« It is quarter to five. It is quarter to five. Are we ready ? » Quelques cris en anglais émanent de bénévoles assis devant la scène du Town Hall Plaza qui accueillera le discours d’inauguration du 6ème festival du film d’Auroville. Toute la journée, nous avons aidé avec mille et une tâches, monté la dernière tente...

Ayer estuve en una sala de cine, dentro de un grupo de seres humanos. Que alegría estar en una sala de cine llena, junto a un grupo de personas muy diferentes para disfrutar. En la sala había tanta gente que algunos vieron la película sentados en el suelo, sin que nadie se quejase o viniesen a echarlos por algún tipo de norma de...

Una delle cose che più mi piace di Auroville, è partecipare a quegli eventi che mi diletta definire “Eventi di Comunità”. Li chiamo così perché sono eventi a parte, un po’ speciali. Quando ti ci ritrovi dentro, aiutando con l’organizzazione o semplicemente partecipando a giochi fatti, la famosa “Unity in Diversity” la puoi toccare, respirare,...

The sixth edition of Auroville Film Festival, with ‘Ever Slow Green’, opened talking about a fundamental side of Auroville’s history: the forests. Sometimes we forget that here, where now there is a tropical forest, there was once an arid desert. The film reminded us what really has been done here, and what we can really...

I arrived at the 6th Auroville Film Festival as the sun was sinking behind the trees, and everything was already in full swing. The band stand reminded me a little of Ok Jeong’s recent Upcycling show in Citadines’ Centre des Arts, in it’s recycled aquatic artistry. The turquoise backdrop on the stage glowed like an octopuses...

As the clock struck 05:00, the Town Hall slowly transformed into a festive mood and hundreds gathered in front of Le Morgan Cafe for the inauguration of the 6th edition of Auroville Film Festival. Young drummers from Mohanam exited the audience with their wonderful drumming session, as Krishna and Sasi introduced the festival in between. The...

Finally, the film season is here! The 6th Auroville Film Festival starts today and I’m as excited and confused as one of these little fellows. It feels a little bit like the day before Christmas, and Cinema-Santa is bringing many gifts this time! Tens of short films and longer films from morning till evening for...

This is the new world and this is the new consciousness and this is the new Power; it is possible, and it is, and will be more and more manifest BECAUSE it is the new world, because it has never been before. ~ The Mother~ Inspired by the words of Auroville’s founder “The Mother”, and...

4 janvier 2020. Aujourd’hui, l’installation artistique the Fabulous Moose de Lili Dreikhausen et Marco Feira a été montée. Un élan fabriqué de ficelles et de bouts de branches survole le Town Hall Plaza. Surmonté d’un long arc-en-ciel cousu de tissus de multiples couleurs et textures, agrémenté de petites lumières. Ce qui est fascinant dans la langue française, c’est la...
