Vivement ce soir
Cinematography
The film records a day in a supermarket in the Brussels region. The story of this day's little events, both comic and touching, provides the general framework of the film. The situations which are conveyed through an accumulation of quick, light touches, highlight some of the ways we behave in connection with food, the repetitive element in our gestures and movements in this everyday, enclosed world which is so familiar. The film is based on the observation of a supermarket and the people who shop or work there. More and more of their various personalities emerge in the course of the day. They all have their importance: we get to know them from the outside, like people in a group photo where each has his own place. All these individuals cross each other's paths, meet each other, bump into each other again and fill in the framework of the film with a many-sided tableau.

Ne pas stagner
Cinematography
This film is not a document about madness, any more than a film-truth investigation. It is a reflection of the experience of the Club Antonin Artaud's theater group (social and cultural rehabilitation center for the mentally ill, located in the Begijnhof district of Brussels and in which Boris Lehman was a leader for many years). Through the playful and instinctive creation of a piece built from collective improvisations, the actors' desire is expressed to "not stagnate, to be able to get away with it and to stand on its own".
