From the start, Vertov made himself known as an irreconcilable enemy of “acted films,” which he regarded as a violation of truth. At the peak of World War II, however, such lofty artistic principles proved impractical. Vertov’s poetic and patriotic For You, Front! is a fiction film with a script and two actors. In a letter to her fiancé, a soldier on the front, Saule asks if there is anything he needs from “our beloved Kazakhstan.” Yes there is, he replies: lead, which can be used to make bullets to kill the enemies of “our beloved country.” close

Cremaster 5 (55 min, 1997) is a five-act opera (sung in Hungarian) set in late-ninteenth century Budapest. The last film in the series, Cremaster 5 represents the moment when the testicles are finally released and sexual differentiation is fully attained. The lamenting tone of the opera suggests that Barney invisions this as a moment of tragedy and loss. The primary character is the Queen of Chain (played by Ursula Andress). Barney, himself, plays three characters who appear in the mind of the Queen: her Diva, Magician, and Giant. The Magician is a stand-in for Harry Houdini, who was born in Budapest in 1874 and appears as a recurring character in the Cremaster cycle. close

A man (Carmelo Bene) can not bear to be part of society. He considers himself a "jerk" and so invents its own philosophy, which involves the destruction of his land of Puglia where all citizens are devoted to the Catholic religion. However, the man can not destroy the belief of the pilgrims of Salento, because a woman would prevent that. It is an unknown "Santa Margherita", which tries to divert man from his weird and impossible philosophy. Successive scenes of the film show various situations unreal and dream in which the two protagonists try to obtain the best one on the other. After a blasphemous dialogue between monks, the man includes his whole philosophy in a Moorish building. In fact, this seems to have been the scene of the massacre of the famous 800 Martyrs of Otranto, which are considered by the scetic man the absolute death of Christianity. close

Graduates of the Moscow Theatre University in 2000 told about themselves and their feelings, hopes and doubts on the set. Their revelations were given to writers who created for each scenario the further development of fate. There were ten. Five years have passed, and the whole ten again gathered in front of the camera to read aloud the “prophecies” written for them, to wonder at the accuracy of the prediction, to laugh, to grieve or even, perhaps, to get angry. close

Overall, the idea is to make ethnicities, politics, races, nations - to make all of them turn into non-existent objects... ...akin to ovals, boxes, blobs, wardrobes! You might think he's really "someone", really a "representative of the people", but really just a representative of skirting boards, of coffee rings, nothing more. Overall, political invective's that should be perceived solely as poetic invective's. Overall, spreading geopolitics across geology and poetics. Like a question-Eskimo, dancing and waving his ribbons in the air, turns and changes on a pillar, becomes a question-Holocaust. In fact, "geopoetics" is a kind of a Holocaust seen as a choir, as an ensemblement, as an Eskimo. close
