Who are May and Fusako Shigenobu ? Fusako leader of a<br />
small extreme left-wing group, the Japanese Red<br />
Army– has been hiding in Beirut for nigh on 30 years.<br />
May, her daughter, only discovered Japan at the age of<br />
27. And Masao Adachi ? A screenwriter and radical,<br />
activist filmmaker, committed to the armed struggle.<br />
Amongst other things, he is also the instigator of a<br />
‘theory of landscape’ fukeiron: through filming landscapes<br />
Adachi seeks to reveal the patterns of oppression.<br />
Anabasis ? This, ever since Xenophon, has been the<br />
name given to difficult or even circuitous homeward<br />
journeys. It is this complex, dark story, always full of<br />
tension that Eric Baudelaire has chosen to evoke using<br />
the documentary format. Shot in Super 8, and in the<br />
manner of fukeiron, contemporary views of Tokyo and<br />
Beirut are blended in with archive footage, TV clips<br />
and excerpts from films to spread out the backdrop for<br />
May and Adachi’s voices and memories. They speak<br />
of everyday life, of being a little girl in hiding, of exile,<br />
politics and cinema and the fascinating relationships<br />
between them. Jean-Pierre Rehm<br />

Dok international programme<br />
Anatomy of a Departure presents the director’s family,<br />
who once lived in Ceausescu’s oppressive Romania,<br />
a country with no illusions for a brighter future. With<br />
many difficulties, they immigrated to Germany, to<br />
seek the promise of freedom. Together with this family,<br />
we go back to a haunting decision, which once taken,<br />
successively destroyed the place they called home.<br />
