14 NOV 2017
Notes on the Circus, USA, 1966, 12 min.Speed and colour play, over-impression and eclipse: a singular cinematographic vision of the circus.
The Brig, USA, 1964, 68 min.Shot in a Broadway theatre, with a bestial authenticity that earn it the award for best documentary at the Venice Film Festival, The Brig is halfway between fiction and pamphlet. The film has a vocalic score and an atmosphere that evokes Kafka’s nightmares.
