Movies

Paris Joints de vue
Director
Part of the Paris Mental larger work in progress : experimental cinematographic visions of the city of Paris. Here two sides of the Paris underground : aerial and subterranean, flying from Jaurès to Barbès-Rochechouart, and walking in the labyrinths of the Place de Clichy subway corridors.
Bal
Director
Bal is a pensive self-portrait by Dominique Willoughby and his most dazzling film. His face in extreme close-up is slightly anamorphosised. This is a tête-a-tête between Dominique Willoughby's face and his camera lens whose position the viewer assumes, and during which his eyes follow the movements of his own face. The movements of the face are short and sampled, multiplied and super-imposed filling the screen with a multitude of faces, with abrupt movements, turning, and yet nonetheless connected. But the jolting of the faces has a reflex brutality, as if they were activated by a mechanical force.

Masses Turbulentes
Director
Coloured micro-drops sprayed onto transparent film stock, small dots spread at random in a space indifferent to the filmstrip's division into frames. This produces an abundance of effects: swarming, flurries, Brownian movements, ephemeral and vibratile forms, slowly increasing in number until they darken the screen, golden flashes of visual crumbles. What is projected onto the screen, as much as the film and its dots, schemas and drawings are moving figures, perceptual and mental motifs, visual modes that are created by the viewer's reception and interpretation of this visual "information".
La perdue
Director
A sequence of non-abstract visual impressions on a theme open to all interpretations.
