“solitude au masculin”

In “solitude au masculin”, curated by Inge Coolsaet for argos, the emotional struggles of men passed down from generation to generation are observed through the queer and feminist lenses of three films, spanning from the 90s through today. The internal battles of the characters reveal discrepancies, conflicting masculinities, and a distressing solitude. Savina Petkova unravels a tale of longing throughout the short film programme.

Summer is the season for stock cars. In the background, filmmaker Camille Vigny recalls the violent summer of her 18th birthday. As she relates the story of the man who is slowly killing her, the cars become unrecognisable, like a group of smoking but heroic wrecks.
