Goya – Crazy Like A Genius
Ian MacMillan, UK, 2002, 70 min
Documentary in which the late art critic Robert Hughes travels across Spain in search of the reality beyond the mythology of Spanish painter Francisco Goya. Goya has long been Hughes‘s favourite artist but has become a particular obsession since a near-fatal car accident left Hughes living with nightmares of Goya‘s often dark and violent imagery. – BBC FOUR

The Wold Shadow
Stan Brakhage, USA, 1972, 2 min 30 sec, Silent
A stand of birches. Sunlight brightens and dims, revealing more or less of the woods. A little grass is on the forest floor. Is there a shape in the shadows? Something green is out of focus. The light flashes, and the screen goes dark from time to time. We look up close at the bark of trees. Is the god of the forest to be seen?

Ce long métrage documentaire recueille l’essentiel de la pensée d’un bon nombre de peintres, sculpteurs, critiques d’art, architectes, directeurs de musées et de galeries que la rupture artistes-société inquiète. En outre, il donne au grand public l’occasion d’émettre ses opinions sur les œuvres dont la beauté et la signification échappent parfois. L’art pourra-t-il un jour sortir de son isolement? Plaidoyer en faveur du droit de tout être humain à l’expression, ce film réuni, entre autres, Armand Vaillancourt, Marcel Rioux, Gilles Hénault, Marcelle Ferron, Claude Jasmin et Jean-Paul Mousseau.
