DESCRIPTION:\n	France. Dir. Marie Voignier. 2011\, 78 mins. Digital project
 ion. With Hinterland (FID 2009)\, shot in East Germany\, Marie Voignier in
 troduced us to spaces with multiple strata in which layers of history\, th
 e present\, and the imaginary cannot be distinguished. The Hypothesis of t
 he Mokélé-Mbembé ploughs similar ground\, while carrying us far from Europ
 e\, to south-eastern Cameroon. The explorer Michel Ballot has meticulously
  mapped out the jungle and the muddy riverbanks in search of a mysterious 
 animal unknown to zoologists: the “Mokélé-Mbembé\,” a prehistoric hybrid o
 f rhinoceros\, crocodile\, snake\, and dinosaur. Is it a real animal or a 
 mythological beast? Ballot questions the Pygmies\, installing a camera to 
 film the river during his absence\, seeking traces\, trying to find clues.
  From this obsessive quest the contours of a ghostly Africa are drawn in n
 egative\, more imaginary than real\, an object of fantasy\, a mental space
  made of silence\, stamped with a colonial vision\, discrete but insistent
 .&nbsp\; \n\n\n	Preceded by: \n	\n	A Third Version of the Imaginary&nbsp\;
  \n	\n	With filmmaker Benjamin Tiven in person\n	\n	Kenya. Dir. Benjamin T
 iven. 2012\, 12mins. Digital projection. The question of language\, its re
 presentation\, and its links to the image are brought forth through poigna
 nt and revelatory means in this very short and intense film. Set in a film
  library in Nairobi and guided by the manager of the site\, we follow a pr
 esentation of archival footage shot in Kenya. Tivens’ enigmatic film—an as
 semblage that makes subject of the archive and its containing materials in
 extricable its own—develops complex questions around the politics of the c
 onservation and preservation of images. &nbsp\; &nbsp\; \n\n\n	\n	Free wit

 y reserve tickets in advance by calling 718 777 6800. For more information
