Palestine: Story of a Land

Using only rare archival and newsreel footage, this film tells the story of Palestine from the nineteenth century through current times.

Bram Van Velde

Bram Van Velde in his workshop then in his Grimaud garden in the company of a friend and during a walk in Paris in the snow, talking about his life and painting. Showing little interest for the Real, he makes an effort toward the invisible. He pays homage to his mother who lived with her children in the greatest poverty, talks of his meeting with Samuel Beckett and says that starting a painting is a great adventure. This portrait of Bram Van Velde (born in Holland in 1895) is illustrated by his drawings and watercolours.

The Bakery Girl of Monceau

Early new wave effort from Rohmer, which was the first of his six moral tales. It concerns a young man who approaches a girl in the street, but after several days without seeing her again, he becomes involved with the girl in the local bakery. Eventually, he has to choose between them when he arranges dates with them on the same day.

L’Orchestre Noir

Investigations carried out over 20 years on the attacks in Italy in the late 1960s, particularly the Piazza Fontana bombing, leading to the accusation of the extreme left. Ultimately, a collaboration between the Italian secret services and the CIA had created a paramilitary organisation inspired by the Greek colonels of the ‘67 coup, designed to halt the “communist threat”.
