intro générale
Le court-métrage Zone grise interroge la question récurrente du rapport entre l’art et l’éthique. Dans quelle mesure l’art est-il soumis à l’éthique? Peut-on envisager l’œuvre indépendamment de l’éthique de son auteur?

wstęp ogólny
Film krótkometrażowy pt. Szara strefa stawia pytanie o ciągle aktualne pytanie powracającą o związek pomiędzy sztuką a etyką. W jakim stopniu sztuka podlega etyce? Czy dzieło sztuki może być rozpatrywane niezależnie od etyki jego autora?

The movie deals in a burlesque way with questions of migrants arriving in Europe nowadays. The migrant represented by Clown arrives to Naxos in Greece. Clown looks for his father’s house, but cannot find it. He meets local inhabitants but can not find a common language. In the final scene, the clown meets a soldier who finds a solution.

 

The movie addresses the question of the role of drama today, in the context of growing nationalisms, populism and intolerence. The starting point of the movie is the play by T. Bernhard Dramuscules performed by an amateur troupe in Britanny (Ile d’Arz) in October 2016. The fragments of different theater pieces will be mixed with interviews with directors presenting engaged teater pieces. The narrator presents the doubts he faces, and the difficulties in finding directors willing to be interviewed.

 

Nobody is a tragicomic character. Wearing a raincoat and a creased Panama hat, addicted to his laptop and his cell phone, always hurried and paranoiac, he is permanently looking for something. Sometimes he is a filmmaker prone to doubt and melancholy, directing actors in unlikely scenes. Sometimes he is a mythic police detective who tries to solve a paradoxical mystery: a robbery is committed at a banker crook’s burial… Crushed by the weight of memories from the two World Wars, by the prevailing cynicism and by existential issues, Nobody carries on nonetheless a quest for love and happiness.

 

Bryce Canyon, one of the most beautiful sites in the USA.
After a scientific conference, which took place not far from there,
Redal Namlede and his friend decide to visit it. During the trip,
while they admire the magnificent landscapes, an unexpected
memory comes to Redal’s mind: the memory of Jews in the
Warsaw ghetto during World War II. As he recalls the tragic
testimony of the Jewish doctors from the ghetto, the pleasant
touristic excursion turns into a strange retreat.
