Quattro Stagioni

For twenty years I lived in the same apartment in Paris. The “landscape” that I was looking at through the window became my home, my living space. It was also a kind of calendar, a watch: the passage of time, the passing of the seasons. When I left, I made this film to physically keep with me images, details, lights, colors, textures whose sight and existence were essential to me. I filmed static shots by inserting blacks of varying duration between them. I superimposed different shots six times on the same film, changing their duration and that of the blacks. Each layer therefore has its own rhythm determined in advance. In the end, the series of images fit together like segments of memory.

Finding Vivian Maier

Vivian Maier's photos were seemingly destined for obscurity, lost among the clutter of the countless objects she'd collected throughout her life. Instead these images have shaken the world of street photography and irrevocably changed the life of the man who brought them to the public eye. This film brings to life the interesting turns and travails of the improbable saga of John Maloof's discovery of Vivian Maier, unravelling this mysterious tale through her documentary films, photographs, odd collections and personal accounts from the people that knew her. What started as a blog to show her work quickly became a viral sensation in the photography world. Photos destined for the trash heap now line gallery exhibitions, a forthcoming book and this documentary film.
