A Foal in the Autumn
A Foal in the Autumn è un film sperimentale che medita sull’identità e la memoria culturale at traverso la lente della tradizione sciamanica e del sogno. Con quasi tutte le immagini generate da AI, ricostruisce l’anima della creazione di immagini in un arazzo di memoria personale, visione ancestrale e forma simbolica. Ancorato all’immagine della culla mongola allo stesso tempo veicolo di conforto e di costrizione e al piccolo specchio rotondo, simbolo di purezza e saggezza ancestrale, il film viaggia negli echi sbiaditi del linguaggio, della tradizione e dell’identità. Kherlen Khereid è una regista e scenografa mongola di origine cinese che vive a Berlino. Cresciuta in un ambiente culturalmente diverso, ha sviluppato una spiccata sensibilità per le questioni sociali. Il suo lavoro è dedicato ad amplificare le voci e le storie delle culture minoritarie e delle comunità emarginate. Ha studiato nel programma Meisterschülerin presso l’Universität der Künste di Berlino, concentrandosi sul cinema sperimentale.
«Si Près is my final film from documentary school in Lussas. It blends my memories, my explorations of the Ardèche, together with personal images from Switzerland and Italy. What remains is to gather this unfolding towards the other, my spontaneous questioning with the camera at a crossroads in the countryside: where will we love to hide?» Rémi Pierre was born in 1998 and lives in Paris. After completing a master’s degree in cinema history and aesthetics in France and founding the Éclair film club in Genoa, Italy, he went on to study film production and distribution at the Lussas documentary school. Through the prism of poetry and displacement, his images and texts seek to explore the fragility of technical filmmaking. A Foal in the Autumn is an experimental film that meditates on identity and cultural memory through the lens of shamanic tradition and dream. With nearly all visuals generated by AI, it reconstructs the soul of image making into a tapestry of personal memory, ancestral vision, and symbolic form. Anchored in the image of the Mongolian cradle at once a vessel of comfort and constraint and the small round mirror, a symbol of purity and ancestral wisdom, the film journeys into the fading echoes of language, tradition, and self. Kherlen Khereid is a Chinese-born Mongolian director and production designer based in Berlin. Raised in a culturally diverse environment, she developed a keen sensitivity to societal issues.
