J'entends le noir (with English Subtitles)

J'ENTENDS LE NOIR (WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES) is an original semantic exercise in which the subtitles gradually emerge from their traditional function to acquire autonomy in relation to the image and thus provide information about the conditions of production of the film. The story, supported by a voice-over, is based on a series of haunting images showing the body of a woman dead in a forest, then carried by a naked man: it is the story of a crime of passion. But this story is gradually diverted by the gap between the narration and the subtitles, then by the sound interventions.

Corpusculaire

A man recalls a sexual encounter. The structure of the film is based on a mixture of refilmed scenes, restructured voices, pornographic extracts, erotic tales and whale songs. It is an essay on the representation of the male body in gay pornography which makes reference to the corpuscular theory (also called the wave theory). According to this physical theory, light is created by the discontinuity of matter and energy.

Mémoire de Lavoir

It's one of those places where you can wash your clothes until very late at night, a place of ceramics and neon. He enters with his stuffed bag and throws it onto one of the many machines waiting for him there.
