Synopsis:

Double Labyrinthe: The female body and mind: for a different definition of the relationship between the unconscious, the senses and communication. Political dimension of female identity. Political dimension of the body. Political dimension of poetic language. Political dimension of the Super 8. Torture: In 1976, Maria Klonaris and Katerina Thomadaki direct with the Collectif 010 in La Cartoucherie in Vincennes a 48-hour action, Torture, which is recorded on tape by Jean Roualdès. In 2012, after the digitization of the original video tapes by the Bibliothèque Nationale of France for the Klonaris/Thomadaki Archive, the two artists proceed to a reinterpretation of this document, highlighting the characteristics of the 1/2-inch video format. This video is a trace of a public performance, where bodies, even under constraint, blinded and gagged, manifest their protest power against coercion. This performance against torture is one of the first examples of the art of the body theorized by the two artists. Flash Passion: Flash Passion is one of the very first films that the two artists made in Athens when they took up the super-8 camera and extended their theatre practice towards cinema. Here, Maria Klonaris looks at/films Katerina Thomadaki. 3. VII. 1973: Portrait of Katerina Logotheton, grandmother of the filmmaker, two years before her death on 3 July 1973. Smoking: SMOKING is a brief portrait of Maria Klonaris composed of seven shots. Katerina Thomadaki completed it in 2016, two years after Maria Klonaris' passing, from rushes shot in 1975 at the time of the filming of DOUBLE LABYRINTHE. The Greek word that appears at the beginning of the film, ???????????, signifies 'meta-image' and refers to retinal persistence.
