Wifredo Lam: The Eternal Exile

A pioneer of mixed-race painting combining Western modernism, African symbols and Chinese tradition, Lam pursues the same fight as his close friend and famous Martinican poet Aimé Césaire, “to paint the drama of his country, the cause and the spirit of blacks”.

Wifredo Lam is the first Sino-Cuban artist, and this particular ethnic mixture gives his work its color. Born to a Chinese father, a man of letters and public writer for the Chinese community in Cuba, and a loving and protective mixed-race Congo-Spanish mother, Wifredo grew up surrounded by the lush nature of the Caribbean. A great traveler at heart, he crossed the Atlantic many times during his life, following either his artistic inspiration or his political battles, making him an artist fully committed to his time.
Unfairly misunderstood, this documentary aims to rediscover Wifredo Lam, one of the very first multicultural artists of the contemporary era.

The film follows Wifredo Lam’s granddaughter who embarks on a journey in the footsteps of her grandfather.

Kenzo Takada – La Joie De Vivre

With an unstoppable desire to pursue his dreams, a young Kenzo Takada embarked on a voyage from his native land of Tokyo to Paris – the world capital of fashion. Upon arriving, he only had his talent and 5 francs to live on per day. Nobody would have imagined the pioneering career he was soon to build.

Men weren’t allowed into design schools. Being creative was not accepted in Japanese society in the 1950s.
Kenzo Takada

Leaving post-war conservative Japan and arriving in 1968 revolutionary France, was an eye-opening journey that made him the extraordinary fashion designer that we all know him to be.

Throughout his 30-year fashion career, he combined Eastern and Western elements in his work, accumulating fans from all corners of the world and making him the first truly global designer of the 20th century.

This documentary is constructed as an immersive, sensory-driven journey, giving audiences a glimpse into the life of a free man and a multi-cultural artist.

Poet of cotton and ethnic-chic stylist, Kenzo Takada invites us to travel and to celebrate life…
