THE DESTINY OF CLARA B.
LENGTH : 52 MIN EURODOC-PRODUCTION 2003-2004
DIRECTOR : ALEXANDRU SOLOMON
PRODUCER : BONIN CEDRIC
COMPANY : SEPPIA (FRANCE)
The film – a fictional documentary which is mostly made up of reel
archives ; films and photos – tells the fictional story of Clara B, a
photo-journalist born in 1900 in Strasbourg. Nowadays, her life is
reconstructed by another fictional character, Jonas, young man living
in Berlin-Est whom she came to know late in life and whose own
family history echoes the life of our heroine. Jonas's subjective
reconstruction of Clara B.'s story highlights the destiny of a free
woman in the 20th century and provides an alternative insight into
recent events in Europe's history, some of which have had a veil cast
over them.

Né à Bejaia, capitale de la petite Kabylie, Djamel Allam appartient à
cette jeunesse enthousiasmée par l'indépendance mais également
imprégnée de culture occidentale. Il arrive en France à 21 ans. Il a
dans ses bagages les chants traditionnels algériens, arabes et
kabyles, mais aussi les poètes français comme Prévert et les
surréalistes. Des petits boulots au théâtre du Gymnase à Marseille,
jusqu'à ses premiers succès sur scène à Paris, Djamel deviendra en
France un des plus importants chanteurs algériens. Le film dresse le
portrait du chanteur en le suivant dans son intimité et dans sa vie
d'artiste à Paris, à Alger et Béjaia et sur scène à Toulouse.

Per Sempre probes the motivations that lead some women to
choose a secluded life inside religious communities. The film
originated from a basic question that compelled the director to
take a look inside these communities: how can it be possible for a
woman today to make such an extreme and irrevocable choice,
one that lasts forever? This question raises issues that perhaps
cannot be described or explained in words, but that enable us to
catch the essential aspirations behind this choice: the value of
community, the attempt to transcend the ego in a perspective of
faith and love, the sense of discipline as the constant reference
point of an “extra-ordinary” way of life.
