HIT HIM ON THE HEAD WITH A HARD, HEAVY HAMMER
Rebecca Jane Arthur – BE, 2023, 49’ – VO EN – ST: FR
Hit Him on the Head with a Hard, Heavy Hammer departs from the handwritten memoir of the filmmaker’s father and his experience of displacement during wartime. Referring to the notion Thomas Hardy termed ‘The Self-Unseeing’ in his eponymous 1901 poem, the film returns to childhood and the matters that harden us : upbringing, social status, education, labour, and familial bonds. The memoir weaves into the film as both a contemplation on mortality and an illustration of fading memory, reflecting on how we pen our pasts and how they can be re-told.

ÔTE-TOI DE MON SOLEIL
Messaline Raverdy – BE, 2023, 50’ – VO FR – ST: EN
Joseph cannot live at his own place anymore. For many years, he has travelled around the city with his trolley to gather tons of miscellaneous papers and objects of all kinds, thus filling his flat with labyrinthine chaos. He is said to have “the Diogenes syndrome”. He is gifted with vertiginous erudition and witty humour. The director help him unclog his home. One friendship is forming.
