Cinématon n°320 : Jean Narboni

Extreme A seemingly prim and orderly woman struggles to cling to her sense of reality when her concerned sister enlists the help of a social worker to show her that her compulsive lifestyle is a delusion. 45 million American adults experience mental illness. EXTREME tells one such story about a woman, her sister and grief. Taking this opportunity to highlight mental illness in a unique way, our hope is to elicit honest and open dialogue by raising awareness to those who suffer, as well as questioning what is deemed acceptable behavior by society and almost more importantly why?

In Your Honor In Your Honor is not a band. It's not a song. Nor a documentary. IYH is an ambitious dream that brings all that together and shows how raw and how intense the symbiosis between a group of friends and their favorite band can be. It's a concept that was born the moment Dave Grohl (lead vocalist of Foo Fighters) surprised by the wild crowd's reaction during their show in Argentina in March 2018, salid "Why don't you start a band and I'll come to see you every night, how about that?" That phrase, which most of the times is symbolically interpreted as a thank-you gesture, didn't go unnoticed by one of the members of the crowd that night, Juan Pablo Sanzi, who immediately got the message of his idol and realized he had to do something about it. And so he did. IYH is a unique insight on a particular trait of Argentinian idiosyncrasy, linked the notion of 'passion' portrayed by soccer fans and how their behavior is replicated in rock concerts.

In Place of Capital In the spring of 1845, William Henry Fox Talbot made four photographs of the Royal Exchange in London. What appears in these photographs is not only the nineteenth century edifice of a financial institution, but also an early limitation of the technology of photography itself: its inability to capture and clearly represent objects in movement. Beginning with this image of finance and the limitations of photography, In Place of Capital unfolds in the strange place between economic movements and the realm of pictorial representation after the invention of photography.
