silent green presents

In the context of Breathing Matter(s), Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing-Taylor have selected two films for this evening, which they would like to share and discuss with the audience.


Old Believers
An impressionistic and poetic picture of a group of descendants from the Russian Orthodox Church living in the Danube Delta in what is now Romania. Nothing has changed here in the last 150 years and we can witness the scenes of their everyday life, beliefs and rituals. Guardian angels still protect people here and a man walking on the moon is the ultimate utopia…

Partition
Partition fuses archival footage from the British occupation of Palestine with audio recorded of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, tracing lines of continuity left by seismic displacement. Silent films gathered in imperial collections hold histories that have barely been told, and ways of colonial seeing that seep into the present; Partition uses dialectical montage and asynchronous sound to examine both. Recovering Palestinian presence through story, voice and song, unraveling colonial pasts through soundscapes of the precarious present, Partition is a meditation on what bodies remember and empires forget.
