Fin (Konec)

"Fin" is an amazing short movie directed by the Armenian film-maker Artavazd Pelechian. 

"Fin" est un magique court-métrage du cinéaste Arménien Artavazd Pelechian.

Dans le train de Moscou à Erevan, Pelechian filme en 1992, caméra à l'épaule, des hommes et des femmes d'âges et d'ethnies différentes. Tous pris dans le cours du voyage, toute figure se dilue dans sa contemplation et tourne à l'abstraction. "Fin" est un hymne au voyage où l'action est rythmée par le son du train lui-même.

In the Moscow/Yerevan train, Pelechian shot during 1992 men and women of different ages and ethnicities. All caught up during their journey, together in spite of themselves, any figure is diluted in its contemplation and turns into abstraction. "End" is a hymn to travel where the action is punctuated by the sound of the train itself.

“I decided to rearrange some of my favourite songs, which I have been performing live for years. Recorded live and captured in the iconic Studio S2, one of the recording studios of Polish Radio in Warsaw. The hall is fully covered with light wood, which reminds me of other Radio Studios all around the world - like Funkhaus in Berlin for example. There is a kind of intimacy when playing the little piano in this huge and also very high venue.” Hania Rani

 

 

 "Con Moto" is composed by Hania Rani & Dobrawa Czocher’ a preview of the upcoming october album "Inner Symphonies". The video was shot in the historic auditorium of Kraków’s Juliusz Słowacki’s Theater.

 "...acoustic instruments and majestic architecture on the one hand, synthesisers and the modern feeling of our work on the other..."

"Hamlet"  with the Tiger Lilies...
The unclassifiable style of the group has been described as a Brechtian cabaret with very dark humor, as an eccentric fusion between the burlesque of the 1930s and the English music hall or as the missing link between Tom Waits and the Monty Python. Their style is inspired by post-war French song, gypsy music or Italian opera.

 

Le style du groupe inclassable Tiger Lilies est décrit comme un cabaret brechtien à l'humour très noir, comme une fusion excentrique entre le burlesque des années 1930 et le music hall anglais ou encore comme le chaînon manquant entre Tom Waits et les Monty Python. Leur style s'inspire de la chanson française d'après guerre, de la musique gitane ou encore de l'opéra italien…
