The 21st of april 2002 was the day of the first round of the french presidential elections. When the results were announced, and when I know that the right wing fascist Jean-Marie Lepen was selected, I was averwhelmed by so many emotions. The film tries to answer those moments, my answer to the deep existential crisis the I then whent throught. How to keep on going, how to fight, how to exist as an artist today...

The character comes to make love, she's just alone. Still impregnated with this act, the body, not standing with the soul, commits to memory with pain that has just happened.The editing \ mixing of twelve positions who scroll the ones after the others frame by frame is an attempt to illustrate a memory in de-construction; the body tenfold artificially tempting to fill the absence of the other.

I wanted to film the forest as if it was the only possible world, a world which would be less of a reinvention than a withdrawal, to assist in its tumbling and capture the nudity. Each branch, each drop and each refection becomes therefore the receptacle of a living earth where the membranes swollen with light pulsate a sort of pantheist celebration. One had to therefore become child, become animal, to scatter for the most brutal reality bears properly phantasmagoric visions, then finally attain what is real via the biggest aesthetic violence. Not through a story but an itinerary, a palpable adventure, an experience.

"Délices" plays on the overlapping of images which, through the pulse of rapid editing, interweave in a graphic and colourful shimmer. Those fluid images combine a body with natural elements in a slow and continuous camera movement. A journey between images, between two worlds, that is symbolically represented by the presence of fish as a link between the surface and the unknown depths of the liquid element : between the conscious and the unconscious.

La vidéo - poésie
3mn55   color & b/w   stereo   2001   France
by Émilie Anthouard

For the realisation of this video, my method was to first of all choose a poem : "Discours pour les grandes jours d'un jeune homme appelé Picasso" d'Aragon. The final objective was to find a structure, codes proper to the video which would permit the establishment of a new form of poetry. The interest shown in artists writing has influenced this choice. My aim is not to propose an illustration of Aragons' poetic text, even less to plate him with images. But, by video, I try to reproduce with the spectator the effects, the emotions which a poetic text produces in its reader. I therefore transcribed this poem into images without going via illustration which heads back to the idea of copy.

Le Patient
11mn10   color   stereo   2002   France
by Clément Zerbola (Hellaimorth)

The video "Le Patient" is a personal statement which came to exorcise the mortal illness from which suffered my father-in-law. I made it for my personal practice in the second semester of my license year in Visual Arts. This short film criticises the helplessness of medicine and translates plastically the obsession, the hope of short term life. Briefly, the tentative to flee and little by little the closing in of the sick person unto himself. A prisoner of his pain, the patient is going to fatally suffer a return to the anticipated void. Minimalist video of which the efficiency was probing up to here, "Le Patient" is above all a visceral production to be watched alone in the dark and with a high sonic volume. In ideal circumstances, media should become physical...trying.

Suppress the epidermic instant of the support, to make a place which witnesses more of the flesh than the skin.

Act on the support as on the image, to arrange the conditions of an encounter which owes nothing to either.

M3

by Stéphane Darioly

The title "M3" is the name of the music by Maurizio used in the film. My aim was to visually represent the rhythmic structure of the piece by isolating each of the sounds. The work proposes four different ways of regrouping these sounds so that they can be easily perceived on the screen. For example : First system : Rectangles running from left to right, their size, their duration and their place of appearance are defined by their rhythmic structure in the heart of the piece. The "clap" is worth two beats (whole note) it's size is therefore twice the "boom" and is situated just above it, and as follows for the rest of the sounds.

"sampleur et sans reproche" is the title of this short film video, and it is, or almost is the title of piece by OPAK ("sans peur et sans reproche") used in the sound track. The work presented here is a precise re-editing of "virages", a one hour film projected during the OPAK concert in Beaubourg the 13/12/02 in the framework of the exhibition Sonic-Process. My working of visual forms is tightly linked to sonic form workings of the OPAK musicians...Never the less, it is not a question of a video mix, neither that of a simple image/music synchronisation. It is a relation so shot/duration, internal/external rhythmics, of editing and consequently of cinematographic language. I therefore searched for an interaction between visual and sonic landscapes that mutually enriched each other, in order to produce a new sense, a new sensation, unedited, erupting from their confrontation rather than a simple ..... sound/image.
