Filming among the Hamar

1988

I've often been asked how I came to take part in Robert Gardner's films in Hamar. What do I think of his film Rivers of Sand and how has working with him influenced the concept of ethnography in my films, Der Sprung uber die Rinder (The Leap Across the Cattle), Der Herr der Ziegen (The Father of the Goats), and Gesang der Hamar Hirten (The Hamar Herdsman and his Music). I've tried to answer these questions and to explain how Jean Rouch and the cinema verite have also influenced me. My films were shot in strict collaboration with the Hamar, determining the choice of themes, collective efforts in the production of the films, and in their analysis.

Visualising political thinking on the screen : a dialogue between von Trotta’s Hannah Arendt and its protagonist

2016

This article analyses Margarethe von Trotta’s film Hannah Arendt: The Woman Who Saw Banality in Evil through its protagonist’s own writings on visual culture, visibility and invisibility in the context of political thinking. We start by clarifying Arendt’s understanding of political theory as an activity aiming to provoke thinking. We then discuss systematically the visual language of the film and offer a typology of its representations of political thinking, subdivided into a part on internalisation and one on externalisation (dialogue). We emphasise von Trotta’s reliance on a negative approach, i.e. the representation of thinking through the absence of any other activity while thinking, c…

Decolonizing Othello in search of black feminist North American identities: Djanet Sears' Harlem duet and Toni Morrison's Desdemona

2017

<p>The plays <em>Harlem duet </em>(1997) by African Canadian playwright Djanet Sears and <em>Desdemona </em>(2012) by Toni Morrison signify upon European texts aiming to carve out a new definition of what it means to be black in North America. Therefore both texts make for interesting reading in the study of (black) identity construction within US and Canadian contexts for, by revising Shakespeare’s <em>Othello</em>, they rethink and rewrite a social and racial reality unrelentingly disrupted by difference and hybridity. Sears’ play establishes a specific reading of Canadianness in dialogue with African America to erect a possibility of healing and …

Miradas oblicuas : infancias, paisajes y comunidades interrumpidas en el cine de Dominga Sotomayor

2020

Dominga Sotomayor propone, en De jueves a domingo (2012), Mar (2014) y Tarde para morir joven (2018), exploraciones de la intimidad de una familia, una pareja y una comunidad. En estos acercamientos, la intimidad se configura en grados variables de tensión con el afuera y lo público. En estas oscilaciones se pone en evidencia una de las características más recurrentes y estudiadas del cine chileno contemporáneo: la conversión de la intimidad en el locus sobre el que se proyectan, de manera indirecta, los conflictos del pasado y el presente. Este artículo considera la forma en que el cine de Sotomayor se inscribe en el panorama actual del cine chileno y, a través de él, en su escenario socio…

Brian Friel in Spain: An Off-Centre Love Story

2021

Spanish theatres are not prolific in the staging of Irish playwrights. However, the Northern Irish writer Brian Friel (1929-2015) has been a curious exception, his plays having been performed in different cities in Spain since William Layton produced Amantes: vencedores y vencidos (Lovers: Winners and Losers) in 1972. The origin of Friel's popularity in this country may be attributed to what many theatre directors and audiences considered to be a parallel political situation between post-colonial Ireland and the historical peripheral communities with a language other than Spanish: Catalonia, the Basque Country and Galicia; the fact is that the number of Catalan directors who have staged wor…

Città Invisibili of Teatro Potlach: A Journey to Rediscover Our Cultural Heritage

2017

Città Invisibili is a multidisciplinary art project made by the Italian company Teatro Potlach. Compared to the canonical theatrical performances, Città Invisibili, being in its essence a site-specific performance, interacts with the place where it grows. With the project, the Italian group builds next to the existing space of the place (physical space and memory space) other two spaces, the space of the staging and the space of the performer, using different materials, in particular cloths and video projections. Moreover Teatro Potlach conducts a historical, anthropological and social research trying to bring out the latent memory of places. All these interventions bring out from the place…
