Filmklubben Sandgatan 8 för att se och diskutera film hos Dominikanerna på Sandgatan 8 i Lund.  Vi ser filmer som kan ge underlag för reflektion, filmer som är gjorda med engagemang. Det vi söker är inte film med “budskap” eller ren underhållning, men film som närmar sig världen med nyfikenhet och öppen blick.
Bra film kan fördjupa perpektiven. Där finns det som inte går att förklara, människans och världens mysterium, alla lager av verklighet. En sanning, gömd i den vanliga världen, kan framträda in te minst i de diskussioner som följer på varje film. Under några år har vi sett film bland annat av Andrei Tarkovsky, Robert Bresson, Hirokazo Kore-eda,  Ingmar Bergman, Erik Rohmer, Bo Widerberg, Debra Granik, Kelly Reickhardt och  andra. Vi blandar “svårare” och “enklare” filmer, svenskt och annat - alltid med engelsk undertext.
Höst och vår har vi under en följd av år anordnat FilmDagar med ett valt tema, ett bra tillfälle att se flera filmer av en regissör och gå in och undersöka hans värld.

Programansvariga för Filmklubben 2024 är Magnus Ingvarsson, Viggo Johnsson, Daniel Markus  och Björn Engdahl, dominikanbroder.

Alltid introduktion före och samtal efter filmen, vanligtvis på engelska/ Always introduction before the film and discussion afterwards

English subtitles to all films.

Medlemsskap i Filmklubben, 150 Skr för 2024 tecknas på plats / Membership 150 SEK for all films 2024, registration at the entrance

Filmerna visas i samarbete med Dominikanerna, Domino katolska studenter och Bilda

Imagine being locked in while attending a party and not being able to leave. Voilà, par­ty ambience changes, elegancy fades and it’s replaced by... A satire, a sneak peak on what clould be found behind the curtains.

Spain 1970, 1h39min, starring Catherine Deneuve, Fernando Rey, Franco Nero
In early 20th-century Spain, the true per­il to the innocence and integrity of a young orphaned woman lies not in societal pressures or economic struggles but in the manipulative grasp of her guardian, an older libertine w hose seduction and control force her into a turbulent jour­ney of self-discovery and vengeance.

 SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 21st
17.45 THE ANDALUSIAN DOG by Luis Buñuel, Spain 1929, 16 min, starring Pierre Batcheff, Luis Buñuel, Salvador Dali
The most famous short film ever made? A bizarre, no-sense film written together with the Surrealist artist Salvador Dalí.

18.15 DINNER Please bring something to share for a pleasant time together

 19.30 THAT OBSCURE OBJECT OF DESIRE Spain 1977, 1h43min, starring Fernando Rey, Carole Bouquet, Angela Molina
A relationship tale with twists as surprising as Buñuel’s choice of having two actresses interchangeably playing the same role with large age gaps, left wing terrorism and psychoanalysis, that this is a film from 1977 is however hardly surprising. 

Surreal = SuperReal
The world risen out of the trenches of the First World War needed new expressions, hence the introduction of Surrealism in the arts. The same year René Magritte painted his famous This is Not a Pipe, a Spanish filmmaker made his directorial debut with The Andalusian Dog (1929). He then collaborated with Salvador Dalí, but soon stood on his own feet and would become the supreme master of cinematic Surrealism: Luis Buñuel. His work would demask the bourgeoisie, reveal hidden sexual desires where they were not expected, and thus stir up caustic reactions, not least in the Catholic establishment where he was fully scandalized. But watch his films not merely as blunt satire. They do carry dense, positive meaning, which we may need to work out together (like in group therapy). He was truly a social artist. Relationships between words, images and messages may be skewed, like our feelings, fantasies and beliefs. Paradoxes are only paradoxical in the wrong logic. Buñuel said: “Thank God, I’m an atheist.” He was in fact a very moral artist, whose passionate aim was the freedom of man. The quote continues: “We must seek God within man himself.”                Magnus Ingvarsson, Lund

More films Springtime 2024

Films gathered under the theme of MOTHER

Where is Isaac’s mother, when God urges his father Abraham to sacrifice him?
Why did she leave her son? Why did God leave her out? Or didn’t he?
Where were your mother when you…? Where is my mother?
Is she a person outside me? No, like no other person she is inside me! 
And from that integration I become my mother.

My beginnings: within her and part of her. In her arms the first visavi,
the You and Me taking form. But the imprint of her presence stays in
me, and remains until death. I’m a plant from her garden in need of
her caring love to grow and florish. The mother gives herself, all
her body, to all your body.
My loveliness, my love, where does it come from?
Is it implanted in me by the divine force… in a seed… ?
Was my love brought to me in my childhood, when I cuddled in my mother’s arms,
when she comforted me? Love implanted, inherited, nurtured
– these are the fibers I am made of.
My mother will prevail and fail. When she’s there, she can suffocate me.
When she’s not there, I can miss her. Her anguish can become my anguish,
her will crush my will. She is a trunk of the tree I belong to.
The burdens of motherhood, especially in modern times,
when women shall be everything: successful at work, a sexy mistress, a good friend…
Can’t we let her be? Is there no grace?
The heading “Mother” can seem alien to the films choosen for this Springtime.
In Easy Rider the tough guys have left their mothers behind,
like so many did in the 68 generation – but is she not there, anyhow?
In Love Story, a film from the same time, the mother does not seem
to have any relevance to the young loving couple. Simply out of date.
But where do they come from, and where are they heading?
 In A Tale of Winter, a present mother, listening to her grown-up child.

 

FREDAG 1 MARS 19.15

MIRROR (Spegeln)
by Andrej Tarkovskij, Soviet Union 1975, 1h 48m, starring Margarita Terekhova, Filipp Yankovskij, Ignat Daniltsev
How could this film be made in the Soviet Union ? Tarkovskij tells his childhood story as seen in multiple mirrors – don´t get lost!- or let your self be lost ! - in the fabulous beauty, the earth that guides us to heaven.

by Roy Andersson, Sweden 1970, 1h 55m, Ann-Sofie Kylin, Rolf Sohlman

uncertainty. A real cinematic classic with splendid storytelling.

A Danish 19th century version of Heart of Darkness, the priest becomes enmeshed in both a landscape and a people equally beautiful as unforgiving.

 

FREDAG 15 DECEMBER kl 19.30
Solaris by Andrei Tarkovsky, USSR, 1972, 2h 47m, starring Donatas Banionis, Natalya Bondarchuk et al.
To its form scifi, or perhaps anti-scifi; as for substance, about longing and the construction of memories. Meditative and intriguing, it has inspired several advanced American attempts, and also a remake. Still no movie in the genre has surpassed the complexity offered here. What is happening? And to whom? What is Solaris?
