Artist: Gurwann Tran Van Gie
France, 60’, 2015
French with Turkish subtitles
Gurwann Tran Van Gie has had a most unusual journey, to say the least. Hypnotist by training, he is also a director and actor who regularly works for radio and television, where he likes to create funny and poetic characters. At times he combines his artistic creation with his practice of Ericksonian hypnosis, developed in the United States by Milton Erickson. Gurwann Tran Van Gie tackles the complex subject of people’s integrity, contemplating the integrity of four people interrogated under hypnosis.
The director will be present at the March 12 screening.
1638, the year Louis XIV was born –his second name, Dieudonné, alluding to his God-given status– saw the diffusion of a cult of maternity encouraged by the very devout Anne of Austria, in thanks for the miracle by which she had given birth to an heir to the French throne. Simon François de Tours (1606-1671) painted the Queen in the guise of the Virgin Mary, and the young Louis XIV as the infant Jesus, in the allegorical portrait now in the Bishop’s Palace at Sens.
