The Ev

5 members of a 3rd rate marching band goes off for a gig. They are driving along a rough road in the Moscow region, in a hopelessly tattered old minibus. They exchange glances with one another, each musician clearly battered by life. Not one of them suspects that this mundane trip for some extra cash will unexpectedly force each and everyone one of them to reconnect with their essence.

The film begins with closing of the oldest prison in Latvia – the Brasa Prison was built in 1905 and cannot ensure normal functioning. Inmates are leaving the place that has long been their only home. Our protagonists reside in Ward 207. They have really inhabited it – there is even a fish tank in the ward! They are not from a different planet. Humanity of the inmates may contrast with their records of committed crimes. All have their small pleasures and big plans. All are longing for changes and being afraid of them. Likewise, the term of imprisonment is running out for several of our protagonists. They are getting ready for life at large. They know how to survive in extreme circumstances but are unprepared for living a normal life. One’s return to the big world is one of the most accentuated marginal situations.

The newsreel consists of four stories. The first one is about the collection of ancient wind-up dolls collected by the head of the Moscow Puppet Theater S.V. Obraztsov.

The fourth is about a polar bear and her four cubs. All stories are represented by puppets.

Thoughts, sometimes just numbers, reach us from offscreen almost like music, like a mantra or a prayer. What we see are circular fragments from familiar spaces: a mirror, a magnifying glass. A day like any other day: without medication, or perhaps better with? A film like the investigation of an uncertainty principle: do we really see better with a magnifying glass? A face scratched out of the family album: the gap is draped with flowers and cut-out pictures of clothes and finally filled again by a drawing.

In 1918, two important events took place in the City of Buenos Aires: an unexpected snowfall and the visit of Dadaist star Marcel Duchamp. The artist who dared to paint a moustache on the Mona Lisa touched Buenos Aires soil, getting around the restrictions of World War I and having as his only contact with the other members of the movement the handwritten letters in which he described the strange customs of the Argentinians. Through the endless possibilities of fiction, Everything I See Is Mine reconstructs Duchamp's days among visits to the Palermo lakes and the ritual of mate.

What is history? What is personal history? In this film shot twice, once in 2008 and once in 2019, things get personal. Things get messy. What is the relationship between the past and the present. Can it reveal something important about the future?

At the time of the conversation Heiner Müller was the president of the Academy of Arts - East. At the beginning he describes his daily routine to Kluge. He is an unwilling president who has to lead an academy - which will soon be absorbed into a "European Artists Society" - at a time of upheaval. As he is describing the only functional and innovative part of the academy, the "Music Section" that trains master's students, he starts talking about how he almost became a master's student of Brecht. In retrospect he is glad that he missed this chance and escaped Brecht's powerful influence, which took away the individual creative space of his collaborators. Müller describes how he got by with various jobs during his application period and afterwards in 1951: book reviewer, translator of Stalinist songs. When Kluge asks about the basic concept of an academy, the discussion returns to its starting point: Müller claims that the academy is a space that is free from the state.

Close-ups of lovers caressing and images of nearly motionless nude males are presented as a collage. A young man feverishly comments upon le mal d’amour by confronting desire and disappointment, including moments of his everyday life and moments which occur in a dream-like state. This results in an opposition between the primitive simplicity of sexuality and the complexity of love to which we traditionally associate it. This work focuses upon the omnipresence of sexuality and its inevitable changes and ramifications in long-term relationships.

A diaristic work told in episodes, ‘Every Film’ traces the various homes the filmmaker comes across or concocts - both tangible and intangible in his two years as a student in Ghent, Belgium. In that brief duration of time which coincided with the global pandemic, he had to move between three completely different housing setups - a subletting situation, the cheapest AirBnB in town and eventually a student house. As much as the film is an intimate glimpse of the filmmaker`s encounters with various people, places and memories while away from home, it also becomes a fleeting document of the various quirks of cohabitation in Belgium when looked at from an outsider’s point of view.
