Charleroi, le pays aux 60 montagnes
Charleroi, the Land of 60 Mountains
Mit dieser phänomenologischen Untersuchung des belgischen Industriestandortes Charleroi schafft der Filmemacher ein vielschichtiges Porträt einer europäischen Stadt im Umbruch. Ehemals Zentrum der Kohle- und Stahlindustrie, war Charleroi lange Zeit auf dem Abstellgleis. Inzwischen ist die Stadt im Strukturwandel angekommen. Doch wie der Begriff verrät, ist auch das nicht Zustand, sondern Übergang. Der Film erzählt von der Vergangenheit des Orts und blickt dabei in die Zukunft, widmet sich René Magritte und dem Entdecker des Urknalls.§Die Bewohner eines Obdachlosen-Camps kommen gleichermaßen zu Wort wie Schlüsselfiguren der Stadterneuerung.
I have always wanted to leave Charleroi and always wanted to film it - to record the passing of time there. I return to the city, caught between a buried past and a future yet to be invented.§This is the portrait of an industrial city with its collapses, mutations, landscapes and language. A film that features René Magritte, a camp of homeless people, key figures in urban revival, the inventor of the Big Bang, Les Zèbres (Royal Charleroi Sporting Club), socialism, the mute astonishment of childhood… A back and forth through different space-times from which emerge, backlit, the lights of the Black Country. (Guy-Marc Hinant)
