Trecho (Passage)

Clarissa Campolina & Helvécio Marins Jr. (BR)

2006 / 16’00” / o.v. Portuguese / English subt.

Libério leaves his home in Pernambuco without any reason nor goal and begins walking along the highways of Brazil. Trecho tracks the man on his journey. A dreamy piece about uselessness, endlessness and timelessness.

Wangque De Yitian

(a day to remember)

Liu Wei (CN)

2005 / 13’00” / o.v. Chinese / English subt.

On the 4th June 2005 Chinese filmmaker Liu Wei took his camera and headed for the university of Beijing and Tiananmen Square. He asked students and young people which day it was. Many were able to tell that it was the 16th anniversary of the student uprising, but refused to answer further questions. A serene documentary about a persistent taboo.
