Poster Ivens retrospective 1983, Lisbon

Since April 1983, it is the first time that Portugal shows again a large Ivens retrospective of about 40 films. The 8th DOCLISBOA International Documentary Filmfestival is screening from 14 - 24 October every day in a chronological order a kind of time travel along the 20th century with Ivens` film oeuvre.

 

Marceline Loridan-Ivens is attending the festival. She will open the retrospective, lead a Masterclass on 19th October and make several introductions about Ivens` oeuvre and her own films. A unique event is the screening of her documentary l`Algérie, ánnée zero, about the fight for independance in Algeria.

According to DOCSLISBOA Ivens is a leading figure, a supreme role model and founder of documentary film: Joris Ivens, the flying Dutchman (1898-1989). Ivens’ monumental body of work, filmed on five continents, brings into focus the principal historical, sociological and ideological changes that took place in the world during the twentieth century. His work affords us a fascinating view of a world in rapid transformation.
Joris Ivens, an inveterate traveller, provides a splendid example of how to successfully cross poetic imagery (Rain, The Bridge, La Seine a Rencontré Paris) with political engagement (Spanish Earth, The 17th Parallel, Comment Yukong Déplaça les Montagnes). His last partner and co director on over a dozen films, Marceline Loridan-Ivens, a survivor of the Nazi extermination camps, will be in Lisbon to give a master class. She will discuss the path she and Joris Ivens’ travelled through the history of film, and political participation through film.
