Unfinished movie
José Antonio Maenza, Maya Deren and Serguéi Paradjanov.
Program: Special sessions.
The history of cinema is also written with its unfulfilled promises.
What is the status of an unfinished film?
Ruin, fragment, dream?
You can study the genealogy of a work, its genetics, its production context, but also the power of its promises. How to present these fragments if not with a performance?
This session proposes several examples to reflect on the status of unfinished or incomplete films: Hortensia/Béance (José Antonio Maenza, 1969), Witch's Cradle (Maya Deren, 1943) and elements of Sayat Nova's brutes (Serguei Paradjanov, 1968).
