Tributes - ISABELLE HUPERT
Camille is turning nine today. He’d promised his parents that on his birthday he’d shown them the videos he’s been shooting in secret: a cat’s tail disappearing, a window, a woman’s face behind a net curtain – the only unsettling shot… Later on, his mother, Ariane, joins him in the park. Camille seems strange… Leaning against a tree, staring at the ground, he says that he wants to go back to “his” home to “his” mother.

Director
Raúl Ruiz
Coming from the Chilean and Latin American New Wave Cinema movements of the 1960s, Raúl Ruiz devoted his entire life to creating and reflecting on the seventh art, making a total 120 films, initially still in Chile, and then in France, where he went into exile after the 1973 coup d’état, against the democracy of Salvator Allende.
From his first feature, Three Sad Tigers (1968), Golden Leopard in Locarno, to his last two, the multi-prized Mysteries of Lisbon (2010) and the posthumous one La Noche de Enfrente / La Nuit d’en Face / Night Across the Street (2012) [Lines of Wellington (2012) was conceived by Ruiz, directed by Valeria Sarmiento], combining more experimental films with lavish literary adaptations, Raúl Ruiz developed a unique style, breaking the boundaries between documentary and fiction, faithful to a very personal “magical realism”, filled with humor and surrealistic outbursts.
