Synopsis

Dadaist poet, apatrid artist, creator and publisher of some of the most beautiful books of the 20th century, Ilia Zdanevitch, aka Iliazd, is a little-known but major figure of modern art. Almost half a century after his death, Ilia, a young apatrid, sets out on his trail. Driven by an eccentric energy and a taste for changes of speed and register, in the wake of Ilia, Stanislav Dorochenkov composes an eccentrically disproportionate portrait of their model. From his native Georgia to Marseille, where his archives are kept, each point invents a singular method through which to reactivate Iliazd’s thoughts and life. Artist friends resurface, phrases populate images, film becomes book, patiently fabricated through the rediscovered motions of the lithographer.

Poète dada, artiste apatride et zaoum, créateur et éditeur de quelques-uns des plus beaux livres du XXe siècle, Ilia Zdanévitch, dit Iliazd, est une figure méconnue mais majeure de l’art moderne. Près d’un demi siècle après sa mort, Ilia, jeune provocateur apatride, se lance sur ses traces. Porté par une énergie excentrique et par le goût des changements de vitesse et de registre, Stanislav Dorochenkov compose dans le sillage d’Ilia un portrait à l’excentrique démesure de leur modèle. De sa Géorgie natale jusqu’à Marseille, où ses archives sont conservées, chaque station natale invente un mode singulier d’activation de la pensée et de la vie d’Iliazd. Ressurgissent les amis artistes, des phrases peuplent l’image, le film devient livre, patiemment fabriqué par les gestes retrouvés du lithographe.

a film by Valentina Bek about the writer Yuri Mamleyev

Motto – 38 rue du Vertbois – 75003 Paris
____________________________________________

“A family portrait of the Mamleyevs in a tight interior of a small Moscow apartment is an experiment in metaphysical documentary filmmaking. Yuri Mamleyev, the author of a great prose about Russian chthonic tradition. His wife, translator Maria Alexandrovna Mamleyeva, flips through a photo album with the pictures of Parisian and American exile. But the eerie time reverberates somewhere near these scenes of unpretentious coziness, in the editing voids and the disturbing hum of the abstract soundtrack.” – Andrey Kartashov

The event is organized within the framework of the cinema club and Film Association K1NO1 Paris.

Information about the most famous novel, ‘The Sublimes’ by Yuri Mamleyev, can be found here

The main character is the electric train type ED4M, one of the most common in Russia since the mid-90s. This small detective story unfolds on newsprint, featuring carriage vestibules, doors, handles, and wanted persons. It immerses the audience in the realm between the living and the dead, accompanied by the sound of wheels clattering, exploring space, ritual, collective recognition, and personal experience. The Tbilisi weekly sports newspaper served as the prototype for this book.

ED4M (Electric train Demikhovsky, type 4) is a series of Russian DC electric trains produced from 1996 to 2016 at the Demikhovsky Machine-Building Plant. The first batch with increased comfort was manufactured for the Moscow Railway between 1999 and 2000. During this period, ED4 and ED4M models became the most significant electric trains for local purposes.

Zine features photographs by Ivan Anisimov taken between 2019 and 2022 before he left Russia. Further shooting was continued by his son Danila, who took four rolls of 35mm film in winter 2023. Zine design by Aeona Melnikova.

Screening is a documentation of the printing process of a zine in a print facility, Tbilisi.

Ivan Anisimov was born in Pereslavl-Zalessky, Russia, in 1988. For more than 10 years, he has been engaged in documentary film and photography, collecting archives from lost photographs and videos. He has carried out several photographic projects and is now based in Paris, France.

The event is organized within the framework of the cinema club and Film Association K1NO1 Paris.

SCREENING + Round Table

Round Table starts at 8:00 PM

QUATERNITE
by Egor Shevchenko

Motto Paris is very happy to open its autumn/winter screening sessions with artist talks and round tables in collaboration with the K1N01 Association.

This video artwork was inspired by the I Ching 易經, an ancient Chinese divination system.

The work represents random combinations of 64 episodes, shot in France in 2018-2019. The story revolves around four characters lost in the narrative of the story itself.

Additionally, the work was created using the I Ching: the coins were thrown before filming each episode to determine the location, the actors, and the events to follow.

Soundtrack by Gela Lomaya

Round Table
THE CRISIS OF NARRATIVE IN CINEMA

Narrative – history haunts people. At some point, the narrative crisis touched literature and was marked by the works of J.Joyce, A.Bely and then S.Beckett. can we feel “again” necessity to discuss such modern movements in contemporary cinema, It’s crisis and ways out. will we rest everything in status quo and will continue to be the part of the narrative automatisms in life and in cinema.

We invite everyone concerned to join the conversation; those who wish can prepare a presentation on the topic.

If you’ve got an extra chair, bring it to the round table
