Separations has been awarded with a prize at the Femina Festival in Rio de Janeiro.
A quote from the jury report: "The award for best outstanding female goes to D. Edith Seligmann in the film Separations, from Andréa Seligmann Silva and Mieke Bal. Diaspora brings us closer to the grandiose presence of D. Edith. With her, the transversality of her life has no limits in the female world. Her prominence is inevitable in the eyes of those who want to see a better world."

Separations a film by Andréa Seligmann Silva & Mieke Bal
83 minutes
In this autobiographical film, a diasporic Brazilian family is reunited in São Paulo. All five siblings, at one time or another, have established themselves abroad. While exploring the reasons behind this connection to the foreign in her family, Andréa, a filmmaker living in Amsterdam, interviews the members of her family. They all evoke a psychotic crisis their mother had five years ago. So Andréa begins to focus her inquiry on what took place then and on the traumatic events of a generation ago.
Edith, Andréa’s Jewish mother, was three years old when her parents escaped from Nazi Germany in 1939. The question of the migratory now turns both backwards and forwards, and danger becomes as potent a motive as attraction to foreign places.

State of Suspension, a film by Mieke Bal and Benny Brunner. Starring Yossi Atia & Itamar Rose. 82 minutes
Two Israeli comedians dress up, take on & come down on their compatriots.
State of Suspension is a drama of fragments in 9 chapters; an unusual and provocative look at Israel, sixty years after independence.
Posing as “Patriotism Inspectors”, Israeli comedians Yossi & Itamar interrogate passers-by to check if they have served in the army; masquerading as officials shooting a Foreign Ministry video, they ask Jewish and Arab Israelis to apologize for the harming of innocent civilians. The hilarious interaction of these daring comedians with Israeli society, revealing aspects of its deep psyche, forms the film’s backbone, complemented by unique archival material, compelling interviews and dramatic situations.

Fragments of Matter: Jeannette Christensen. Bergen: Bergen National Academy of the Arts, 2009
"Mieke Bal’s essay provides an extensive exploration of the issues of time and materiality relevant to Jeannette Christensen’s work. Referring to Bergson and Kristeva, Bal develops an understanding of matter as being in itself temporal and of time as living duration, both being essentially continuous and open-ended. She uses these concepts to look specifically at a language of porous and changing matter at work in Christensen’s art, and at the ways the works visualize or mobilize experiences of time that challenge the monumental time of history." ---Anke Bangma (adjunct professor Bergen National Academy of the Arts)

Already a seminal work and international classic, Narratology is revised and updated in this third edition to include an expanded analysis of film and treatments of modernist texts. With changes prompted by ten years of feedback from scholars and teachers, Narratology remains the most important contribution to the study of the way narratives work, are formed, and are received.
