Famed French ethnographer Jean Rouch (1917–2004) began his long and prolific
filmmaking career in France's West African territories while on assignment as a
civil engineer after World War II. Combining an ethnographer's awareness with
an artist's eye and resourcefulness, he "invented" cinéma vérité
years before it became a popular approach to documentary in the 1960s. Jean Rouch in
Africa- Les Maîtres
fous : The first
of two works by Rouch examining colonialism and displacement, Les Maîtres
fous—once considered controversial but now a classic ethnographic
study—documents a Hauka ritual in which participants become possessed and
transform into their colonial powers. Jean Genet used the film as the basis for
his notorious play The Blacks. (1954, DigiBeta, subtitles, 28
minutes)
June 15 at 4:30-East Building Concourse, Auditorium Jean Rouch in
Africa- Petit à petit : By the late 1960s, Rouch had spent more than
two decades documenting West Africa, and had completed (with Edgar Morin) Chronicle
of a Summer, an anthropological investigation of Parisian life, in 1961. In
Petit à petit (Little by Little), Rouch's
collaborators Damouré
Zika and Lam Ibrahim Dia travel to Paris—following up on plans to expand their
company, Petit a Petit, formed at the conclusion of Jaguar.
"Mesmerizing, frequently hilarious, and a provocative
masterpiece"—Eric Kohn. (1970, HDCam, French with subtitles, 96 minutes)

SUMMER HOURS [L’heure d’été] :After
their mother dies, three very different, distant siblings reunite to settle her
estate, including the dispersal of the valuable art collection that crowds her
country house. Starring Juliette Binoche, Charles Berling and Jérémie Renier as
the siblings, and Edith Scob as the family’s matriarch, Assayas’ thoughtful and
nuanced family drama never veers into melodrama, but is all the more touching
for its engagement with the real-world practicalities of death—the work to be
done, the things that no longer need doing and the dawning realization of loss.
In French with English subtitles. NOT RATED

Famously
dividing audiences at its premiere in the 2002 Cannes Film Festival, this is
one of Assayas’ most ambitious projects, a stab at representing cinematically
the bleeding edge of the high-tech industry, and the ruthless individuals among
the business elite who battle not only for market share but the ability to
manipulate the hearts and minds of millions of consumers. Connie Nielsen,
Charles Berling, Chloë Sevigny and Gina Gershon are jet-setting business
executives in pursuit of a lucrative deal with a Japanese company that
specializes in pornography Web sites, whose 3D imaging software is light-years
ahead of the competition. Their world of private jets, chauffeured limos and
four-star hotel suites also includes corporate espionage, double crosses, dual
allegiances, backstabbing, drugs and murder, all cloaked in secrecy and
justifiable paranoia. The dread-filled, droning score is by Sonic Youth. DIR/SCR
