A Unique Opportunity
Director of Photography
Mid-summer. Lazare is on his way to his sister's, the two hitchhikers in the back are going to a music festival. Different generations with different interests – the hitchhikers provide new dynamism in the car. Lazare slowly lowers his defences, but it seems inevitable that their paths will deviate again.
Par-delà les nuages – Le cinéma de Marion Hänsel
Camera Operator
On the basis of conversations with Hänsel and some of her permanent crew members, a remarkable portrait is created of a filmmaker who is also her own producer, i.e. boss. The relationship between characters and their natural environment plays a major role in her work that is often based on novels.
Dreaming Under Capitalism
Director of Photography
We know what labour wreaks on the body, but what less visible imprint does it leave on the unconscious? The nights of twelve dreamers – sometimes recounted in front of the camera, sometimes with a voice-over that accompanies shots of office buildings or urban worksites – reveal how the capitalist system invades the modern-day psyche. Long shots of edifices with smooth surfaces and sheer edges instil a deceptive gentleness. Zombies, corpses, mummies, ghosts, skulls sliced open like an egg and emptied by spoonfuls… The images follow one after the other, no two alike, but the editing organises a gradation towards the vampirism and an insidious passage from night to day, from dreams to real working life.
Backstage Action
Camera Operator
This is de facto a film about a film, with the only difference being that the focus is exclusively on the extras. They are filmed while waiting to take their turn, while conversing with others, and thinking about their performances. Although they take their duties very seriously and long to be stars, for the filmmakers, they’re just people that can be coordinated as necessary, nothing more. This film, on the contrary, gives them full consideration, revealing their personalities, what they experience, and what they dream of. The footage comes from many different places where movies are made, involving extras from all different nationalities.
