Bozarts (1969) de JACQUES GIRALDEAU

Bozarts
Jacques Giraldeau, Canada, 1969, 58 min 6 s


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.

Consistent stylistic-thematic structures link and merge throughout the bewildering event chain. The distinction between organic forms and human artifacts is blurred by the visual style which is enigmatic without being ambiguous – ANTHONY REVEAUX in Art Week, 1974

A Lamp in the Dark: Untold History of the Bible (2009) by CHRISTIAN J. PINTO

A Lamp in the Dark: Untold History of the Bible
Christian J. Pinto, USA, 2009, 180 min

 

A Lamp in the Dark is a (…) documentary that shows the intriguing history of the Bible. Enter into a world of saints and martyrs battling against spies, assassins, and wolves in sheep’s clothing. Through the Middle Ages, the popes and Inquisition forbade biblical translation, threatening imprisonment and death to those who disobeyed. Learn the lives of men like John Wycliffe, Martin Luther, William Tyndale, Myles Coverdale and others, who hazarded their lives to communicate the Bible in languages people could understand. With the Fall of Constantinople, ancient Greek manuscripts came into Europe, and with them, the clear streams of understanding that would bring about the Protestant Reformation. But what is little known is that Rome launched a Counter Reformation with the intent of destroying all the works of the Reformers. Could this be the key to the « untold » history of the Bible? And is it possible that this ancient war on the Word of God continues to this day?
