Calendar (Through the Lens)

Show & Culture

Screening of Atom Egoyan’s Calendar. A photographer and his wife travel around Armenian churches to take pictures for a photography calendar. During the journey, the wife befriends their driver while the husband becomes increasingly jealous. “Like all Atom Egoyan films, Calendar is a device of divergent gazes and desires, a puzzle whose final piece must be placed before the image emerges.” (Les Inrockuptibles) “By retreating behind his camcorder, the photographer chooses to distance himself from the action. From privileged witness, he becomes the director of his own misfortune.” (Positif)
