JUST DON’T THINK I’LL SCREAM
(NE CROYEZ SURTOUT PAS QUE JE HURLE)
Frank Beauvais
21:00 | GATE DOCUMENTARY
Film, declares Frank Beauvais, is an aesthetic rampart against a vile world. From the 400 or so films the filmmaker and cinephile watched in a seven-month period, he selected the mosaic that comprises
this electrifying found-footage film. An omnivorous viewer, Beauvais deploys a dizzying array of startling and searing images to make sense of such tumultuous events as the dramatic death of his emotionally distant father, the Nice and Florida terror attacks, and the devastating news of both Michael Cimino and Abbas Kiarostami’s passing. Intoxicating, overwhelming, intense, surreal... a cri de coeur of indelible imagery. DOM Accompanied by a screening of Alessia Cecchet’s short film ‘WWW {The Whale Who Wasn’t}’ (11 mins). See p. 96.
