Ambulantito y Trinh T. Minh-ha en AMBULANTE 2011
Imágenes de La Entrenadora de Poodles de Vance Malone y La cuarta dimensión de Trinh T. Minh-ha
Comenzamos a presentarles algunas secciones que serán parte de la Gira de Documentales del 11 de febrero al 5 de mayo de 2011:
AMBULANTITO:
Es un espacio para que los niños y jóvenes de corazón absorban miradas globales que los transporten a realidades remotas, al mismo tiempo que reflexionen sobre las problemáticas que les rodean a través de pequeños documentales. El programa de Ambulantito estará conformado por siete documentales, reunidos en un programa que se presentará en Cinépolis y en sedes alternas de forma gratuita. Los documentales seleccionados son:
– Entrevista con la tierra de Nicolás Pereda
– Madagascar, diario de viaje de Bastien Dubois
– Tabla de Billy Pols
– Plástico y vidrio de Tessa Joosse
– El rebaño de Ken Wardrop
– La entrenadora de Poodles de Vance Malone
– El proyecto Sapporo de Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre
RETROSPECTIVA: Trinh T. Minh-ha
Con el apoyo de la Embajada de EEUU en México y la Cineteca Nacional se presentará un homenaje a la cineasta, escritora y compositora vietnamita Trinh T. Minh-ha. Sus películas han cuestionado y desafiado la forma «occidental» y comercial de hacer documentales; su trabajo representa una crítica constante al «ojo antropológico» y al documental etnográfico tradicional.
Las obras seleccionadas serán presentadas en la Cineteca Nacional, donde además contaremos con la presencia de la Minh-ha, del 18 al 24 de febrero, para tener un intercambio con el público presente. Un título de esta retrospectiva viajará con el resto de la programación a las demás ciudades que conforman la Gira.
Los títulos confirmados para el programa son:
– Reensamblaje (Reassemblage, 1982)
– Naked spaces: Living is round (1985)
– Apellido Viet Nombre Nam (Sur Name Viet Name Nam, 1989)
– Shoot for the contentes (1991)
– La cuarta dimensión (The fourth dimension, 2001)
– Pasaje nocturno (Night passage, 2005)
