Jeune cinéma
Director
Jeune Cinéma is a footage film documentary about the famous yet forgotten Hyères Film Festival which took place from 1965 to 1983. It was at that time the most important in France just after the glamorous Cannes Film Festival and a friendly place to discover young directors such as Gilles Garrel, Akerman, Helma Sanders, Schroeter or Carax before they became a legend for the art-house film amateurs. Hyères was a vivid space for passionate debates, incredible polemics and above all surprising encounters. In a word, it was THE place to be for all the cinephiles. If it suddenly disappeared in 1983, it is not only because of internal and political conflicts but also for an unfair competition with Cannes. The « Perspectives » section at Cannes, widely inspired by Hyères, was attracting those same young talents discovered there. My personal history as a filmmaker is deeply tied to the “Collectif Jeune Cinéma”, which was in charge of the “Cinéma Différent” section.

Pauline à la plage, les autres dans le couloir
Director
Variation on a fixed sequence of a corridor taken from Erick Rohmer’s Pauline à la Place. At the end of the corridor, there is a door that one can open or shot. This door and the action around it is the focus point to Rohmer’s film. In mine, the plot focus more specifically on the left door, the one we won’t see on screen.

Amort is a 35mm trailer of an action film, spoiled by bleach and by digital process.
Libertine X 6
Director
At the start of each new verse is added an overlay layer of the same offbeat images and sounds. It follows a result close to phasing, the technique developed by Steve Reich. Reich used tape recorders to repeat the same portion of sound with a time lag between the two parts, the classic cannon technique. In the canon, different voices interpret the same melodic line, but in a different way: this shift produces a superposition of melodies, that is to say, a counterpoint. Counterpoint is a discipline of musical writing whose object is the organized superposition of distinct melodic lines.
Polaroid versus Roman Photo
Director
Variations around a photograph of Charlélie Couture and her musicians. Ruth's music that accompanies the film has nothing to do with it except that it is French and from the same period. It serves to underline the fact that the starting material is a fixed image which by the magic of cinema comes to life. If I dared, I will evoke Marguerite Duras through a quote from Laure Adler "This novel, these photos can be read like a photo novel".
Plouf
Director
After the juvenile fashion of "Air Guitar" (mimicking the gesture of a guitarist without having the instrument in hand), here comes "Air pool fuck". A man and a woman make love here... each in his own pool.

Director
Sexuality is not a serious subject of study, it is also an entertaining practice.
Un air défaite
Director
Basil and his gang have profited well. They deserve a good spanking.
Hybride
Director
The alarm rings. It’s time. What time ? Time to fuck! And if the woman is emacipating herself by sleeping with another woman it’s the moment for the husband to discover them together. From here the film is metric, which is to say that all the shots are constituted from 9 images or their multiples. The film is named ‘Hybrid’ because different shots from different films tell the same story, that of the man who fucks the woman who fucks the man. All in all of the man who fucks the man.
