Director
Writer and pedagogue Fernand Deligny influenced a number of artists and French intellectuals. His work on autism influenced Deleuze and Guattari's theory of the rhizome. Francois Truffaut turned to his ideas to complete Les 400 Coups. Throughout the film Deligny plays with the possibilities of the camera to live and think closer to the human subject, offering with Le Moindre Geste a unique film to the world, one of most fascinating in French cinema. Situated [visually] between mountain western and integral neorealism, the film tells the story of two teenagers, escaped prisoners of an asylum, running away through the Cevennes.

Himself
Fernand Deligny speaks of the object of his observation: autism. He talks about it as the researcher he is, with approximations, questions and gives us the most accurate picture possible. By successive keys, he brings us into the troubling enigma of a world without language. He puts us on the watch, with him in an unknown land. He addresses the filmmaker Renaud Victor and Renaud Victor share his dazzlement: he films intelligence at work.
