+ screening Lola Gonzàlez, Appelle Moi
Armineh Negahdari and Lola Gonzalèz express very directly what they feel. What they have in common is the precious time they spend listening to themselves, with the aim of seeing themselves and the world as it is, rather than as we would like to see it. With Armineh, this desire to connect deeply with life involves intense production in the studio, to the point of saturating the floor with drawings in order to make full use of her ability to give without dominating life. For Lola, probing her own vision of the world comes down to connecting with that of others, proposing a relationship of respect, commitment and trust that is nurtured by collective action and emotional involvement, with no time limit. Armineh sides with writer and filmmaker Ebrahim Golestan, telling us that like him, she has no trouble with the night. The difficulty is waiting until morning. You have to be patient to move towards light, just as you have to be tenacious to commit yourself, as Lola does, to an ethics of love nowadays.
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.
T.S Eliot, The Waste Land
