Hors Pistes Vol. 3 - Un autre mouvement des images auf DVD ausleihen

The third Volume of the "Hors Pistes" DVD Collection presents three films selected during the 2008 festival: "The Music of Regret", "Les Hommes sans Gravite" and "In the Wake of a Deadad". Each of these films deliberately challenges our perceptions beyond that of the usual director and spectator roles. the shifting of form and subject makes "Hors Pistes" unique. Imagined and directed by the Pompidou Centre, with help from the French short film agency (Agence du court métrage), "Hors Pistes" is a cry for original creativity!

"The Music Of Regret"
"The Music Of Regret" is a musical in three parts that appropriates the genre and reaffirms its happy, fanciful aspects. The film is peopled with familiar characters from Laurie Simmons' world: ventriloquist dummies, anthropomorphic puppets and oversized everyday objects. Inspired by the work of artist Ardis Vinklers, Laurie Simmons' first film builds on her photographic work expanded into performance. She invited musicians, professional puppeteers, dancers from the Alvin dance company, filmmaker Ed Lachman and the actress Meryl Streep to join her for the occasion.

"Les Hommes sans Gravité"
Within the crumbling walls of a house in ruins two young men - a lord and a gypsy - het to know each other. Bodies and decor are filmed as echoes of one another, gracefully and languidly, as they continually threaten to disappear into a narrative abyss, only to be saved in extremis by a volley of dialogues which are themselves nourished by the characters' own faint yet sustained curiosity for each other. Through a mise en scčne between frailty and persistance. Eléonore Weber's film follows desire in motion.

"In the Wake of a Deadad"
Following the death of his father, Andrew Kötting made a giant blow-up doll bearing his father's traits and filmed himself deploying it in places where the deceased could no longer set foot. Alone or with family or friends, the English filmmaker creates a frame, both literally and figuratively, and thus allow his deceased father to be reborn. More than simply the sum of its various installations, the film, set between documentary, happening and imitate short story, is an extremely moving and poetic reflection on the role and meaning of images in filiation and the grieving process.
