"Les Malheurs d'Émile Cohl" shows the ravages of time on the copy of the film "Les Chapeaux des belles dames" which Émile Cohl shot in 1909. Slowing down the most damaged parts of the film from the father of the animation, Gérard Courant has succeeded in creating an object with abstract shapes and, paradoxically, in giving another life to Cohl's work." --Courant

"Every Good Friday, since 1980, I film the ceremonial of the Stations of the Cross of the Passion of Christ in Burzet, in an isolated village in the Ardèche, where the inhabitants, for seven centuries, dress up to celebrate and perpetuate this religious rite. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Burzet's 2021 Passion of Christ Ceremonial has been canceled. To compensate for this cancellation, I tried an experiment..." Says Alain Paucard of the film: "Courant reworks the images, passing from realism to a sort of expressionism which, enlarging the line, warms it."

Compression The Birds de Alfred Hitchcock is the reduction of The Birds, Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 masterpiece with Tippi Hedren and Rod Taylor, from a 2-hour film to a 5-minute film. The film is "compressed" in the manner of a work by Arman or César. But unlike the work of these artists who compressed everyday objects, Alfred Hitchcock's Compression of The Birds compresses an artistic object!

This distinctly personal journey into the artistic possibilities of independent film is not to be missed. Jonas Mekas, Jean-Pierre Gorin, Robert Kramer and many other visionaries and mavericks of the silver screen – as well as a book seller, a critic and a psychoanalyst – discuss what cinema has meant to them, what it is and what it could be and, implicitly, how it has changed over the 18 years in which this film was shot. Director Boris Lehman leads the charge, drawing in moments of absurdist humour and inventive camera work; he keeps things raw and spontaneous. His encounters with the now much-missed Jean Rouch and Stephen Dwoskin are particularly touching and stand testament to their personal playfulness and candour. An engaging, absorbing, epic odyssey of a movie.

"On the occasion of the premiere of Nel Regno di Napoli in Cannes in 1978, Werner Schroeter gave me an audio interview about this film and about his work in general. Our meeting took place on the terrace of the Hotel Majestic, in the midst of excitement of the Cannes festival life, a few days after the screening of Nel Regno di Napoli and in the presence of the photographer Jean-Claude Moireau. Vivre à Naples et mourir is the audio capture of that informal meeting that happened on 20 May 1978 and which is, as per director's wish, more like a casual conversation than an interview in the strict sense of the term (a set of questions and answers).

Courant registered Garrel’s dialogues in order to produce his first urgent film, the first of his essays inquiring the state of current cinema. As a synthesis for the 20th century, Garrel invoked his relationship with Freud, Henri Langlois, Orson Welles, Marx, The Rolling Stones, Godard, Warhol, Picasso and Bergman and draw a territory in that different kind of cinema also inhabited by Courant’s art. Four years later –as a sequel, and a first example of Courant’s series– there was another meeting with Garrel, where again the filmmaker adds names related to his sensitivity, such as Murnau, Von Stroheim, the Lumière brothers, Abel Gance, Polanski, Rivette; the writers André Breton and Gabriele d’Annunzio; and the actresses Anna Karina, Nico, Zouzou and Maria Schneider –three stars of his films.

"Compression de À travers l'univers" is the reduction of my film À travers l'univers from 1 hour to 18 minutes into a 4-minute movie. The film is "compressed" like a work by Arman or Caesar. But unlike the work of these artists who compressed usual objects, this self-compression reduces a purely artistic object. The tour de force and the bet of Compression de À travers l'universe was to make a total compression: in this film, there is no lack of a single shot of the original film!

The film represents the autopsy of Saint-Marcellin, a small village in the Isère Region where I spent my childhood during the 50s. Through the Universe displays, in alphabetical order, all the 127 streets and 17 public squares of the town (updated to the period of the shooting, in 2004-2005), all shot following the same rules: in a 20-second-long wide, static, single shot. Every vista is preceded by the sign indicating the name of the street or plaza.

Trying to describe oneself is a movie about representation. How it is possible, through film, to describe oneself and describe others. With the camera as mirror and third eye. At first, a collage-like combination of letter-writing, investigation and journey, something between documentary and feature film. Finally, a portrait of Boris Lehman from 1989 to 1995, part II of BABEL.

Les Deux Lucy is a short documentary portrait of the shooting of Raphaël Bassan's film Lucy en miroir. It's the opportunity for us to look at one of our contemporary filmmakers and important film critics of what we call in French cinémas differents, meaning a different way of making films. Our making of offers the opportunity to follow, step by step, the making of this short film with scenes shot on the set, and to listen to comments by the filmmaker about his work.
Jonathan (voice)
The fortuitous meeting of two women to the identical first name, Lucy, who formerly loved the same man, Jonathan, induced, in this film, of the polysemous variations on the memory, art, and the difficult relationship between creation and emotional life. Dehumanized by an exclusive artistic practice, the man lost his reference marks little by little. "Lucy en miroir" wants to be, also, a shifted and transverse second reading of "The Contempt" ("Le Mépris") of Godard, by a step more plastic than analytical or conclusive.

Why choose cultural personalities? How do the subjects look at their image? How much exhibitionism and narcissism is involved in being filmed?

Encore Cinématé ! is a fake Cinématon by Gérard Courant, the author and designer of this famous film series. It is not part of the anthology and is therefore out of collection. However, he has all the characteristics of an official Cinématon but the filmmaker, who had just lent himself to the cinematon game a year earlier, on the occasion of the 2000th portrait of his collection, did not want to overload his fetish series with new portraits of him. He preferred not to integrate it while ensuring that this portrait has a real existence, that it is visible and that it is a film in its own right.

There are certain recurring themes: travel, desolate landscapes (especially in the Vivarais region), love of the cinema, the pleasure of wandering through towns, the side effects of my filming (in this episode, the Diary of Joseph M). We also encounter the same obsessions and concerns: the influence of the seasons, the fascination of faces, the taste for colours, the importance of the memory of places and people.

This new episode of the Notebooks is entitled The New Desert (4 March 1998 to 26 November 1998). These are years of cinematographic maturity in a world that is searching for its bearings and has not found its bearings following the collapse and disappearance of the USSR and its communist satellites. It was a period of indecision and uncertainty. Are we happy? Is one unhappy? Nobody really knows. I travel, film, watch the events that come before my camera. I travel, film, watch the events that come before my camera. But I only retain the most insignificant or the most unusual, those that do not make history but are my history. My eye lingers on what others don't look at, on the banality of things, on what television and mainstream cinema ignore.

Across the city, a Canadian megalopolis, Gérard Courant's images, blurred and faded, write the sound of Kraftwerck. Synthetic, techno... it illustrates movement, speed, rhythm. From the woods on the outskirts to the large, wide avenues, passers-by see the big cars go by. Night follows day, in the big city, pedestrians are anonymous.
Voyage au centre du monde is, following an invitation from the new Belgrade town hall and the government of the Republika Serbska, the film brought back by Gérard Courant from his trip with a group of writers in Yugoslavia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

On the occasion of the shooting of his film Chambéry-Les Arcs, entirely devoted to his passion for cycling, Gérard Courant met the writer and journalist Pierre Vavasseur, the scriptwriter and journalist Alain Riou and the filmmaker Luc Moullet with whom he shares this passion. Pierre Vavasseur, from Le Parisien, invited Gérard Courant to follow a mountain stage of the Tour de France and Alain Riou, who is used to the great passes of the Alps, suggested that the filmmaker cycle with him on the same stage a few days before the riders.

Following on from Le Passé retrouvé, we find the same litanies that were the charm of the previous episodes: travel, the love of cinema, my filming and the passion for cycling. The same concerns are present: the fascination of faces, the cult of friendship and the importance of places.

A bicycle race is held every year in a pass of the Alps called Parpaillon. With the energy of a skillful cyclist perhaps as a great tribute to François, the mailman played by Tati in The Big Day, Moullet makes a comedy by pedaling at a pace that allows him to reinvent the possibilities of film gags. La Cabale des oursins is a guided tour to the northern France, transformed into a Geography lesson in the pataphysical style of an Alfred Jarry disciple.

La Terre des Vivants, is serenity in the midst of an increasingly fast-moving world. This new part of the Filmed Diaries is spread over only six months (from 1 January 1992 to 30 June 1992). In response to this agitation, The Land of the Living is nothing but calm and contemplation. These are slow journeys on Swiss soil (Geneva, Lausanne, La Chaux de Fonds, Bienne), in the Morvan, the Bugey, Cherbourg, the Southern Alps. And Paris seen from its very bowels: by slow boat travels on the Seine.

Le Nouvel Hiver is a slightly disillusioned reflection on the state of the world (the fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of the USSR, the Gulf War), the events of which are the thread of this year's Notebooks (1 January 1991 to 31 December 1991). Of course, these Notebooks are far from this sinister current events because life is elsewhere, in creation and in a quest for the absolute. And then, Le Nouvel Hiver takes us into surprising encounters (with Ken Loach, Brigitte Lahaie) and transports us to places I can't live without (the Ardèche in the North).

A diverse group of guests gather in a small hotel in Paris to contemplate the state of their lives in this pretentious drama. Joseph Goldman (Fernando Rey) is a washed-up Hollywood actor making a living in the dinner-theater circuit. Accompanied by his wife Sarah (Carole Regnier), Goldman meets Frederique (Berangere Bonvoisin), who is hiding from her former lover. French financier Arthur (Fabrice Luchini) hopes to get into the film industry and bends the ear of a British director (Michael Medwin). The talkative film has little action, and none of the characters evoke much interest or resolve their dilemma.

Un jour l'hiver finira is an episode of Gérard Courant's filmed notebooks which is mainly devoted to the recording of three programmes on Radio France Berry Sud. In the first, on 17 March 1986, Gérard Patrigeon invited Pierre Laudijois and Dominique Marchès to talk about the retrospective of Gérard Courant's films that would take place a few days later. In the second, on 21 March 1986, Gérard Patrigeon invited the same two as well as Gérard Courant to discuss the screenings. In the third, Christian Daumas invited Pierre Laudijois, Dominique Laudijois, Gérard Courant, the child Martin Laudijois and the artist Philippe Vacher to make a positive assessment of this retrospective. In this programme the announcement is made of the organisation of a future independent film festival.

Two New York women, Kristin and Doreen, live a black and white life, but in color of Gene Tierney, a star of 40’ Hollywood melodrama, while listening to the old songs of Marilyn Monroe. They go from one extreme to the other (from dream to reality, from day to night, from black and white to color), and so travel symbolically through this timelessness. Kristin disappears and Doreen is lost is the big city. Her meetings with Marcel, a filmmaker, then David, a sculptor, accomplish nothing, and she is destroyed by daylight. But her Memory of Gene Tierney triumphs over night and death, and Cinema can continue.

On 15 December 1980, Joseph Morder, with the joyful complicity of his Morlock compatriots, created the Morlock Academy in the salons of the Club Pernod on the Champs Élysées in Paris. Three weeks later, Gérard Courant brought together Joseph Morder, Guy Pezzetta and Jean-Claude Réminiac, the three founders of the Morlock movement, to talk about the genesis of the group.

In this new opus of the Carnets filmés we find his pronounced taste for travel (West Berlin, Marseille, the Pyrenees, the Southern Alps) and his life devoted to filming (the feature films Coeur bleu, Vivre est une solution, Spoonful, La Neige tremblait sur les arbres). Also noteworthy in 1980 was the appearance of a ceremony that would be filmed every year: the re-enactment by the villagers of Burzet, in the Ardèche, of the Passion of Christ.

The film of the image is the reproduction of 160 photographs (of films, advertisements, news ...) filmed in variable durations (more and more slowly, then more and more quickly). What do we see? Looks. Hand gestures. The film of the voice is not a comment. Neither a voice-over: in no way does this voice have such a status and even less the character of an exhibit for a better understanding of the film. On the contrary, she perverts, disturbs, worries.

"This is the story of a search, that of a woman in pursuit of her own identity. This woman, Marie-Noëlle Kauffmann, ventures into the world of representation, meets four characters who, each in their own way, give her a key to cross the five sequences/initiations of the film which are all benchmarks that she must absolutely cross to have an answer to the question: Can cinema help find a lost balance?" -Gerard Courant

Cinematography
Cinématon is a 156-hour long experimental film by French director Gérard Courant. It was the longest film ever released until 2011. Composed over 36 years from 1978 until 2006, it consists of a series of over 2,821 silent vignettes (cinématons), each 3 minutes and 25 seconds long, of various celebrities, artists, journalists and friends of the director, each doing whatever they want for the allotted time. Subjects of the film include directors Barbet Schroeder, Nagisa Oshima, Volker Schlöndorff, Ken Loach, Benjamin Cuq, Youssef Chahine, Wim Wenders, Joseph Losey, Jean-Luc Godard, Samuel Fuller and Terry Gilliam, chess grandmaster Joël Lautier, and actors Roberto Benigni, Stéphane Audran, Julie Delpy and Lesley Chatterley. Gilliam is featured eating a 100-franc note, while Fuller smokes a cigar. Courant's favourite subject was a 7-month-old baby. The film was screened in its then-entirety in Avignon in November 2009 and was screened in Redondo Beach, CA on April 9, 2010.

This is the sound recording of the interview that Michael Snow, filmmaker, sculptor, photographer and visual artist, gave to Gérard Courant for the magazine Art press, published in February 1979, in its number 25. A great connoisseur of the Canadian artist's work and one of the first to pay tribute to him in 1973 in the magazine Zoom, Noël Simsolo accompanied the two filmmakers at the beginning of the discussion.

Vivre à Naples et Mourir (Entretien avec Werner Schroeter) is the sound recording of this informal meeting, which took place on 20 May 1978 and which, as the filmmaker wished, is closer to a casual conversation than to an interview in the strict sense of the term with its game of questions and answers. In a second phase, I put this soundtrack into images using photos, posters, programmes, extracts from Werner Schroeter's films as well as collages created for the occasion.

Gérard Courant applies the Lettrist editing techniques of Isidore Isou to footage of late 70's pop culture. Courant posits that his cinema offers an aggressive détournement to the French mainstream, reifying a Duchampian view of film: "I believe in impossible movies and works without meaning... I believe in the anti-movie. I believe in the non-movie. I believe in Urgent... My first full length movie that is so anti-everything that I sometimes wonder if it really does exist!"
