Syndicate: Guy Debord at the 57th Venice Film Festival

["anna balint" <epistolaris@freemail.hu>]

"The 57th Venice International Film Festival, which will be held from August
29 to
September 8, will pay homage to the cinematographic work of the French
intellectual Guy
Debord (1931-1994) and to a star of the Polish cinema, the non conformist
director Andrzej
Munk (1921-1961).
The 58th Mostra of Venice will present a retrospective of the key films of
Guy Debord,
"which probably constitute the most secret part and least known" of the main
protagonist
of the situationist movement, according to organizers'.
In agreement with the heirs of Guy Debord, who committed suicide in 1994,
"Howlings in
favour of Sade" (1952), "The Society of the Spectacle" (1973) and "In girum
imus nocte and
consumimur igni" (1978) will be presented in new copies.
They were "invisible for decades because of the explicit will of the
author", pointed out
the organizers of the festival.
Mostra will devote a second retrospective section to Andrzej Munk.
The festival goers will be able to discover (or rediscover) six long films
and fifteen
short films of this director, prematurely killed in a road accident and
who's talent
inspired the Polish auteurs, Roman Polanski and Krzysztof Kieslowski."
