Beginning of an Unknown Era

Two young directors adapted the short stories of two Russian authors whose works had been banned for decades, and so their film ended up in the censor’s vault as well – for twenty years. Both tales look back to the post-revolutionary era: 'Angel' speaks tragically of the brutality and destruction of the time, and 'The Homeland of Electricity' captures its haunting grotesquery.

33 ⅓ Revolutions per Monkee

33 1⁄3 Revolutions per Monkee is a television special starring the Monkees that aired on NBC on April 14, 1969. Produced by Jack Good, guests on the show included Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Little Richard, the Clara Ward Singers, the Buddy Miles Express, Paul Arnold and the Moon Express, and We Three. Although they were billed as musical guests, Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger (alongside their then-backing band The Trinity) found themselves playing a prominent role; in fact, it can be argued that the special focused more on the guest stars (specifically, Auger and Driscoll) than the Monkees themselves. This special is notable as the Monkees' final performance as a quartet until 1986, as Peter Tork left the group at the end of the special's production. The title is a play on "​33 1⁄3 revolutions per minute."

Since the 1960s, each presidential election has been an opportunity for the various parties in the running to present their campaign clips on French television. Sometimes overflowing with inventiveness, more often sober, even sad, and sometimes frankly of bad taste, they remain privileged witnesses of the political history of the country. By dissecting several recent or much older videos, José Bourgarel offers through this documentary a journey into an unknown microcosm, engaged in the realization of a most delicate exercise of communication and of which he unveils on this occasion all the workings.
