Salut Jerusalem

Director:

Music:

Year of release:

The documentary “Salut Jerusalem” is also called “Hello Jerusalem”. It is more like

an impression with images, rather than a movie or documentary. The film starts with a

preamble to Joseph Kessel who wrote “Les Fils De L'Impossible”, a book with interviews

and biographical sketches of death camp refugees in Israel in 1970. Then, the film shows

an evocation of Genesis with an overflight of the Sinai Mount, the burning bush, silhouettes

of the patriarchs and Apostles. The watcher then falls in the decoration of Judaea: as at the

time of the Prophets, pilgrims go up towards Jerusalem, on the step of the Zealoies, the

Stiffs or the Apostles, to forget all the quarrels of race, nation or religion. They are twelve

different characters, priests, hippies or anarchists in the search of peace. They symbolize

the twelve tribes of Israel, or the twelve Apostles.

The discovery of Israel begins with the Day of Atonement, where the life of the country

stops: the adults are in the synagogues, the deserted streets are abandoned with the plays

of children. After the evocation of the ritual of the Jewish festivals, the film goes back to

Judaea of the Bible. With the variation of the technology of the 20th century, Arabs andBedouins

respect their thousand-year-old traditions; it will be the second stage of our pilgrims: Jericho.

Given up in a tragic way so much of time during centuries, the city is a symbol of hope erasing

the memory of all the exoduses. The tour continues to Jerusalem where one arrives for the

communion of the boys, antiquated ceremonial. The pilgrimage begins again towards the

Monastery of Saint-Sava, in the desert, where always the rage of the Prophets resounds.

It is also the discovery of Neveh-Shalom, future community of three religions where one

builds the city where Juifs, Chrétiens and Moslem will live together. Scene of meal of the

Apostles and arrival at the edge of the Jordan, where Blacks receive the new Baptism.

The film finishes with a vision of Jerusalem Céleste, ground where the hope of a new

life is still possible.

Amore

Director:

Music:

Year of release:

Also known as “Love”. A young architect, Alquié, is sent by the French government to

study a solution to save Venice. The city sinks into the ground. Alquiés collaborator,

an Italian photographer, estimates that the French doesn’t know sufficiently the heart

of the city and his inhabitants to rule of the citys fate. Alquié runs into Marina. (Sonia Petrova)

Marina, enigmatic like the city, attends the two men until the day whenher mother

decides to marry with a richissime compatriot, more interested by the nobility of her

ancestors than by his personal value. Understanding that the Venetian ones prefer to

sclerose and preserve their out of date traditions, Alquié, leaves Marina and Venice.

The music, as the movie, are never released in any format.
