Trilogy

a Bashar Shbib film

TRILOGY (OR'D'UR, BETSY, AMOUR IMPOSSIBLE)

Compilation of three short Docu-Dramas, Total Length 89:00 min, 1983, 1984, 1986, 16mm, B&W/colour, NTSC.

 

Synopsis

OR'D'UR

1983, Canada, Color, 16mm, 41 min. Docu-drama

The title is a play on the French word for garbage, “ordure”. It is an experimental piece of work which brings to light inherent problems with documentary film, not to mention the language of a few prostitutes. A group of rowdy Montreal boys live under the wing of a tough matron-mama (Claire Nadon) who runs her house like a youth hostel. An ironic twist on cinema verité.

“OR'D'UR.. a gritty, realistic look at male prostitution and sexual assault...an audacious, thought provoking work...one which raises important questions about the documentary idiom.”
James Adams, Cinema Canada

JURY PRIZE, CANADIAN STUDENT FILM FESTIVAL 1984

BETSY

1984, Canada, Color, 16mm, 26 min. Comedy

A camp comedy of social mores. Right before her operation, a transsexual announces to her boss, mother and the world that her intention is to marry her straight lover Maurice during a meeting that her whiny, suburban in-laws will never forget.

“...identification with the milieu...warmhearted...lasting humour...”
Tom Waugh, The Body Politic

JURY PRIZE, CANADIAN STUDENT FILM FESTIVAL 1984

AMOUR IMPOSSIBLE

1986, Canada, Color/B&W, 16mm, 22 min. Docu-fiction

Transsexuals? Transvestites? Skinheads? Anarchy? Street life, hustling and drag are explored with sophistication, emotional resonance and that certain extra something that'll make you want to change the impossible to the incredible.

“ ...moving...dream-like, yearned love...”
Michel Beauchamp, 24 Images

Bread

an Albert Kish film

BREAD

Documentary, 11:00 min, 1983, 16mm, colour, NTSC.

 

Synopsis

Both a visual feast and a didactic tool; from the wheat fields to the mill, from the bakery to the kitchen table, Bread is a dynamic and mouth-watering documentary.

Comparing homemade bread to its industrial counterpart, this hand-cut film will surely stir your appetite. The film’s powerful use of cinematic form is evident in its use of special camera angles that will spark the fancy of the filmmaker that lives within all of us. It also offers a rare opportunity to take a peek deep enough inside the oven to watch the yeast as it rises.

This enticing film starts off with wheat as it is grown and cultivated, and ends with buttered bread on the dinner table. Choosing to reveal variations in the manufacturing process, from bagels to stuffed loaves, the director, Albert Kish, succeeded, without difficulty, to generate a high level of interest about his photogenic subject. This documentary is recommended for all types of audiences; elementary school children, students of the social sciences or from culinary classes, even those in the work force and from other ethnic cultures. In terms of further research on the subject, you can always read the STUDY GUIDE that accompanies the film.

Memoirs

a Bashar Shbib film

MEMOIRS

Fiction, Drama, 82:34 min, 1984, 16mm, colour, NTSC.

 

Synopsis

“An elegantly choreographed and archly stylized marriage of Fassbinder and Archie comics, the Montreal-made Memoirs is basically an end-of-the-world teen romance. A bright-eyed and idealistic young writer named Johnny Daze (Philippe Baylaucq) comes to town prowling for something to write about. What he finds is a sinister back alley forbidden zone peopled by gays, artists, prostitutes, transvestites and virtually every kind of conceivable bad influence. But his absolute undoing (and his initiation into the underworld) comes in the form of a bewitching but volatile artist/garbage collector/femme fatale named Ida Rage (Norma-Jean Sanders). Vampiristically sucked dry of both dramatic and psychological realism, Bashar Shbib's first feature is an exercise in pop-media deconstruction that takes the camp aesthetic to near-apocalyptic extremes. If Bertholt Brecht had directed Risky Business, it might have turned out something like this.” - Geoff Pevere

 

"... a Timothy Leary nightmare after one cocktail too many."
Salem Alaton, The Globe and Mail

“... sinister, stylized New Wave melodrama ... visually interesting throughout, with a rhinestone-in-the-rubble look...”
Janet Maslin, New York Times

"Where has all the value gone?"
Mark Halleck, New York Native

"Imagine Fassbinder without the good acting, passionate intensity or naked self-awareness..."
Robert Strauss, Los Angeles Reader

Evixion

a Bashar Shbib film

EVIXION

Fiction, Drama, 79:00 min, 1986, 16mm, colour, NTSC.

 

Synopsis

Imagine a surreal narrative, without dialogue, in a style reminiscent of the twenties’ silent era and seen through the lens of moving voyeuristic camera that records the odd whereabouts of an unseemly group of marginal tenants. An aging homosexual (Armand Munroe) and his drug-addicted lover (Piotr Lysak), a couple of fitness-freak yuppies (Mark Bérubé and Daphna Kastner), an eccentric haitian lady and her son (Dalours Thornhill and Roland Smith), a punkish, crazy diva (Kennon Raines), as well as other bizarre and incongruous characters. united to prevent their eviction. Watch them unravel in anarchy while they fight against the foul manoeuvres of an ingenious but nasty landlord (Jean-Claude Gingras) and his accomplice (Claire Nadon) who wants them evicted once and for all...

The viewers ask themselves all sorts of questions about this film: “What am I watching?”, “What is happening before my eyes?” This is a film that will make you either leave the theater or keep you glued to your seat until the very end.

"Non narratif, non linéaire..." ("Non narrative, non linear...")
Michel Euvrard, Le Devoir

"...il s'en dégage une cohérence certaine, un humour féroce et une grande fébrilité de cinéaste...de bizarroÎdes personnages punky, surréalistes et invisibles." ("...shows a sure coherence, a wild humour and a lively energetic direction...with outlandish, punkish, surreal, invisible characters.")
Michel Villeneuve, Liaison St-Louis

“Jewels in the garbage” and “The soundtrack...is an accomplishment on its own." and "...those who are attuned to the madly unconventional, will probably be entranced...”
Jay Scott, The Globe and Mail

"EVIXION...is alert, funny, unexpected and, at the same time, very structured, astonishingly rigorous."
Michel Euvrard, Le Devoir

“Une telle frénésie, une telle dépense d'énergie, une telle génrosité libertaire...” (“Such frenzy, such energy, such generosity...”)
Thierry Horguelin, Continuum

“...rabid sense of alienation.”
José Arroyo, Cinema Canada

“...an infuriating experimental film...for seekers after esoteric film making.”
Variety

Cazalla de la Sierra

a Bashar Shbib film

CAZALLA DE LA SIERRA

Documentary, 26:39 min , 1985, 16mm, colour, NTSC.

 

Synopsis

Maria Carmen Ladron de Gueverra is a Spanish entrepreneur – everyone knows her simply as Maria Carmen. She has purchased a monastery of the Order of Saint Bruno, which she renovates in the hills north of Seville. This documentary delves into the heart of the daily lives of the inhabitants of Cazalla de la Sierra and then takes us to visit the monastery five kilometers from the village. It belonged to the Carthusians, an order founded in France in the 11th century. It is one of their four remaining monasteries existing in the region. Of the quartet, this one is called “Cinderella” due to its colorful history. The monastery opened in the 15th century and is located on the “Via de la Plata” (“The Silver Road”). Traced by the Phoenicians long before the birth of Christ, this path still connects the south of Spain to Galicia, passing countless mines of gold and silver on the way.

With its combination of history, spirituality and nature, the site of La Cartuja happens to be particularly telling of the type of people that Maria Carmen hopes to be involved with in her project.

“When the church and the monastery regain their dignity as historical sites, this place will also become a venue for concerts, choral recitals, theater and other pertinent cultural events.” Maria Carmen then asks, “What could be simpler?”

It is then when Susan (Susan Eyton-Jones) and Rikard (Mark Ettlinger) arrive. Susan, the beautiful diva with a superb voice much-admired by Mikael, is the star of his production, Rikard being the cameraman. The two couples hold out their complex inter-relationships.

The crew films the video. It is over with - or is it? Another episode takes place, one of seduction, fear and death that involves Rikard and Melanie.

Clair Obscur (The Stork)

a Bashar Shbib film

CLAIR OBSCUR (THE STORK)

Fiction, Musical, 75:48 min, 1988, 35mm, colour, NTSC.

 

Synopsis

Without dialogue, the film paints the picture of an old farm out in the country, not far from a village that has only one hotel. It is here where Edouard (Jack Spinner) lives with his son, Philip (Paul Babiak), his austere wife, Anne (Bobo Vian), and their daughter, Stephanie (Barbara Zsigovics).

Their daily routine is suddenly interrupted by the enigmatic Pol (Susan Eyton-Jones), a singer who returns to the village after several years' absence. Under her spell, Philip feels inexorably drawn to the hotel where she is singing. In neglecting his family, tensions begin to arise.

Thus ensues an altercation between father and son: Edouard confronts Philip for refusing to accept his inevitable responsibilities, which erupts in a physical brawl. Edouard becomes injured and bedridden. Meanwhile, despite Anne being the mother of Philip’s child, she finds great difficulty in trying to rekindle their marriage. Obsessed by her desire for vengeance, she withdraws into herself by day and at night, takes to sleepwalking. Conflicts between the members of the family reach an eventual climax and the unexpected arrival of a stork culminates in a turbulent, but happy ending.

"... a feast of colour and detail ..."
Ina Warren, The Gazette

“Undeniably original... a daydream that oscillates between the innocent world of children and the violent one of adults... images are as moving as they are strange: the artistry serves both poetry and tenderness..."
Yves Lafontaine, 24 Images

“...the magical quality of the film is well-executed... a lyrical piece...impressions are felt, images linger, moods are drawn... colours are lush...”
Toby Zeldin, Cinema Canada

“A fairy tale for adults and opera lovers... Audacious!”

Julia Has Two Lovers

a Bashar Shbib film

JULIA HAS TWO LOVERS

Fiction, Comedy, 86:16 min, 1990, 35mm, colour, NTSC.

 

Synopsis

This is a movie about truth and fantasy.

The truth is... All of us have fantasies. What if one day you answered the phone and it was someone you only imagined. Telling you things you thought you’d never hear. Making you say things you thought you never could. Making you feel things you thought you never would. Like anything is possible. And the possibility exists for anything. Like something exciting is about to happen. And whatever happens will be exciting.

Love is never an easy matter for any of us, but for Julia (Daphna Kastner) it has always been a particular problem. Living on the beach in Venice, California with her lover Jack (David Charles) in what has turned into a solid but stale relationship, she receives a phone call from Daniel (David Duchovy) who claims he has called her by mistake. The two have a mesmerizing time talking and Julia sets her sights on meeting him. Sure enough, he is even better in person. What is a woman to do? Stay in the safe, comfortable relationship she has or risk it all for what this new man has to offer?

Synopsis

Amelia (Kathleen Horner) and Lai (Andrea Sadler) are two sisters who live in a remote country village. Their tranquil existence is disturbed by the emergence of Slu (Atilla Bertalan) – an old lover of Amelia’s who has narrowly escaped prison. He spends a week with the two women.  Being faced with Lai’s sensitive and fragile beauty, Slu becomes hopelessly attracted. Despite the man’s relentless advances toward her, she resists and an eerie, unrequited love triangle arises. Remaining indifferent to the lust she arouses within him, Lai takes refuge in memories of her youth, which she recounts through poetry and song. In a moment of extreme frustration, the fugitive attempts to consummate his desire for her, against her will. It is then that Lai gives vent to his rage. Passion and tempers rise and fall, flare and die, and when the time is up, death. 15 Ugly Sisters is a poetic film that explores themes of love, attraction and moral bonds between human beings.
