As
“mOOn Over tOwns mOOn
whisper”,
we open the courtyard again this year to share our friendship and love for films during summer nights. We screen bold and fearless racing girls on Friday night, four short video works of artists who undertake journeys to find mythical, pointless, missing and everlasting stories on Saturday. On Sunday, Moons of Cavia will end with a classic underground feature film. Afterwards the moon won’t really disappear, yet it might appear to grow
“SLoWLY SPRoUTING SPIR
IT”*.

FLAMMES
Adolfo Arrieta | 1978 | France | 82’ | EN subs

An essential masterpiece of the underground French film scene, Flammes is considered by many to be Adolfo Arrieta's best film. A Spanish filmmaker and poet exiled in Paris in the 1970s, Arrieta made a couple of features and several short films, which have rarely been screened outside of France. Flammes tells the crazy story of a young girl in love with firefighters since her early childhood. She causes an imaginary fire in her parents' house in order to kidnap a firefighter in her room for several days. From childhood love to the awakening of feminine desire, the film is a mixture of gracefulness and perversity. Expect lyricism, dreams, poetry and desire.
