Camilo Restrepo presents "Marquer la limite"
The short film, a reflection on the Arab-Israeli conflict, is based on unreleased footage from the film La Chambre d'ombres.
Marquer la limite looks back to 1949, the time of the Arab-Israeli armistice, to reflect on the history of the conflict through the memory of The Green Line (2004), a performance by the Belgian artist Francis Alÿs. The images of the short film are part of the material shot and not edited of La Chambre d'ombres.
La Chambre d'ombres, a project conceived at Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola, comprises a publication and a feature film that is currently in postproduction. The two productions trace a pathway through works of art, films, books and photographs that aims to question the impact of representation on reality. Both the publication and the film (a mise en scène of the 26 texts that make up the book) explore narrative forms such as essay and fiction and make use of visual elements such as drawings, photographs, film and the moving image. Both versions of the project are due to come out during the second half of 2024..
The film (5à7 Films, EQZE) recently participated in the Works-in-Progress section of Cinéma du Réel.
