Si j'y suis... Épisode 3 : Fake weather

Edited in January just after the Iran-USA crisis, momentarily calmed down by a crowned virus, it contains 4 intertwined threads or related themes.

Si j'y suis... Épisode 1 : Pourquoi me persécutes-tu?

In the meaning of Pascal, 'a war between Truth and Violence' or in the meaning of the Godspell, 'a division between a man and his father (...)'. And because the idea was to adapt Girard's "Achever Clausewitz", the Prussian General, author of 'Vom Kriege'. As far as the film itself is concerned, this means also war between sound and image...

Si j'y suis... Épisode 0 : Esther

In the meaning of Pascal, 'a war between Truth and Violence' or in the meaning of the Godspell, 'a division between a man and his father (...)'. And because the idea was to adapt Girard's "Achever Clausewitz", the Prussian General, author of 'Vom Kriege'. As far as the film itself is concerned, this means also war between sound and image... The film introduces a character in this episode that will probably never appear during the film (or, in the contrary, will be present in every frame of it in some way)... but who knows.

Venus: 99 nights, 2 mornings, 7 visions

Video almanac running from September 2011 to June 2012, Venus visibility period at dusk before its transit towards dawn, 138 years after the "chronophotographed" revolver by Janssen, the first machine to record the time by the image. The predictable and unpredictable, the calculated race of the star and the incalculable (or almost) clouds, the routine and the event, the story and the anecdote - all punctuated by 7 visions. Filmed from a constant geolocated point, to an open window overlooking a French city where a canal and a few planes pass. It's also a family film that would make the reamake of Rear Window:take the measure of the small world, exterior and interior where we live, measure, to take a small place, its place, tell stories, have visions.

V . . . . e (double)

They arrived at dusk at our home. One from Hiroshima, the other from Roma… a tale of the two cities… Another v . . . . e (visite/voyage/visage) paying tributes to Pasolini and Mizoguchi through our guests and to Japanese art seen by Eisenstein in the early 1920s…

De fumée et de misère

The action is in the dialogues, the dialogues are in the boxes and the boxes are in the disorder of all the rooms like the story, also made from scratch in the apartment from where this whole story is filmed, but not all his sides.

Finis Terræ

Mythical birth and ritual of a landscape through the slightly enlarged and stretched form of a video clip. Sometimes before man, sometimes after, perhaps during, a spectral landscape which invites everyone, like a good tourist leaflet, to imagine themselves there.The mythic birth and incarnation of a cross-shaped landscape in a region of France called "The end of Earth" by the Latins and dominated by a 330m high hill called Hom, pronounced "homme" (man) in French but "home" in English could make it too for the translation.

Petite histoire de train de fées dans le train d'enfant en train de naître et d'astronomie

The structure is quite simple and follows the topography of the journey - the rhythm determines the form with the alternance big cities/countryside converted into stations/movements - but through the left window the relation with time and space is not quite the same.. The story is quite simple - A child's birth is on its way and fairies are on their way to the birth too, at least, that's what parents hope - but there are all these "flying thoughts" that come through the window of any train journey and aggregate to it... The "reality" of it is the solar eclipse, N°47 of Saros 126, which passed over Novosibirsk the 1st of August 2008, who appeared near the Hudson Bay (Nanook's home) and disappeared not far from Beijing. Each part (station or movement) is fullfilling the shadow of a musical form and depending on it acquires a very dense structure (as a contrapunctus of many voices, sounds, music) or, on the contrary, a very sober one (no image, just a little voice in the dark, for ex.)
