Film Loin

Robert Lepage’s dreamlike production, with its thousands of twinkling LED lights stretching across the stage to represent the sea, encapsulates the mystic feeling of L’Amour de Loin, Saariaho’s haunting opera of distant love. Eric Owens is Jaufré Rudel, a troubadour in 12th century France who has become tired of his hedonistic life and longs for an idealized love. Enter the Pilgrim (Tamara Mumford) who tells him his perfect love does, in fact, exist, far across the sea. She is Clémence, Countess of Tripoli (Susanna Phillips). The magic of the characters’ inner lives as they explore the meaning of love, longing, life, and death is heightened by Saariaho’s hypnotic and bewitching score, conducted by Susanna Mälkki.

Hanoi 2003. A woman does her hair at night. A train passes between the houses. A crowd rushes by jostling, working. A forgotten child waits.

The house is at 9 bis, Old Landerneau Road, at the top of the Donegal. No, the owner won't be doing the viewings, because he is no longer there, but there is someone who knows the place very well.

During the war in Beirut, the studio of painter Samir Khaddaje became inaccessible, under the rubble. At the end of the sixteen-year conflict, Samir Khaddaje decided to leave. “Far from Beirut” is a tribute to this angry man who continues his work, far from home, haunted, no doubt, by the memory of images of destruction. Based on photographs of the disaster, real or invented images, “Far from Beirut” is a film without words, about the creative act that appears derisory, but is oh so vital to fight against the forgetting of a war that has already been relegated. to television archives by other conflicts.

With the support of short interviews with employees from the Lyon and Paris regions (Conflans Sainte-Honorine), as well as that of Pierre Sarger, architect and urban planner from Ivry, who discusses its transformation into a dormitory town, this program addresses the thorny issue of public transport for workers far from their workplace. Travel time, comfort in transport, its cost, its frequency, walking, all elements that harm the quality of life of employees and considerably limit their free time: this is because working conditions are almost as important as the work itself. The film includes beautiful shots of urban traffic (buses, suburban trains, cars), or pedestrians, and crowds walking, either in the street, in the metro, or leaving factories.

Out Of This World is an American fantasy sitcom about a teenage girl who is half alien, which gives her unique supernatural powers. It first aired in syndication from September 17, 1987 and ended on May 25, 1991. During its first season, the series was originally part of NBC's Prime Time Begins at 7:30 campaign, in which the network's owned-and-operated stations would run first-run sitcoms in the 7:30-8 pm time slot to counterprogram competing stations' game shows, sitcom reruns and other offerings. Out of This World was rotated with the original series Marblehead Manor and She's the Sheriff, a syndicated revival of the 1983 sitcom We Got It Made, and a television adaptation of the play You Can't Take It With You. NBC ended the experiment after the 1987-88 season due to the low ratings put up by three of the series, with Out of This World being one of the two that was renewed. After its first season the series was largely moved to weekend time slots, where it remained until its cancellation following the fourth season.
