Territoires cinématographiques is a dialogue between live performance and cinema, devised in collaboration with Utopia cinemas in Avignon. It’s a daily programme of film screenings, after which the public meet and talk with theatre artists, choreographers, filmmakers, activists, critics and journalists invited to the Festival d’Avignon. This space explores the intimate relationships that these guests maintain between disciplines and with the world. It’s a place to take a broader look at the themes brought to the stage, the territories of the guest language and by the Café des idées.
Haunted
By Liwaa Yazji // Syria - Germany - Lebanon // Documentary // 2014 // 1h57 // Original version with French subtitles
Displaced, tossed about, unresolved. Whilst respecting a sensitive proximity to the protagonists of her film, in Damascus, Beirut or the camps of Lebanon, Liwaa Jazji explores the painful subject of exile and its repercussions: the loss of a household, of memories, of an entire life’s objects. Beyond mere survival is the question of the imperceptible sentiment of belonging and that unfathomable sense of identity.
Screening followed by a discussion with Liwaa Yazji.
Moderated by Hugues le Tanneur, journalist at Transfuge.
