01/03, 7pm and 9pm – CINEMATEK, Brussels Manon de Boer & Latifa Laâbissi – Ghost Party (2) Reservation of seat via CINEMATEK’s website Language: French, English
In Ghost Party (2) (2022, 58′), Manon de Boer and Laâbissi create little fictions with vases, stones and other materials, while giving voice to texts of ‘ghosts’ from their shared genealogies, like Marguerite Duras, Serge Daney, Casey and Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. In this polyphony of voices and accents their beings blend with others, subtly questioning the politics of language and identity. The film is produced by Auguste Orts & Figure Project and supported by Flanders Audiovisual Fund, Vlaamse Gemeenschap, WIELS, FRACBretagne, Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens, kunstencentrum BUDA, Kunstmuseum [removed], Jan Mot, On & For Production and Distribution, Friends of Auguste Orts Fund, KASK & Conservatorium.
At 9pm there will also be the premiere of Persona (2022, 31′), a film based on Écran Somnambule, a performance by Latifa Laâbissi (2012) in turn based on the film “Mary Wigman tanzt” (1930), an excerpt of “La Danse de la sorcière” (1926). This second screening will furthermore include two films by Chantal Akerman Portrait d’une paresseuse (1986, 8’) and J’ai faim, j’ai froid (1984, 13’).
