Initiation
Initiation

Teboho Edkins

2016 / 0:11:00

High in the mountains of Lesotho, Mosaku is anxiously awaiting the return of his older brother from an initiation ceremony. The initiates spend 5 months in a remote secrete location. What rituals are performed is known only to those who have taken part. But when the boys return, they are grown men. Initiation is a video work in which I take a scene of an existing film of mine, re-work it with unused footage and shift perspective to that of the younger brother, whereby it becomes an autonomous work. My voice and an old photograph of me as a white child growing up in Lesotho intervene as disturbing elements, simultaneously creating intimacy and distance. Contradictions, notions of identity and fantasy come to the surface.

20 - 22 Décembre 2016

Le FISDN présente des films classés par sections provenant de pays et de régions différents. Cette section à pour but de faire découvrir et d’explorer différents espaces et cultures avec pour objectif de comprendre les circonstances régionales, politiques et sociales, de reconstruire les spécificités émotionnelles et intellectuelles d’une région ou d’un pays en particulier. Dans ce travail critique, nous pensons que c’est essentiel de choisir des films qui remettent en question par leurs formes et leurs expressions les stéréotypes habituels qui reconstituent une réalité ou un mode de vie. Ce refus est un acte de résistance contre la période actuelle de “globalisation“, qui pousse à penser un model de domination des cultures mais aussi des habitudes.
