EMMENE-MOI
COME AWAY WITH ME
Anne-Noëlle Gaessler
France, 2011
documentary
Four girls move into a bungalow in the Emmaus community in Strasbourg. They came all the way from Europe or Asia, to share the Companions’ daily life and work for a few weeks.
The film tells the joyful, sometimes painful encounter between a youth full of hope and men who reconcile themselves with their life. Little by little, friendships are being formed…
LES ECLAIREURS
THE SHINING STARS
Simone Fluhr and Daniel Coche
France, 2011
documentary
In a yellow house, situated at the heart of Strasbourg, people come from all over the world with a glimmer of hope to find refuge from the persecutions, which have forced them into exile.
Unbeknown to them, another kind of violation will be added to the violent scars of their past: one that we make them endure, here, with us.
This film questions the state of a society, our own, at the height of a reversal in meaning: violating those who have already been subject to so much violence, criminalizing those who seek our security and protection.
It also shows the daily struggles of citizens who are, more or less, helplessly witness to their despair.
EMILE GALLE, LA NATURE DANS L’ART
EMILE GALLE, NATURE IN ART
Damien Fritsch
France, 2005
documentary
The work of Emile Gallé (1846-1904) is one of the essential references in Art Nouveau. The master of the "Ecole de Nancy" was a glassmaker, a furniture designer, a ceramist, but also a committed humanist and a well-known botanist who has left an important scientific work.
Gallé studied and sketched Lorraine's flora with meticulous care. He found inspiration in the shapes, curves and details of some flowers, but also some insects to create vases and furniture. His inspiration also came from Japanese painting and more particularly from Hokusaï, whom he considers to be a progressive painter of decorative art. Gallé leaves a sensitive and committed work, which 100 years after his death still is very alive and existing.
