SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Camilo Restrepo
DESCRIPTION:This Fall\, the FSC will be hosting (remotely) a series of visiting filmmakers as part of our Nonfiction Workshop. Invited filmmakers will circulate links to their films in advance so that we can watch them on our own\, and we will get together as a group to have a conversation about their work. As many of these works are in progress or yet to be released theatrically\, we have limited capacity in terms of the number of participants we are able to accommodate. If you are interested in attending (and are not currently a FSC fellow)\, please email Cozette Russell \nCamilo Restrepo (1975\, Colombia) has lived and worked in Paris since 1999. He is a member of L’Abominable\, an artist-run film laboratory. His films have been selected in festivals including Toronto and New York and won the Silver Leopard prize at Locarno International Film Festival twice\, for his films Impression of a War (2015) and Cilaos (2016). \nLos Conductos (2020)\n70 min. \nPinky is on the run. At night the empty streets smell of the apocalypse and the city seems to be on fire. Narcotics swirl through the veins and the air. Having freed himself from the clutches of a sect led by a certain “padre” and determined to take his fate into his own hands\, he is now holed up in an illegal T-shirt factory\, surrounded by paints\, slogans and heat presses. Pinky is looking for the light at the end of the tunnel\, but ghosts are breathing down his neck. He is running for his life\, and Colombia is on fire. But Colombia is alive. After his highly promising short films\, Camilo Restrepo has now made a debut feature that is as visionary\, physical and elastic as the 16mm celluloid on which it was shot. The deeper Los Conductors dives into the nightmarish and the hallucinatory\, the tougher\, more political and hungrier for reality the film becomes. In a narrative downward spiral\, it conveys with the utmost precision the survival instincts of a character who is unwittingly fighting to liberate an entire country\, perhaps even a continent. Restrepo uses the medium of cinema to transform an allegorical exploration of one’s roots into an irrepressible desire to change the world. – Berlinale Encounters\, 70th International Film Festival Berlin

SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Hassen Ferhani [CANCELED]
DESCRIPTION:[CANCELED] \nHassen Ferhani was born in Algiers in 1986. In 2006\, he directed his first film Les Baies d’Alger. He took part in l’Université d’été at La Fémis and co-directed Afric Hotel (2011). Later on\, he made Tarzan\, Don Quichotte et nous (2013)\, which was presented at Visions du Réel\, FIDMarseille and Locarno\, and which had already reflected his interest in documentary bordering on fiction. Roundabout in My Head (2015)\, shot in slaugtherhouses in Algiers\, was his first feature. In 2015 he was awarded a McMillan-Stewart Fellowship in Distinguished Filmmaking from the Film Study Center. \n143 rue du désert (2019)\n104 min. \nPreviously\, a slaughterhouse opened up the heart of Algiers to the world (Roundabout in My Head\, 2015). Now\, the manager of a small shop in the Sahara offers a place of peace − though maybe not an oasis\, what with the sand wiping out even the colors in this documentary Western. A closed off chamber\, an observation spot or a theater stage: such is the versatility of a filmmaking device that Ferhani – and therein lies his talent − never seems to be satisfied with\, always being ready to embrace the unexpected. – Antoine Thirion\, Locarno Film Festival\, Concorso Cineasti del presente

SUMMARY:Krabi\, 2562 with directors Anocha Suwichakornpong and Ben Rivers [CANCELED]
DESCRIPTION:[CANCELED] \nKrabi\, 2562\nAnocha Suwichakornpong and Ben Rivers in Person \nThailand\, United Kingdom\, 2019\nThai\, English\n94 minutes \nAn innovative exploration of the Thai tourist community\, Anocha Suwichakornpong and Ben Rivers’ visually elegant and conceptually creative documentary is an ambitious reflection on time\, place\, and memory. \nCreative documentary and cinematic realism are at the core of Krabi\, 2562\, a luminous\, elegantly playful work on the power images have to represent and manipulate a personal universe of collective memories and to inspire social awareness. \nCo-conceived and directed by festival favourites Anocha Suwichakornpong and Ben Rivers\, two distinctive voices from different cultures and traditions who nevertheless share a similarly generous vision of the world\, Krabi\, 2562 is an elaboration of themes and ideas investigated in the duo’s 2018 installation for the first Thai Biennale. In the film’s narrative and visual space the Holocene\, the recent past\, and present day (2562 being the current year in the Thai Buddhist calendar) coexist in southern Thailand’s Krabi region and its quietly beautiful landscapes — paradises soon to be lost forever in the contamination of rampant consumerism and invasive tourism. \nAs a woman — who has a propulsive\, changing identity — guides viewers through Krabi’s history\, folklore\, and iconic sites\, the film’s hybrid structure merges fiction\, interviews\, and oral tradition into a fluid experience\, as placid as it is trippy. In one instance\, a prehistoric couple exists alongside Krabi’s many international tourists and commercial film crews\, going about their mundane daily life oblivious to the millennia that have passed. \nShot on Super 16 by Rivers and cinematographer Leung Ming Kai\, the film lingers on the quiet pace of omnipresent nature\, ever-changing light\, and the inhabitants who strangely\, though also naturally\, are suspended within a vast time continuum — including that of memory. \nGIOVANNA FULVI\, Toronto Film Festival

SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Roberto Minervini
DESCRIPTION:Photographer\, filmmaker and music producer Roberto Minervini (1970\, Italy) is a US-based film director\, writer and lecturer. He holds a Master in Media Studies from the New School University in New York. His Stop the Pounding Heart (2013) was screened in Rotterdam and Cannes. The Other Side (2015) was screened in the Un Certain Regard competition at Cannes. His documentary What You Gonna Do When the World’s on Fire? (2018) screened in the main competition section of the 75th Venice International Film Festival.\n \nWhat You Gonna Do When the World’s on Fire? (2018)\n123 min.\n \nMinervini’s follow-up to his Texas Trilogy is a portrait of African-Americans in New Orleans struggling to maintain their unique cultural identity and to find social justice. Shot in very sharp black and white\, the film is focused on Judy\, trying to keep her family afloat and save her bar before it’s snapped up by speculators; Ronaldo and Titus\, two brothers growing up surrounded by violence and with a father in jail; Kevin\, trying to keep the glorious local traditions of the Mardi Gras Indians alive; and the local Black Panthers\, trying to stand up against a new\, deadly wave of racism. This is a passionately urgent and strangely lyrical film experience. – Film at Lincoln Center

SUMMARY:Screening: Atlantique by Mati Diop
DESCRIPTION:Atlantique\nDirected by Mati Diop.\nWith Mame Sane\, Amadou Mbow\, Traoré.\nBelgium/France/Senegal \, 2019\, DCP\, color\, 105 min.\nFrench and Wolof with English subtitles. \nThe stunning debut feature by actress-turned-filmmaker Mati Diop is a bewitching tale of longing focused on a young Senegalese woman gripped by her forbidden love for an exploited construction worker who abruptly emigrates to Europe but seems to be lingering mysteriously behind. Melding supernatural fiction with a clear-eyed vision of the migrant crisis\, Atlantique—which began\, in fact\, as a documentary short—gives unique resonance to an urgent issue reshaping communities across Europe and Africa today. A surprise but well-deserved winner of the coveted Grand Prix at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival\, Atlantique establishes Diop as a central figure in a new wave of politically charged yet lyrically shaped art cinema that is reorienting contemporary filmmaking towards bold new directions. – HG \nCo-sponsored by the Harvard Film Archive \nMati Diop is no longer able to appear in person.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Microphone Selection and Technique
DESCRIPTION:High-quality sound is one of the most frequently overlooked factors in film and video production. It’s half of the equation in audiovisual terms\, yet image often plays a dominant role. The Film Study Center possesses a wide array of microphones and sonic transducers – available for loan to current FSC fellows and students of Critical Media Practice – to aid in the production of immersive and nuanced soundtracks or audio-only works. \nLike any tool\, one must understand how a microphone functions and which applications it is best suited to fully reap its benefits. In this workshop\, led by FSC Film and Video Technician Stefan Grabowski\, we will discuss a variety of microphone designs and their ideal uses\, whether you’re wanting to conduct interviews in controlled spaces\, capture location sound in noisy outdoor environments\, or create complex aural textures by means of less conventional tools such as hydrophones\, contact microphones\, or parabolic reflectors. We will discuss different pickup patterns\, stereo configurations and microphone arrays\, and the characteristics of each of these.

SUMMARY:Screening: Voices of the Rainforest with Steven Feld
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with Documentary Educational Resources (DER)\, a center for documentary anthropology and ethnographic film based in nearby Watertown\, the Harvard Art Museums present the new documentary film “Voices of the Rainforest\,” in 7.1 surround sound. \nDirected and produced by acclaimed ethnomusicologist Steven Feld\, “Voices of the Rainforest” is an experiential documentary about the ecological and aesthetic coevolution of Papua New Guinea’s Bosavi rainforest region and its inhabitants. Through sound and image\, the film immerses viewers in the rainforest\, making myriad connections between the everyday sounds of the rainforest biosphere and the creative practices of the Bosavi people who sing to\, with\, and about it. \nThe film is based on Feld’s 1991 acousmatic composition of the same name\, which condensed 24 hours of sounds of the rainforest and the Bosavi people into an hour. Produced by Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart\, the piece was digitized and recomposed into a surround-sound experience and performed at the Harvard Art Museums in 2017. The success of the soundtrack prompted the digitization of Feld’s archive of Bosavi images and a two-month trip to Bosavi by Feld and filmmaker Jeremiah Richards\, who brought high-resolution cameras and drones to renew the project. \nFollowing the screening\, Steven Feld will discuss the film with Amahl Bishara\, associate professor of anthropology at Tufts University. \nCo-sponsored by Documentary Educational Resources\, the Peabody Museum of Anthropology and Ethnology\, the Film Study Center at Harvard University\, the Critical Media Practice secondary field\, and the Harvard Art Museums.

SUMMARY:Mama Colonel by Dieudo Hamadi at the HFA
DESCRIPTION:Mama Colonel\nDirector in Person\n$12 Special Event Tickets/Free Admission for students with Harvard ID\nDirected by Dieudo Hamadi.\nDRC/France\, 2017\, DCP\, color\, 72 min.\nLingala\, Swahili and French with English subtitles. \nDieudo Hamadi is the 2019-20 McMillan-Stewart Fellow in Distinguished Filmmaking at the Film Study Center at Harvard University. \nFirst seen in Tolérance zero\, where she combatted violence against women in the context of a special police brigade\, Honorine Munyole\, now a colonel\, selflessly leads a vigorous campaign against rape and the mistreatment of children in the provincial capital of Bukavu. She has instated a number of mechanisms for their protection and solidarity\, including refuges for the most vulnerable. But she is transferred to a larger city\, Kisangani\, also Hamadi’s birthplace. Supported by a small group of police officers\, she has to convince residents to report the numerous crimes that take place in the city’s disadvantaged neighborhoods and find safe havens for those who need them. Two wounds are particularly active. One is the “six-day war” that ravaged the city in 2000\, during which many women were raped\, their husbands and sons killed\, and all their possessions destroyed or stolen. Some of them now find themselves with children born out of that atrocity. Another is that of a family structure in which men frequently disappear for multiple reasons\, which correlates with innumerable abuses inflicted on children who are then accused of sorcery to legitimate the mistreatment. With an impressive level of determination and skill\, and well aware of the limitations of her efforts\, Maman Colonelle tirelessly struggles against this tight web of poverty\, violence\, obscurantism and egotism. From the precinct to the slums\, from the markets where Colonel Honorine berates shopkeepers to negotiations with public figures looking to appropriate the benefits of her work\, and even into the privacy of her home\, Hamadi stays close by his heroine. She becomes a mirror for a diseased society\, but one that nonetheless pulsates with admirable forces of life.

SUMMARY:Kinshasa Makambo by Dieudo Hamadi at the HFA
DESCRIPTION:Kinshasa Makambo\nDirector in Person\nReception following screening\n$12 Special Event Tickets/Free Admission to students with  Harvard ID\nDirected by Dieudo Hamadi.\nDRC/France/Switzerland/Germany/Qatar/Norway\, 2018\, DCP\, color\, 75 min.\nLingala and French with English subtitles. \nDieudo Hamadi is the 2019-20 McMillan-Stewart Fellow in Distinguished Filmmaking at the Film Study Center at Harvard University. \n“My country is an open-air prison\,” says Dieudo Hamadi. In 2015\, the constitution had provided for a least a change of prison warden\, but Joseph Kabila\, president dictator of the Democratic Republic of Congo\, decided to change the constitution. Young people from major cities flood the streets in a protest of unprecedented scale. The film follows three activists in particular: Christian\, Ben and Jean-Marie. In an impressive demonstration of physical courage\, on par with that of his subjects\, Dieudo Hamadi experiences at close range the deadly clashes with police and army\, who shoot with real bullets. But he is also embedded in the daily lives of these young people who receive regular threats and criticism from their families and must face the doubts and fears of a situation of extreme violence that seems unlikely to end. Kinshasa Makambo also reveals the internal debates of these protestors as they seek to extend their movement without succumbing to repression and coercion. Closely inscribed within a particular historical and geographical reality\, this film—whose director makes the unconditional choice throughout to remain next to his protagonists—also reflects more broadly on the forms of political engagement. \nAlthough they share in the same struggle\, the three protagonists do not have the same analysis on how to continue to their fight: one chooses to join an opposition political party\, which\, in spite of its limitations\, represents a possibility of acceding to power; another sticks to his uncompromising opposition to a corrupt system; the third looks to alternative forms of organization for possible answers. Through Hamadi’s lens\, these ideas take shape through words\, looks and gestures in an intensely vital and moving way. \nWe hope you will join us for a reception after the screening of “Kinshasa Makambo” on Friday\, Oct. 4th.

SUMMARY:Atalaku by Dieudo Hamadi at the HFA
DESCRIPTION:Atalaku\nDirected by Dieudo Hamadi.\nDRC/France\, 2013\, DCP\, color\, 60 min.\nLingala and French with English subtitles.\nDCP source: Swank \nDieudo Hamadi is the 2019-20 McMillan-Stewart Fellow in Distinguished Filmmaking at the Film Study Center at Harvard University. \nFilmed during the 2012 elections\, supposedly the first democratic elections since the nation’s independence in 1960\, Atalaku (“Town Criers”) describes with equal vigor the poor functioning of democracy within the country as well as a multiplicity of facets of daily life and human relationships that this circumstance helps reveal. The film follows three central protagonists. The first\, Gaylor\, is an ordinary pastor\, affiliate of a church where he exhorts his parishioners\, endlessly invoking the name of the Lord to convince women in the audience to donate money. He becomes a tout for candidates in the elections\, a “crier” who incites local residents to attend meetings for the political hopefuls who employ him; as he goes through the markets distributing small sums of money\, little electoral arguments entrusted to him by incumbents to the national assembly\, he keeps as much as he can for himself. The second protagonist is an orchestra of some twenty members\, young musicians who rehearse\, argue and get drunk in a vast cemetery. The third is a group of young women who belong to a citizens’ association; they canvas the streets explaining to people why and how to vote and supervise ballot procedure in polling stations. Through these encounters\, Atalaku captures the shameless use of bribes\, as well as the political passion of many citizens\, the misogyny still in force including among “democrats\,” and the force of a clergy imbued with mysticism. The film ends with the riots that stem from an electoral process so clearly marred by numerous irregularities\, and the repression that ensues. But it is the whole of relations to the electoral process that appears as biased\, ineffective and immoral\, even before the fraud that would bring dictator Joseph Kabila back to power. \nPRECEDED BY \nLadies in Waiting\nDirected by Dieudo Hamadi and Divita Wa Lusala.\nDRC/South Africa\, 2009\, 35mm\, color\, 24 min.\nFrench with English subtitles.\nPrint source: Swank \nThe first short in the omnibus Congo en 4 actes\, this film takes place in a maternity ward in Kinshasa—an environment familiar to Hamadi\, who studied medicine before turning his hand to filmmaking. Through the exemplary situation of women who have just given birth\, the film presents in detail the unbearable tension within a dysfunctional society\, marked at once by tremendous poverty and violence (which translates in particular to numerous rapes and children born of these rapes); the unrestrained commoditization of relationships; widespread corruption; and a litigious bureaucracy. Dames en attente focuses on the hospital accountant—whose job it is to collect birthing fees from women who cannot afford to pay—as she pleads a particularly dire case to the administration\, or even attempts to convince the children’s fathers (if they have not disappeared) to foot the bill. As witness to situations—occasionally extreme—that ordinarily remain hidden\, the film develops a rich portrait that refuses to pass judgment; instead\, it makes manifest the endless obstacles and dead-ends within a collective mechanism\, one not limited\, of course\, to maternity wards.

SUMMARY:Examen d'état (National Diploma) by Dieudo Hamadi at the HFA
DESCRIPTION:Examen d’état\n(National Diploma)\nDirected by Dieudo Hamadi.\nDRC/France\, 2014\, DCP\, color\, 92 min.\nDCP source: Icarus Films \nDieudo Hamadi is the 2019-20 McMillan-Stewart Fellow in Distinguished Filmmaking at the Film Study Center at Harvard University. \nThe high school exit examination\, which grants diplomas and allows entrance to university\, is perceived as a passport to a better life. A poor teenage orphan who works in the markets before and after school to survive\, Joël serves as a guide and conduit into the violent\, cynical and unjust world that is the final year of high school. Although they absolutely need\, or think they need\, to attend the last year of high school in order to have a chance on the exam\, the students who cannot afford to pay for the third trimester are ruthlessly excluded. The feeling of injustice is even more acute as many classes from the preceding terms\, for which the students did pay\, never took place: often working without pay\, teachers frequently go on strike. Alongside this administrative confrontation\, multiple magic practices participate in the effort to ensure good results on the exam: Christian priests hawk supposedly salvific benedictions while shamans offer various magic recipes. Students excluded from the school for financial reasons band together to study in an atmosphere also marked by corruption and power struggles. Ultimately\, all are counting on cheating during the exam in order to obtain their diplomas. This organized cheating on a national scale reflects an environment where corruption is the rule\, a rule known and accepted by all even if officials make a big show of their respect for procedure. As it brings these processes to light\, Examen d’état also offers\, through Joël and his classmates\, a series of portraits of some extraordinarily keen young people\, who are capable of mobilizing a wide range of strategic skills in the attempt to reach their goal.

SUMMARY:FSC-Radcliffe Fellows’ Presentation: Fern Silva
DESCRIPTION:Fern Silva’s films juxtapose the structures and industries of globalism. He is drawn to subjects that defy national identity through mythology\, mysticism\, and historical accounts\, and his films consider uncanny and animistic approaches to narrative\, ethnographic\, and documentary filmmaking as the starting point for structural experimentation. \n  \nAt Radcliffe\, Silva is editing his first feature film\, Sacred Sights. As lava continues to flow from Kilauea on the island of Hawaii—posing an imminent danger—an existential crisis mounts for native Hawaiians: astronomers plan to build the world’s largest telescope on the burial grounds of their most sacred and revered ancestors. Based on ancient Hawaiian mythology and the observatory’s ability to teach us about the origins of our own galaxy\, Sacred Sights serves as a sonic and visual representation of this complex dichotomy. \n  \nSilva’s body of film\, video\, and projection work has been exhibited at various venues\, including the Berlin\, Hong Kong\, Locarno\, London\, New York\, Rotterdam\, and Toronto film festivals; Anthology Film Archives; Centre Pompidou; Cinemateca Boliviana; MoMA PS1; Museo de Arte de Lima; Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; and the New Museum. His work has been featured in publications including Cinema Scope\, Film Comment\, Filmmaker magazine\, and Senses of Cinema. He has received support from the Jerome Foundation\, the MacDowell Colony\, the New York State Council on the Arts\, and the Wexner Center for the Arts. A faculty member at Bennington College\, he received his BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and his MFA from Bard College.

SUMMARY:FSC-Radcliffe Fellows’ Presentation: Ja'Tovia Gary
DESCRIPTION:Ja’Tovia Gary is currently at work on her debut feature-length documentary film\, tentatively titled “The Evidence of Things Not Seen\,” which explores notions of family\, memory\, and ancestral inheritance. \n  \nGary is an artist and filmmaker living and working in Brooklyn\, New York. Her work seeks to liberate the distorted histories through which black life is often viewed while fleshing out a nuanced and multivalent black interiority. Through documentary film\, experimental video\, and installation\, Gary charts the ways structures of power shape our perceptions around representation\, race\, gender\, sexuality\, and violence. \n  \nGary earned her MFA in social documentary filmmaking from the School of Visual Arts\, in New York City. Her work has screened at such festivals as the Ann Arbor Film Festival\, the Edinburgh International Film Festival\, Frameline\, Inside Out\, and the New Orleans Film Festival. Gary’s work is part of the Whitney Museum of American Art’s permanent collection and has been exhibited at cultural institutions worldwide\, including the Brooklyn Museum; Goldsmiths\, University of London; the Hammer Museum; the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston; MoMA PS1; the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles; the Museum of Modern Art; NYU Florence; and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. Her work has received support from DOC Society\, the Jerome Foundation\, and Sundance Institute. In 2016\, Gary participated in the Terra Summer Residency program\, in Giverny\, France. Filmmaker magazine recently named her among its 25 New Faces of Independent Film 2017.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Anocha Suwichakornpong
DESCRIPTION:By the Time It Gets Dark (Dao khanong) \nDirected by Anocha Suwichakornpong. With Arak Amornsupasiri\, Apinya Sakuljaroensuk\, Achtara Suwan\nThailand 2016\, DCP\, color\, 105 min. Thai with English subtitles. Free Admission. \n  \nPlease join us for an evening with Film Study Center fellow and VES visiting faculty member Anocha Suwichakornpong. Anocha will be present for a post screening Q&A and reception following the film. Co-sponsored by The Film Study Center\, The Visual and Environmental Studies Department\, and the Thai Studies Program. \n  \n“Suwichakornpong’s new film bravely tackles a subject long taboo for Thai artists and writers: the Thammasat University Massacre of 1976\, in which a still-unconfirmed number of protesting students were brutally murdered by the military. Rather than a head-on confrontation with the horrific incident\, however\, By the Time It Gets Dark takes a more nuanced and digressive path\, interweaving the seemingly disconnected stories of a filmmaker researching the massacre together with those of a young pop star and a melancholy maid who drifts enigmatically throughout the film. What unites these different characters\, Suwichakornpong seems to suggest\, is the still-pulsing trauma of history that has been denied yet not forgotten. In its lyrical interweaving of character narrative and documentary interludes\, and in its pixel-imploding ending\, By the Time It Gets Dark goes further still by suggesting the limits of the dizzying image world that we increasingly inhabit and the ways in which cinema might give a safe place for local histories and personal memories to be kept alive.” – Haden Guest\, Harvard Film Archive \n  \n“A head-spinning tour de force … elliptically political\, frequently perplexing\, yet fluid enough in its possibilities to allow each viewer to divine their own meanings from its quicksilver forms” – Mark Kermode\, The Guardian
