An exotic documentary about seaside resorts and the foolish rituals practised by the tourists. Divided into four episodes, it is a curious and amusing insight about the summer vacation of the Argentinean. Four accounts that describe seaside resorts as majestic monuments of a lost civilization. These seaside resorts set up unconscious bodies swinging between two poles, full and empty, turning it into a succession of two kinds of images: one that irradiates the movements of its organs, another that reveals its skeleton. The two possible temporalities disable any capture of simultaneous wholes. From the crowd to solitude, seashore cities are placed on an oscillatory movement that varies between the urban and the popular spirit. As supreme leisure centres, seaside resorts allow this hilarious, ironic and satirical account.

The most stigmatized people in Calcutta’s red light district, are not the prostitutes, but their children. In the face of abject poverty, abuse, and despair, these kids have little possibility of escaping their mother’s fate or for creating another type of life. In Born into Brothels, directors Zana Briski and Ross Kauffman chronicle the amazing transformation of the children they come to know in the red light district. Briski, a professional photographer, gives them lessons and cameras, igniting latent sparks of artistic genius that reside in these children who live in the most sordid and seemingly hopeless world. The photographs taken by the children are not merely examples of remarkable observation and talent; they reflect something much larger, morally encouraging, and even politically volatile: art as an immensely liberating and empowering force. Devoid of sentimentality, Born into Brothels defies the typical tear-stained tourist snapshot of the global underbelly. Briski spends years with these kids and becomes part of their lives. Their photographs are prisms into their souls, rather than anthropological curiosities or primitive imagery, and a true testimony of the power of the indelible creative spirit.
