About: Face to Face is a photo cinema about the contents of our modern time concept – telling that inside of our time has been built a stream of material values, which began as oedipal fever in United States of America and ends up in Europe. It also speaks about the interdependence between the original citizens of Mother Europe and New World Europeans of ‘The Good Bad Son’ alias America, on both sides of the Big Sea. It underlines how after ‘The Second Hiroshima’ of Japan we long to a shelter against our own values. We want to forget the growing dread of our Grandmother Africa.

About:
A film about the spiritual encounter of the works of the world-famous
Finnish modern music composer Kaija Saariaho, living in Paris, and the
Spanish visual artist Nacho Angulo, and about an attempt to understand
what the human soul contains.In the film Nacho Angulo, living in
Madrid, uses about 15 000 pieces of birch to produce his interpretation
of five-part song cycle, Chateau de l’âme, composed
by Kaija Saariaho. During the long working process his mind wanders in
Finnish birch forests seeking the mythical background and the soul of
the birch tree as well as Kaija Saariaho’s connection with
this spiritual landscape of her childhood. The film depicts this
encounter in a space crossing the borders of different cultures. In
this space, Nacho Angulo’s starting point for his process,
based on modern music, is also a deep personal grieving that
necessitates finding the contents of the castle of the soul. |
