One Hundred Steps EXPERIMENTAL FILM. 30 min. Germany  / France 

The eighth film work by Bárbara Wagner & Benjamin de Burca references the oeuvre of Bob Quinn, Irish filmmaker whose productions in the 1980’s were dedicated to deconstructing the hegemonic Eurocentric imaginary and elaborating on the role that North African cultures played in the formation of Irish culture. Through an anticolonialist approach, Quinn’s work (‘Atlantean’) remains an important historical document which is more relevant nowadays than ever. The film invites the viewer to enter two distinct and seemingly mirrored chapters: the first is set in a sumptuous 17th century Anglo-Irish colonial manor located in the South of Ireland, and the second in a 19th century stately mansion built by a bourgeois French family, located in the center of Marseille, in the South of France. Each of these houses carries the weighted atmosphere of its privilege in their architecture and décor - a history now preserved, as both have become museums open to the public.
