Reflets / Portrait / La Lettre / Le Vieux cimetière juif

This screening of short films focuses on films based on the portrait in the

pictorial sense and the means of depicting the past. Reflets uses a literal and

profound device to provoke a gripping dialogue between the Sarajevo of recent

war and the present day. Portrait places men and women of rural Russia before

the camera and permeates each sequence with the vibrations of the landscapes

and the soul of these beings. Le Vieux Cimetière Juif reveals how the tragic

fate of thousands of Jews during the Second World War haunts the seemingly

tranquil landscape of a Riga suburb.
