Pier Paolo Pasolini plays the role of the director as conveyor of
human experience. The director is constantly watching, thinking,
feeling... all in hopes that the film, once it stands alone, will be
sufficient and whole. And on him is the burden of describing through
image and sound the human experience.

The artist films herself and develops the use of camera as an
extension of the moving body. Three parts correspond to three phases
in a transforming process from obsessive and complacent mind activity
towards the abandon to the dance.

A Day Will Come My Future Will Be Your Past |

A day will come my future will be your past’ makes you experience
time through a contemporary tale about the friendship between two
middle-aged women. In the story they get trapped in a wormhole between
the first and last moment they met. The film starts with the
encounter of two young girls; Ona and Cecilia, in the serene setting
of a park. They talk about Martin, a boy they are both in love with.
However, what we hear next tells a different story. Their
conversation, at first innocent and banal, shifts to contemplations
about shared memories, present observations and future thoughts they
have seemingly already experienced. This concept of time experience is
also treated in the subject of their conversation "I wonder, why can I
remember my past, but not remember my future?", one of the girls asks.
Then, the film itself becomes part of the narrative. ‘The fourth
wall', so to speak, is pulled away when the illusion, fed by an
extensive stylizing (an idyllic setting, attractive young people, soft
colours and delicate music) is shattered; the voices of the girls
appear to be dubbed in a recording studio. The conversation feels
unnatural and the directors do little effort to conceal this. Although
the viewer chooses to forget, he is constantly reminded that
everything is staged. With the three contrasting film genres; fiction,
documentary and making of, handled in the film, the directors create
an extensive web of layers. The viewer is invited to construct the
storyline himself, shifting between these genres, giving significance
and meaning to the story the protagonists move through.

Les courts métrages venant du monde entier seront évalués par un jury international. Le festival sélectionnera des films qui traitent d'un sujet important d’une manière originale : des films souvent ambigus, complexes, énigmatiques, et qui invitent à la réflexion ; ces films exceptionnels , d’une esthétique nouvelle , nous font percevoir l’inquiétante étrangeté du monde moderne.
