Jeonju Digital Project 2000 - 2008 Collection
Previously focused on Asian directors, Jeonju Digital Project 2007 takes a look at Europe. The Portuguese filmmaker Pedro Costa, the German filmmaker Harun Farocki, and the French filmmaker Eugene Green participated in this project.
Correspondances | Eugene Green | France | Drama | 39min
Virgile and Blanche, who are both seventeen years old, exchange e-mails in their rooms. Virgile likes Blanche, but Blanche likes a boy named Eustache. However, they don’t know each other’s thoughts. Virgile talks about life and death, and Blanche accepts it. Eustache, wearing a blue hat, walks in. He first goes to Virgile, and then to Blanche. At that moment, Blanche remembers that she had danced with Virgile, and goes out of her room to meet him.
The Rabbit Hunters | Pedro Costa | Portugal | Documentary | 23min
Fontain is a lost community, a shanty-town on the outskirts of Lisbon. This film shows the day-by-day stories of the residents eager for the new, better life announced with its promises of warm comfort and economic growth. We see characters like Virgilio who asks himself if he really needs another refrigerator, Benvindo and Maria who break-up and Isabel who can’t take it anymore.
I’m afraid of writing about my idea for this work because my experience with my improvisation method tells with me that, in the end, the film might be something completely opposite.
Respite | Harun Farocki | Czech Republic | Documentary | 40min
Respite is set in Westerbork, a transit camp for deportees to Bergen-Belsen and Auschwitz. Powerful images are captured after the SS officer Gemmeker ordered production of a film about the camp. An inmate, the German- born Jew Breslauer, filmed scenes of work, leisure and a train leaving for the death camps with a 16mm camera.
