Cinéma Invisible - The Book
THE NETHERLANDS/2005/Dutch/Color, B&W/Video/73min
Director: Kees Hin
Our navigator is a woman who visits a bookshop in search of a collection of unfilmed screenplays, “Anthologie du Cinema Invisible,” that was published to celebrate the first centenary of cinema. From these 100 unrealized works, the essence of ten projects are selected to be presented in this film. Excerpts from Chaplin and Clouzot, Zazie dans le metro, Battleship Potemkin and more are combined to create this fantasy documentary film with an infectious playful spirit. A work that pays homage to all cinema.

The Things That We Shouldn't Do
KOREA/2003/Korean/Color, B&W/Video/5min
Director: Kim Kyungman
In Mad Minutes, testimonials from families of victims massacred by the Korean army during the Vietnam War as well as from former Korean soldiers recall memories of war in the face of Korean involvement in Iraq. The Things That We Shouldn’t Do takes Korean militarism sarcastically. This cheerful archival documentary was made to oppose the Korean military’s participation in attacking Iraq.

In the Lebanese film, the last days of cafe Modca, which once stood at the center of people’s lives in Beirut. The film takes on the challenge of embedding the collective memory of the withering city. In Thailand, two archival documentaries, on a northern Thai ethnic minority group in the 1960s and the crackdown of students at Thammasat University in 1976, are combined to project "truth."
