INGRID CAVEN RETROSPECTIVE

« The rare mystery of certain presences on stage was the most important thing, much more important than
what we call a life. ».
Jean-Jacques Schuhl, Ingrid Caven, 2000.

So says the writer about the woman who shares his life. This rare mystery is also the mystery of Ingrid Caven’s presence on screen, from Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s first films in the late 1960s to those she still plays in five decades later. This is the mystery of beings who never allow themselves to be domesticated, whose aura transforms and transfigures the image or song which receives its brilliance.

Ingrid Caven sings, but she is more than a singer: since her first show in 1976, staged by Werner Schroeter, each of her performances has been the invention of a new form, electric shortcuts through the history of singing. Breathtaking vocals and acrobatic gestures, risky figures on a tightrope between extremes, from Brahms to Kraftwerk, from the street to opera.

Ingrid Caven acts, but she is more than an actress. A subversive iconic figure for the public, – she was a force of inspiration and an incomparable work partner for some of the greatest filmmakers of the ‘70s – Schroeter, Fassbinder, Schmid.

From June 25 to 30, Ingrid Caven will be the guest of FIDMarseille for a program retracing over fifty years of acting and singing. Masterpieces by Eustache (My Little Loves), Schmid (La Paloma), Fassbinder (In a Year of 13 Moons), rare and/or little-known films, never-before-screened filmed performances, surprise listening session, encounters…

WEDNESDAY JUNE 26TH | 7:30 PM | ARTPLEXE CINEMA 

Admission is free, subject to availability.

Ingrid Caven
Heidschi Bumbeidschi
16 moments de ma vie

Ingrid Caven wrote the lyrics and basic melodies for these autobiographical songs. The original idea came from filmmaker Albert Serra, whose group The Molforts provided the electronic music.
This suite of songs performed by Ingrid Caven in her husky voice
from the factories and ruins of Saarbrücken. There is the chaos
of illness, from childhood under the bombs of war to psychoanalysis and beyond… But there is also music as a rescue.
Musically, the result is a confrontation (and combination) of simple ‘old-fashioned’ melodies with the sophisticated atmosphere of electronic music conducted by Albert Serra.
Here and there, too, there are snippets of melodies that have
accompanied Ingrid Caven’s life since childhood, and to which
she has written new lyrics (from La Lorelei, ‘Heidschi Bumbeidschi’, ‘Lili Marleen’, Mignon, Viennese Waltz, to Arnold Schönberg and Peer Raben…)

One of the surprises of the 35th edition of FID: a retrospective devoted to the work of Ingrid Caven in her presence, and the previously unreleased release of her album Heidschi Bumbeidschi – 16 moments of my life, produced by Albert Serra. On June 26, Radio Grenouille welcomes the duo live for 1 hour, combining the discovery of several tracks with a wide-ranging interview.

Host: Léna Rivière
Producer: Alex Papi Simonini

BOOK PUBLISHED BY ÉDITIONS DE L’OEIL (FR) / FIREFLIES PRESS (EN)

« Let’s try something: here we are, in a sort of set-up, each in a large armchair, not facing each other, but looking straight ahead, towards… Towards nothing, since the screen is turned off, so we’re looking there, a bit like in a psychoanalyst’s office, as we speak. We talk while looking straight ahead. Let’s try to talk about Ingrid Caven. »

THE COLLECTIVE FABULATIONS OF ADIRLEY QUEIRÓS ET JOANA PIMENTA

The FIDMarseille is delighted and honored to welcome Adirley Queirós and Joana Pimenta for the first  retrospective of their films outside Brazil.

For the past twenty years, Adirley Queirós has been making cinema with the inhabitants of Ceilândia, a satellite city of Brasília. Since Rap, O Canto da Ceilândia (2005), each film is invented as a prototype, combining documentary material and fictional energies to invert the relationship between the center and the margin. Real and fake archives, anticipation and dystopia, local radio and urban music: a minority people revives the political power of cinema to imagine their memory, to portray their anger and their hope for change.

Joana Pimenta is Portuguese and works between Brazil and the United States. She has made two highly acclaimed short films which, in an entirely different language – that of the experimental essay – join the Brazilian filmmaker on a common territory: that of (colonial) counter-history and fictionalized memory. In 2017, Adirley Queirós invited her to work as director of photography on Era uma vez Brasília. After co-directing the incendiary Mato seco em chama in 2022, they are now pursuing an ever closer collaboration.

Collective tales to shape history, counter segregation and invent uprising: it’s this necessary artistic and political ambition that we are delighted to present and reflect upon in the company of Adirley Queirós and Joana Pimenta.
The two filmmakers will be present in Marseille throughout the 35th edition of the festival.

This retrospective will continue in Paris, from July 5 to 8, when
the 35th edition of FIDMarseille resumes at the Cinémathèque
Française.

AGATHE BONITZER / SOPHIE FILLIÈRES

She has played alongside Ingrid Caven in Belle dormant (Sleeping Beauty) by Adolpho Arrietta (2016). She is intriguing and fascinating in one of the most beautiful films of recent years (Music, by Angela Schanelec). Because Agathe Bonitzer is a young actress, the aim is not to pay tribute to her, nor to celebrate her career with a retrospective. There will be no question of a career, as her filmography is built on other requirements. Those of a cinephile actress, passionate about the history of cinema and concerned about its future, attracted more by the work of filmmakers than by the performances they offer her. So what is it all about? Work. Taking stock of the work of a young actress today. Entering the world of film and cinema through the words and work of an actress.

In the course of her non-career, Agathe Bonitzer has played in several films by an immense filmmaker, the discreet author of one of the most precious works in French cinema: Sophie Fillières, her mother. Her six feature films have profoundly renewed the art of comedy, with brilliant dialogues and cracked characters serving up a funny yet desperate examination of the things of life. She died just after shooting the seventh, and asked her children to finish the film.

Agathe Bonitzer will be present throughout the week to accompany this program, which includes films she starred in and a tribute to Sophie Fillières.

In partnership with the Cinémathèque Française, which is devoting a complete retrospective to Sophie Fillières in September, coinciding with the theatrical release of Ma vie ma gueule (The Life of Mine).

Some strings

FROM JUNE 26TH TO 30TH / 5 P.M. - 9 P.M.
OPENING | TUESDAY JUNE 25TH | 5 P.M | LA COMPAGNIE, LIEU DE CRÉATION

Filmmakers and artists from around the world have formed Some strings, an ensemble of unreleased filmic gestures that, along with others, tell the story of the events that occur in the world, so that witnesses increase. “Each memory that is freed is the first step for all memories to gather” (Edouard Glissant).

Some strings is rooted in that which stains the screens of history: in Palestine, where poet and teacher Refaat Alareer, like so many others beings, was targeted by Israeli strikes and killed along with seven other members of his family.

His last poem, “If I Must Die”, written between earth and sky five weeks before his death, calls for the making of a kite with some strings. Some strings is the legacy of such call, as did each of
his readers inherits it as well. The kite, now an object of resistance, and its strings, now in the hands of some one hundred artists, represent a diversity of perspectives on one of the darkest moments of the 21st century.

Some strings is released as widely as possible, all over the world, in theaters as part of a pre-show program, in festivals, also in a row, in a wide variety of spaces, because everyone take it own piece of string.

some-strings.org will keep on giving news about more initiatives throughout the world. 

if i must die,
you must live
to tell my story
to sell my things
to buy a piece of cloth
and some strings,
(make it white with a long tail)
so that a child, somewhere in gaza while looking heaven in the eye awaiting his dad who left in a blaze— and bid no one farewell
not even to his flesh
not even to himself—
sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above and thinks for a moment an angel is there bringing back love
if i must die
let it bring hope
let it be a tale

Some strings will be launched at FIDMarseille, both in theatres and in the LA COMPAGNIE, LIEU DE CRÉATION.

From June 25, Some strings will also be launched, with no date restrictions, at the following venues: CINEMA GALERIES Brussels, ZUMZEIG Barcelona, CinémadArt Tunis, Cinéma de Seta Palermo, El Círculo de Bellas Artes Madrid, Les ateliers sauvages Alger, Werkstatt Kino Munich… and to follow at FIFDH Geneva, Cinéma Bio Carrouge, SPOUTNIK Geneva, UNION DOC New York, LAGO Film Fest Lago, l’ERG École de recherche graphique Bruxelles, California State University, Monterey Bay, Journées cinématographiques de Bejaïa Béjaïa, Festival de Film de la Villa Médicis Rome, ICA The Institute of Contemporary Arts London, Doc Lisboa Lisbon, Underdox Munich, Berwick Film & Media Arts Berwick, Festival en ville Bruxelles, California State University, Monterey Bay… and in several other countries from September.

BUT I’M A CHEERLEADER
Sacha Rey

Address: 55 Cr Julien, 13006 Marseille Time & date: from June 27th to July 4th, 2024, every day from 2pm to 9pm
Viewing on Wednesday 26th, June at 7pm 9pm-11:30pm djset Scarlett (@ohgodscarlett)
In this documentary video installation, art workers embody a cheerleader whose documentary interviews are conducted while playing sports. Sporting practices are used as a metaphor, evoking the exhaustion of bodies and addressing the following questions: How can the economic precariousness of minoritized or vulnerable people lead to their leaving the cultural sector, happily or otherwise? How do people cope, find ways out, keep working?

Often in the cinema, cheerleaders are represented by objectified white cis-hetero women, meeting hegemonic beauty criteria. I wanted to avoid imposing a patriarchal viewpoint on this figure of popular culture. In this way, the participants set themselves the task of encouraging each other and creating a space for resistance in the face of a highly competitive cultural sector. The documentary also looks at how, throughout history, this sporting practice has been transformed by gender and racial norms. For example, Naya mentions that cheerleading was a male-only sport, and that women were forbidden to take part until 1923.

The title is a reference to Jamie Babbit’s 1999 lesbian comedy But I’m a Cheerleader.

Una colección de elementos · Una sombra oscilante
Celeste Rojas Mugica

Address: Adresse : 5 Rue Vian, 13006 Marseille

Una colección de elementos · Una sombra oscilante, brings together some of the elements that form part of the archive for Chilean artist Celeste Rojas Mugica‘s Una sombra oscilante project. A book, images, the light of a projector, writings and readings. Brief journeys, reflections, an unfinished dialogue.

Una sombra oscilante establishes a dialogue with her father’s photographic archives, produced between 1970 and 1989, during his militancy in Chile and his eleven years of exile in Ecuador. It proposes itself as a configuration of exercises in approximating the images that construct and erase memory, and the space of fiction we can establish with it; it’s a series of questions about the unrepresentable, but through the idea that in photos there’s an imaginary vanishing point, it’s possible to materialize something.
