Wind. To get by on their own, the two perform at schools and kindergartens. Popularity and wealth don’t always go together, and they hardly make ends meet. Gerda has accepted her life, but Kai can’t stand it. After another performance, where they are almost picked apart by the children who want Bits of them as souvenirs, they decide to change their lives – to move to a place where no-one knows them and start from scratch. They even consider changing their names. Their journey starts with a visit to their friend – the troll named Orm. As it runs out, it’s not that easy to escape one’s fame. Orm’s guest Rollan, a Spanish boy who is obsessed with legends and fairy tales, recounts his favourite tale to them – the story of Kai and Gerda who defeated the Snow Queen, which includes much trollish colour and emBellishment.
