Infidèles (Unfaithful)/Claude Pérès

ABOUT: "Director Claude Pérès takes viewers on a haunting journey with this groundbreaking drama. 

The premise is simple: Pérès and a man he's never met will sleep together while the cameras roll. No contract, no film crew, no boundaries. The end result is a film that challenges viewers to look into the heart of human desire.

There’s palpable tension as "the director" (Pérès) and "the actor" engage in conversation and gradually give in to the film’s unusual and unpredictable scenario. Pérès loosely structures the encounter as an interview in which he poses piercing questions to his onscreen lover, himself, and the audience. 

It’s is the kind of film that seeps into the viewers’ subconscious and rattles their comfort levels. 

After watching Unfaithful, audiences will never look at cinema the same way again."

The lollipop generation/G.B. Jones


WIKI: G. B. Jones is a Canadian artist, filmmaker, musician, and publisher of zines based in Toronto, Canada. Her drawings have been featured at galleries around the world, and her films screened at numerous film festivals, both in Canada and abroad.

The Lollipop Generation is an underground experimental film. "Shot on Super 8 and video, The Lollipop Generation takes these tools of the traditional home movie and uses them to make a fucked up family film." The film was made over a period of 13 years, "one Super-8 reel at a time", whenever the director could afford to buy another cartridge of film. In the end, the Toronto band Kids on TV organized a benefit so that GB Jones could finish it.

HISTOIRE(S) DU CINÉMA/Jean-Luc Godard

WIKI: "The densest of Godard's films, Histoire(s) du cinéma is an examination of the history of the concept of cinema and how it relates to the 20th century; in this sense, it can also be considered a critique of the 20th century and how it perceives itself. The project is considered the major work of the late period of Godard's career; it is alternately described as an essay and a poem."
