04.08 Becoming
Boyhood (Richard Linklater, 2014, 165')
Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring (Kim Ki-duk, 2003, 103')
Growing unfolds through repetition. Childhood, seasons, rituals and everyday habits accumulate over time, allowing experience to settle gradually into ways of living. Identity emerges through duration.
05.08 Households
Antonia (Marleen Gorris, 1995, 102')
One Sings, the Other Doesn't (Agnès Varda, 1977, 120')
Households organise the work of everyday life. Food is prepared, children are raised, friendships endure, responsibilities shift and generations overlap. These films imagine domestic life as a site where social relations are continually produced, negotiated and transformed.
06.08 Constellations
Happy Hour (Ryūsuke Hamaguchi, 2015, 317')
Relationships are built over time. Conversation, shared attention and the quiet work of remaining present to one another gradually form a constellation in which no single life stands alone. Experience moves between people, carried through listening, companionship and the slow negotiation of everyday life.
07.08 Duration
Days (Tsai Ming-liang, 2020, 127')
La Libertad (Lisandro Alonso, 2001, 73')
Work establishes its own rhythm. Repeated gestures, bodily routines and the passage of hours give shape to experience, allowing time to be felt as something lived.
08.08 Continuities
Paraguayan Hammock (Paz Encina, 2006, 78')
The Four Times (Michelangelo Frammartino, 2010, 88')
One film unfolds inside a recognisable contemporary landscape; the other transforms offices and corridors into something almost unreal. Together they suggest that architecture is most powerful when it ceases to draw attention to itself, becoming part of the ordinary conditions of everyday life.
09.08 CODA - In Praise of Misbehaviour
Daisies (Věra Chytilová, 1966, 74')
Disorder becomes contagious. Every rule invites another act of mischief, every object another game. The everyday is joyfully rearranged, discovering in exuberant misbehaviour another way of living, and another way of making cinema.
