Director: Jean-Gabriel Périot
France, 2018, 96’, color, b&w
French with Turkish, English subtitle
In his latest film, French director Jean-Gabriel Périot, celebrated for his short video works which occupy a special place between documentary, animation and experimental, sets off to find an answer to the question, “where do we stand vis-à-vis politics in France today, in 2018?” and questions our contemporary political condition by involving ten French high school students in a unique cinematic “filmplay”. The selected students restage scenes from films from 1968 and Our Defeats intersperses the results with short interviews with students. The film asks the question, “Do we keep enough forces to confront ourselves with the chaos of today?” while building a topical, poetic, critical, and political narrative that maintains its “film about a film” structure.
Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
