Wishing You the Same
Title: Wishing You the Same
Released: September 5, 2019
Type: Movie
The iconic book ”Europeana: A Brief History of the Twentieth Century” by Patrik Ouředník, first published in 2001, thanks to the imagination of the French filmmaker has transformed into an apocalyptic chronicle of the last century. A straightforward testimony of scientific rationality, which led the society to a spiritual crisis and resulted in six genocides, is accompanied with melancholic Mahlerian echoes of La Belle Époque when the world was just getting ready for the century that negated all humanity. The film raises the question whether Europe in post-history and post-humanity, sweetly anaesthetized to collective unconsciousness, will pretend as if nothing had happened.

Title: The Outbursts (My Mouth, My Revolt, My Name)
Released: December 5, 2012
Type: Movie
This film is composed of fragments escaped from Qu’ils reposent en révolte (Des figures de Guerres).

For a map of the violence inflicted on migrants, the repetition of the colonial movement, and the unacceptability of the “world as it is”.
