AVEC SA MAIN DANS SA POCHE

Directed by Fanny Zaman & Dominik Daggelinckx

PITCH

Our national post war history (Belgium) is idiosyncratically marked in our own memory through a series of iconic images. The film deals with sound and image concerning awakening, emancipation, halt and decay but not necessarily chronological.

Duration 20'

Conseil d’Etat a short 7’32 screened at FIDMarseille 2016 is the first of a series. TRINITITE (released Summer 2018) is the second. Both films are pseudo didactic alternative school lectures dealing with obscure details in our national history. Conspiracy flavour, a neutral didactic voice, evidence brought to light by changing the context or by changing the score. 

TRINITITE 2018 '20 deals with Belgian post war history, with sound and image concerning awakening, emancipation, halt and decay.

The film reflects upon the coming of age of a country in sync with our own coming of age in the backdrop of the Cold War era.

The footage stems from national television reportages dealing with public interviews questioning class and gender at school, at work and in the private atmosphere, in the late sixties, early seventies. The national archive is rearranged and looked at from a contemporary point of view.
