(nostalgia) & Still Life
Description
During this screening, the film (nostalgia) will be followed by Still Life.
Composition
(nostalgia)
Hollis Frampton reminisces about twelve photographs, which one by one catch fire. The voice-over and images are out of sync: each story belongs to the photograph that follows, not to the one you are seeing, causing a dual experience of time.
Still Life
Portugal’s Carnation Revolution of 1974 brought an end to the longest dictatorship of 20th-century Europe. A collage of news images, propaganda films and police photos sketch a picture of this almost forgotten and barely processed era.
Retrospective: Susana de Sousa Dias
In celebration of our Guest of Honor, IDFA presents several films by acclaimed filmmaker, curator, and academic Susana de Sousa Dias. Known for her singular approach to archival images and cinematic form, her work interrogates dictatorship, colonial legacies, and the fragile terrain of memory.
