Les Sous-marins de la France Libre

Viols de guerre, 70 ans d'histoire d'une arme taboue

As a "collateral" weapon of war, mass rapes perpetrated alongside every conflict have destroyed entire generations of women, men, and children. From Berlin in 1945 to Syria in 2015, via Italy, Japan, Rwanda, Serbia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Syria, and the Islamic State, 70 years of war rape, slavery, and sexual torture.

Tree of Knowledge

It started with filming the tree. Something was released in that manner of filming seemingly farthest removed from the procedure of the early films. I first thought a simple ordering of this rich material might be enough, something related to BARN RUSHES [...] But the film only came into its form-life with the idea of linking this deep-rooted and far-outreaching tree material with that film on paranoia that had fascinated me for many years. –L.

Los caballeros del mar (Neutralidad)

Machete Gillette... Mama

"With characteristic wit and rigor, experimental filmmaker Larry Gottheim here applies his impressionistic editing style to footage collected during his travels in the Dominican Republic. Gottheim’s formal emphasis on repetition and fissures between sound and image resonates here as a mode of sociological reflection (with the fragmentary montage mirroring elements of ritual while also destabilizing the ethnographic gaze). A largely overlooked antecedent to the contemporary blending of avant-garde and ethnographic filmmaking, MACHETTE GILLETTE… MAMA still poses a potent challenge to documentary convention." - Max Goldberg
