A Country More Beautiful Than Before
Director
The wanderings of a retail trader, Jean-Simon, sketch the contours of a microcosmic informal economy in Congolese society. The financial urgency of everyday life is permeated by the political situation in Congo: a larger, more abstract urgency, which the diaspora experiences from a distance. The film finds itself somewhere in between these two imperatives, between here and somewhere else, the past and the present, small money and big money.
28 Rue Brichaut
Director
A history is not only a narrative of things past, it is also a way of sharing individual and collective experiences as well as the forms and signs that give them shape. Every history is an arrangement of silent testimonies and discursive traces allowing us to be where we were not. In this age of archaeology and geology, everything speaks: every form, every entity, every image. An exploration of the history of a place as a poem of history; a history of a presence as the presence of all histories.
Moving, Playing, Not Moving
Director
A short documentary essay on the relationship between man and horse, landscape and map, movement and stasis.
