The rigorous, stimulating films of Jean-Marie Straub and Daniele Huillet have
provoked strong reactions since their debut in 1965. They consider the
soundtrack as important as the visual image and reject post-production
dubbing in favour of direct sound. Most of their films are based on
pre-existing works of art. This screening includes two recent films: a short
political pamphlet, and an adaptation of the poet Joachim Gasquet's account
of discussions about painting with Paul Cezanne.

Jean-Marie Straub and Daniele Huillet, EUROPA 2005 - 27 OCTOBER, 2005, video

A moving protest film in memory of Bouna Traore, 15, and Zyed Benna, 17, who
were electrocuted and killed while hiding from the police in a high-voltage
electric plant in Clichy-sous-Bois on 27 October 2005.


Jean-Marie Straub and Daniele Huillet, A VISIT TO THE LOUVRE, 2004, 35mm

'Above all, this is an artist's manifesto, that of Cezanne in the face of the
entire history of Western art; and that of the Straubs, who have already made
one film about the painter (Cezanne, 1989) set around the Mt. Sainte-Victoire
region, and who aspire to be artists of the people and the earth, poets of
the real, as much as Cezanne and Courbet before them.' (Frederic Bonnaud)
