THE EULOGY OF LAZINESS

Pauline Le Goïc (Rennes, France)

 

"The eulogy of laziness" is a performative "non-action" in the street. It comes to cause interference on the wild rhythm of our megalopolises by proposing a ruling in the city. In a hammock fastened to the street furniture, a lazy person relaxes, anaesthetized by the excitement of the place.

AMERICANO

Carlos Ferrand (dir.), 110 min, 2007, original version with French subtitles

 

Director Carlos Ferrand proposes a road movie through the Americas, from Patagonia to the Arctic, passing through Chile, Mexico, the United States.  In this personal, at the same time poetic, anthropological and activist tour, he “takes the pulse of the Americas,” questioning social, political and cultural upheavals, which exist today from north to south on this continent.  He gives voice to men and women he has developed a friendship with over 30 years of wandering.  Americano starts with an intimate vision and uses it to approach universal topics with a passionate glance.  Image prize at Rencontres Internationales du documentaire de Montréal.
