Event

The Sentinels #2

Thursday 1 December 2022 at 2:30 pm

This second meeting, which will pay tribute to the work of Jean-Luc Godard, articulates the presentation of a selection of works of the Cnap from the Arab world and a dialogue opened by the critic Saad Chakali.

"Why Sarajevo? Because Palestine."

Why Palestine? Because Beirut.
Why Beirut? Because Algiers.
Why Algiers? Because Sarajevo.

Taking Jean-Luc Godard's question as a starting point, the aim is to explore in a loop how cinema stages situations of violence in a game of field and field. From the Balkans to the Middle East, Borrowed Landscape #1 by the French-Algerian film maker, Dania Reymond-Boughenou and (Posthumous) by the Lebanese Ghassan Salhab film maker, explore the suspense of the aftermath and the uncertainty of tomorrow. Around these two filmic essays, the critic Saad Chakali will open a space of dialogue to think about the spectre of disaster that inhabits a certain cinema. He will summon Godard through Histoire(s) du cinéma, De l'origine du XXIème siècle and Notre musique.

Borrowed Landscape #1 by Dania Reymond-Boughenou (2011, 24')
The description from memory of Bruegel's painting The Massacre of the Innocents by several viewers is used to support a fictional reconstruction of the Srebrenica genocide.

(Posthume) by Ghassan Salhab (2007, 29')
This is an oration for a dead country, Lebanon, filmed just after the Israeli offensive of 2006, and from which witnesses emerge in spite of everything, against the background of a wandering among the rubble.

The film screening as well as the dialogues will take place at the Foundation from 2:30 pm to 6 pm.

This event takes place in parallel with the exhibition "Les Sentinelles - Œuvres de la collection du Cnap" (The Sentinels - Works from the Cnap collection), which runs until February 12, 2023 at the Institut du monde arabe-Tourcoing in partnership with Le Fresnoy - Studio national des arts contemporains.
