A Season of Footage and Films Part 3. Talking Heads
Dec. 25, 2010 - Dec. 27, 2010
Talking Heads
Commonly seen as the bane of documentary films, the "talking head" is reincarnated as a rare and entertaining set of encounters, in formats such as:
a solo, by a woman in her kitchen, and another in a dance bar,
a couple, in a playful interview by jean-luc godard of woody allen,
a trio, when two european film students drunkenly interview tsai ming liang,
four men on a talk-show set, "the Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and the presenter, on In-Mumbai cable channel in 2001,
"paanch bahuraniyan" (five daughters-in-law) in a feudal house in an urban village in Delhi,
a dozen young people and a dholki (drum) singing an old protest song indoors,
a crowd that takes over a TV studio in Bucharest, in 1989.
Also featuring, not in this order: deleuze, dhasal, haraway, ibrahim, prelinger, navalkar, roy, Talking Heads, zizek and more.
What thread ties them together? Perhaps no one , just as all the objects in one's house are not "related" in a simple way.
