Devouring Buddha (Korbett Matthews, Québec, 17 min., Eng. Subtitles, 2002)
In the 1970s, the Tuol Sleng Prison in Cambodia—a former high school—was used by the Khmer Rouge as a detention and torture centre. The thousands of people who died there are among the wandering souls of Cambodia: without a proper burial, they continue to haunt the land. The filmmaker follows the ghost of one little girl, killed there decades earlier, who fatefully returns. An experimental documentary, Devouring Buddha combines evocative visuals and sound with actual photographs of the victims. A meditation on genocide and its aftermath.

Au cours des années soixante-dix, les Khmers rouges ont transformé une ancienne école secondaire, Tuol Sleng, en centre de détention et de torture. Les milliers de personnes assassinées en ce lieu comptent parmi les âmes errantes du Cambodge. Privées de cérémonie funéraire appropriée, elles hantent le pays. Ainsi, chaque année, le fantôme d’une fillette revient… Documentaire expérimental, Devouring Buddha monte en parallèle images, sons évocateurs et photos des victimes. Une réflexion troublante sur le génocide cambodgien et sur ses séquelles.

Fix: The Story of an Addicted City (Nettie Wild, Vancouver, 93 min., s-t. fran., 2002)

Honest, poignant, but most importantly unsettling. Director Nettie Wilds camera captures how severe the situation is. Drug addiction has not only created a rampant drug problem but increased collateral problems like prostitution and violence, not to mention the very issue of human rights. Dean Wilson used to be an IBM salesman. Now he is possibly the most outspoken drug addict in Canada. As president of the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users (VANDU) he is a loud and articulate advocate for street addicts from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, one of Canadas poorest neighbourhoods, and the site of the highest HIV rate in North America. The film began shooting in 2000, documenting events leading up to the historic opening of North Americas first Safe Injection Site in Vancouver on September 21, 2003.

Sincère, poignant, mais avant tout destabilisant. La caméra de la réalisatrice Nettie Wild nous dévoile la gravité de la situation actuelle. La dépendance la drogue a non seulement favorisé la présence accrue de la drogue dans les rues, mais a également augmenté les dommages collaté- raux tels que la prostitution et la violence, sans parler de la question même des droits de l’homme. Dean Wilson était un employé de IBM. Il est désormais l’un des drogués les plus connus au Canada. En tant que président de VANDU (le réseau des consommateurs de drogue de la région de Vancouver), il se bat pour les drogués du Downtown Eastside de Vancouver, l’un des quartiers les plus pauvres au Canada, qui a le triste honneur de posséder le taux de séropositivité le plus élevé en Amérique du Nord. Le tournage du film a débuté en 2000. Il léve le voile sur les événements qui ont abouti à l’ouverture historique Vancouver le 21 septembre 2003 du premier centre d’injection sécuritaire en Amérique du Nord.
