21:00 | Beat Film Festival. The Season in Quincy: Four Portraits of John Berger |
|
|
|
|
Documentary. USA 2016, 90 min. Directed by : Tilda Swinton, Colin MacCabe, Christopher Roth, Bartek Dziadosz. Starring: John Berger, Yves Berger, Melina Berger, Vincent Berger. The documentary is the result of a five-year project by Tilda Swinton, Colin MacCabe, Christopher Roth, and Bartek Dziadosz, to produce a portrait of the intellectual and storyteller John Berger. It comprises four films about Berger, each shot by one of the directors. However, boundaries merge here, with creators crossing over and popping up in their collaborators’ films, with the whole project turning out to be a reverential, though most of the time informal, warm and affectionate, love letter to a father figure and a mentor that is the 80-year-old writer and artist John Berger.

Documentary. USA 2015, 73 min. Directed by Peter D. Hutchinson, Kelly Nicks, Jared P. Scott. Starring: Noam Chomsky. The film is the definitive discourse with Noam Chomsky, renowned linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, and the person widely regarded as the most important intellectual alive, on the concentration of wealth and power at the hands of the selected few. Profoundly personal and thought-provoking, the documentary has at heart interviews with Chomsky filmed over four years, and combines his meditation on 50 years of policies designed to favor the richest at the expense of the majority, as well as a look at his own life of political activism. However, most of all, this film is a must-see for those who maintain hope in the democracy, and a potent reminder that the power is ultimately in the hands of the governed.
