Tiramisu

2011 • 47 min

Speachless Flower. That lonely flower cannot help telling you that it lies. They are of tenderness but of secrets, of passions but of estrangement, of embraces but of confrontations. Three flowery boys, beautiful, but paralyzed in seeing their perishment. The ambiguous love raises imagined woman as protection; the body of lust offered as a comfort is soon held as captive of sentiments, thrown among ruins. The love is as undistinguishable as the hatred. My offering, can it ask for a receipt? Your departure, can I call an emergency? During the short stay in our life journey, I reserved one lamplight in my chest, leaving the other dying nowhere. In search for that lying flower, which survives, but speechless.

Mashina: The Machine

2011 • 59 min

The film documents the members of the "Meshina" band, one of the most prominent bands active in Israel, in their late forties, in the 25th year of the band's activity and in the midst of intense joint creative work that includes a concert tour in Israel and preparations for a new album ("Diamonds in the Sky"). The film reveals the band's relationship with the Israeli music industry, as well as the band's internal politics and the complex professional and personal relationships between its members.

Cameroun : Sortir du Nkuta?

2011 • 52 min

"Coming out of Nkuta" is the Cameroonian equivalent of our "coming out". This documentary, directed by Céline Metger, deals with homosexuality in Cameroon. What a shock to learn that homosexuality is penalized in Cameroon and to see men in prison for the sole reason of being homosexual. We follow the struggle of Alice, a lawyer who fights for the cause of homosexuals and for the revision of the criminal law. The director devoted two years of her life to this documentary. She quickly established links with gays and lesbians. The documentary is both revolting by the treatment inflicted on homosexuals and endearing by the confidences of these men and women rejected by Cameroonian society. And what courage to have accepted to testify openly!

Prick

2011 • 3 min

Experimental and political video art piece based on the poem 'Prick' by American poet Ed Madden, that uses the image of Saint Sebastian to explore the attacks of the Conservatives on the LGBT community. The word prick acquires a deeper definition especially when teenagers commit suicide after nasty words are being thrown at them like arrows. But like Sebastian, who actually survived his ordeal, things will get better when we expose and deal with these people for what they are: bigots.
