Villa Medici Film Festival
2024
11.09 - 15.09.2024
The Villa Medici Film Festival took place from September 11 to 15, 2024 for its fourth edition! Since its creation in 2021, Villa Medici Film Festival has explored the links between cinema and contemporary art, setting out to discover new filmic writing. The fourth edition of the festival took place from September 11 to 15, 2024, and cultivates a pioneering spirit by encouraging encounters between plural works that question, disrupt, divert or re-enchant our relationship with images.
Program
The Festival is divided into three sections: International Competition, Focus and Piazzale Evenings.
International Competition films
The festival highlights twelve films presented in competition, of various lengths and genres (documentary, fiction, essay), created in 2023-2024 by artists and filmmakers whose works stand out for their unique perspective or form. The screenings of the competitive films take place during the day, in the presence of the directors, in the Michel Piccoli cinema and in the Grand Salon of the Villa Medici.
Screenings marked with the symbol # will be followed by a Q&A session with the director.

Or, more precisely, what is a mouth?” The only thing he is sure of is that he is dead. The first and last hippopotamus killed in the Americas.

CARTES BLANCHES
3 carte blanches to the jury members: Clément Cogitore, Rasha Salti, and Vimala Pons
The carte blanches invite the public to enter the cinematic and artistic universe of jury members Clément Cogitore, Rasha Salti, and Vimala Pons during a unique session, featuring films selected from their own body of work, others that have inspired them, or those they wish to (re)discover with us.
– CARTES BLANCHE // CLÉMENT COGITORE
Artist filmmaker Clément Cogitore has proposed a dialogue between his documentary film, Braguino, and a short film shot on film by English artist Ben Rivers, Origin of the Species. This portrait of a singular septuagenarian living in an isolated area of Inverness County, accompanied only by Darwin and his theories, intertwines with that of a family that has chosen a secluded life in the forests of Siberia. It is about inventing autonomous ways of living, relationships to time, to others, to society kept at a distance, in favor of a certain understanding of nature, both magnificent and cruel.
BRAGUINO, Clément Cogitore (2017, France, Finland, 50’)
Original Version: Russian / Subtitles: English
Braguino is a cinematic journey in search of an “impossible community,” secluded in the heart of the Siberian forest. Between the fear of wild beasts, fire, and the joy offered by the vastness of the forest and its resources, children and adults try, with varying degrees of success, to live together.
ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES, Ben Rivers (2008, UK, 16’)
Original Version: English / Not subtitled
The film portrays S., who has chosen to live away from society. Alone in his garden and surrounded by his machines, he continually questions life on Earth, from the origin of the world to an uncertain future.

– CARTES BLANCHE // VIMALA PONS
To evoke her relationship with cinema and images, Vimala Pons proposes two films: an animated musical that is both burlesque and melancholic (Mon fardeau) and an essay film resembling a diary with hypnotic visual language (Heart of a Dog). Two introspective films of different designs that weave secret connections with animals at their center.
HEART OF A DOG, Laurie Anderson (2015, USA, France, 75’)
Original Version: English / Subtitles: Italian
Lolabelle, who passed away in 2011, was the dog of American artist and musician Laurie Anderson. A film-essay, a patchwork cinema that blends childhood memories, bedside notes, home movies, dreams, and tributes to those who inspired the artist-director.
MON FARDEAU, Niki Lindroth von Bahr (2017, Sweden, 14’)
Original Version: Subtitled in English
A dark musical takes place in a shopping center on the outskirts of a highway. The employees, embodied by animals, struggle against boredom and their existential anxieties through joyful musical performances. The apocalypse seems a tempting release.

– CARTES BLANCHE // RASHA SALTI
Rasha Salti invites us to discover the film made by documentary filmmaker Ali Essafi: a unique and masterful tribute to the artists in resistance during the 1970s in Morocco, known as a period of struggles and collective dreams, an archival film that exhumes the intense creativity that this air of revolt managed to liberate from the violence of the regime.
AVANT LE DÉCLIN DU JOUR, Ali Essafi (2020, Morocco, 70’)
Original Version: Arabic, French / Subtitles: French
Avant le déclin du jour is an archival cinematic project that reveals the artistic creativity of 1970s Morocco, supported by the narratives of victims of the repression of this period, known as the “Years of Lead.”

CONTRECHAMPS
– CONTRECHAMP // GALB’ECHAOUF – BORJ EL MECHKOUK – APIYEMIYEKÎ?
It is difficult to make landscapes speak, to make them convey their history—not the geological one, but the one marked by humans… It is also difficult to reveal traces, images, through cinema. Yet, this is the challenge that the three artist-filmmakers of this session have attempted to take on from the lands of a region of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil or the desert landscapes of the Sahara.
GALB’ECHAOUF, Abdessamad El Montassir (2021, Morocco, 19’)
Original Version: Hassaniya Arabic, Darija / Subtitles: English
Investigating an event that profoundly changed the Sahara landscape, Abdessamad El Montassir confronts the silence of previous generations, haunted by a history they cannot narrate.
BORJ EL MECHKOUK, Driss Aroussi (2023, France, Morocco, 32’)
Original Version: Moroccan Arabic dialect / Subtitles: English
From the work of a man on underground water galleries for irrigating crops in the desert region of Errachidia, Morocco, emerges a cinematic fable about the climate crisis.
APIYEMIYEKÎ?, Ana Vaz (2019, Brazil, France, 29’)
Original Version: Portuguese / Subtitles: English
Apiyemiyekî? is a portrait based on the archives of Egydio Schwade, a Brazilian philosopher and activist, consisting of over 3,000 drawings made by the Waimiri-Atroari, a native people of the Amazon, during the time of literacy in Brazil.

– CONTRECHAMP // ÊTRE CHEVAL – UN PASSAGE D’EAU
Well beyond the ties to the animal presented by Être Cheval and Un Passage d’eau, the articulations between these two films unfold on a score based on the body, its treatments, care, or constraints, the relationships of hybridization between humans, animals, and the environment, and this under the modes of transformation, mutation, hybridization, domination… for a reflection on our desires and becoming.
ÊTRE CHEVAL, Jérôme Clément-Wilz (2015, France, 63’)
Original Version: French / Subtitles: English
Karen is an enthusiast of pony-play, a practice that involves transforming into a horse and being trained as such. Through this quest, Karen questions humanity itself, gender differences, and explores life, love, and nature.
UN PASSAGE D’EAU, Clovis Maillet & Louise Hervé (2014, France, 23’)
Original Version: French / Subtitles: English
Some marine creatures, like lobsters, may be immortal. Will humanity, in the future, be able to transform instead of aging? A hypothesis posed by a mysterious club of retirees in a seaside resort…

“For its originality, its inventiveness, its ability to surprise us, to lose us and then find us again, for its incredible freedom that moved us as much as it stunned us, the jury awards the Villa Medici Prize for Best Film to Pepe, by Nelson Carlo de Los Santos Arias.”
“For its ingenious transformation of “proof images” into sites of reflection and empathy, for its restorative poetry, the jury awards a special mention to Miranda Pennell for her short film Man Number 4.”
“Because we come away from this film, as we do from all great works, with more questions than answers, the Jury Prize goes to Adele Tulli’s Real.”
“For the striking precision of its directorial talent and for its captivating presence, the jury awards a special mention to director Sarah Friedland and actress Kathleen Chalfant for the film Familiar Touch.”
