Description
For this issue n°2 of Les saisons, we questioned what is written from within cinema and how we could share a reading of these writings. These writings from within tell of the imaginary and reserved place of filmmakers, writings as a passage of the intimate, of fictional space, of a thought of film that takes shape through words.
This issue n°2 carries the desire to preserve these writings — The Impulse to Preserve, echoing Robert Gardner who, with "Fixing Time," an excerpt from this collection, opened the first issue of the journal. To "preserve" these writings means to publish writings by filmmakers we love, to work on translating texts that do not yet exist in French, to continue to let them inhabit time and trace a memory in the present of cinema.
In this issue n°2, we descend as much into the "cellar of cinema" as into practices in the making, from MARGARET TAIT to MAURICIO FREYRE alongside TACITA DEAN - DEBORAH STRATMAN - LAV DIAZ - JOÃO MARIA GUSMÃO AND PEDRO PAIVA
