So, still digging?

Camille, a young French climatologist, has a string of research contracts at the French National Center for Scientific Research. But understanding how the climate itself works and only drawing curves announcing future catastrophes on a screen are no longer enough for her. She decides to get closer to the lands and the peoples, all as far away as close to her research laboratory. The journey she undertakes in China, Polynesia, Mali, and Ile de France where her laboratory is located, will allow her to discover that solutions to the climate crisis already exist. She will then be led to make a personal decision, unexpected but logical.

A POSTERIORI

The film A POSTERIORI (2023), 3 min., colour, sound.
A Posteriori (Latin, ‘from the later’) - knowledge derived from experience (Encyclopaedia Britannica/philosophy).
The film delves into some complex themes: the mystery of creation; the line between God and man; the global crisis of values, faith and religion; power and hypocrisy; the church mired in scandals and contradictions.
The above concepts are examined in this three minutes film. Diverse visual styles have been intertwined, separate shots are linked together not by their literal continuity in reality but by symbolic association - as metaphors. This provides an opportunity to not only show different conclusions on the screen, but to also create symbolic meanings and metaphors that go outside the context of the film.
The playful representation of existential topics invites the viewer to draw from their own memory and emotional recognition, stimulating their intellectual reflexivity and perception. It allows for the process of co-creation by inviting the spectator’s imagination to build a unique interpretation.

Silent Rhythm

This short documentary explores the relationship dancers have with music, especially when none of the dancers can hear the music. The Gallaudet Dance Company is home to a small dance studio that pushes the meaning of dance beyond the scope of sound. This year marked a specific turning point for the program, as half the dancers are graduating, their dance company director Sue Gill-Doleac is also retiring after 44 years.
Family, community, and deaf culture are the major themes that are explored as the dancers and their director prepare for their last spring concert and life after Gallaudet.

Shamanic Journey (Continuous Mix)

Now follow us as we transition from the rainforests of “A Tutu Pele Goddess” and submerge our consciousness in our underwater journey which will take us through the undersea ruins of the ancient continent of Lemuria as we commune with the natural and mystical beings that dwell in this magical realm. Now this classic performance by the late, great, GRAMMY® Award winning, master cellist, David Darling, in dialogue with the whales and the Lemurian cosmos, returns to us in a newly released & remastered soundtrack and music film.
Finally, in Movement III, Shaman Journey, we emerge with our totem animal Spirits from the mystical seascape of Lemuria to the Western dream lodges of North America and to the Southern realm of the Maya, Inca and Extraterrestrial whispers.
This classic, masterful performance by the late, great legendary flautist, Paul Horn, in his unique, Inside sacred spaces style, returns to us in this newly released & remastered soundtrack and music film.
