L'Ange Amazonien. Un portrait de Lena Vandrey
other title: L'Ange Amazonien / L'Ange Amazonien. Un portrait de Lena Vandrey
This filmic portrait is born of a double movement: the meeting of Lena Vandrey with our cinematographic universe, our meeting with her pictorial world, her space and her collection of processional figures and articulated dolls. Crossings of imaginations, of mythologies: the South, the origins, the search for a “greecity”, the search for the magical potential of the image, the feminine one as “force in love”. Crossings of plastic gestures: one on canvas support, the other on photographic and filmic support. We invited the artist to become herself body-painting, filmed painting. We have staged her texts, her paintings, her objects, her space. Attempt to reveal it as an embodiment of its own mythology. ×
Selva. A Portrait of Parvaneh Navaï (1983) [Movie] TMDB IMDb Douban
Selva. Un portrait de Parvaneh Navaï
director: Maria Klonaris actor: Parvaneh Navaï
other title: 热带雨林与帕瓦内·纳瓦伊的肖像 / Selva. Un portrait de Parvaneh Navaï
Trance dances and out of body projection. In front of the camera, Parvaneh Navaï becomes a mediator who enters in contact with and immerses into the energies of Nature, while her own energy radiates and echos in the forest ("selva"). The camera amplifies and expands her presence, transforming the forest into an imaginary space. The camera becomes a painter's brush.
