However, some of them are used by pharmaceutic and food companies to produce agar powder. The nearby factories producing canned fish and phosphate fertilizer pollute water and air. This documentary uses performative interventions which erase the distinction between the human and the natural to explore the multilayered relationship of the locals to the ecosystem which is a source of both awe and their livelihood.

Brothers from the lower east side play hooky, for the last time. The film was created from a film started, but abandoned after a fire gutted the 5 story tenement building that housed the actors on the 2nd floor and the film studio of the fifth. The week before there was a murder of a tenant on the 4th floor. There was a sort of turf war between the hells angels who lived across the street and the film over an empty lot next door. A documentary film, "Making HOOKY" 1997, and book of Photographs, STREET SHOTS HOOKY, explains bette what happened. But in 2021 a beginning and ending was written and edited using other existing footage from the same time and place.

“I filmed my friends between 1995 and 2000, in France, with a Hi8 camcorder. We were in high school: we smoked firecrackers, we watched movies, we listened to music. We were sixteen, twenty, we were partying”. The director revisits archives of his youth. Once it seemed an accidental documentation of shared life, full of hopes and anticipation of the future. Now these grainy video images contain the whole universe, non-existing anymore. It is inhabited by shadows, including the passed away friend. Eternity is found in cinema, in which time is regained, according to Léo Liotard.

One day, Jean-Christian Riff notices two boys playing a mysterious game under his window. He films them. This is the starting point for a film that, without the camera ever leaving its unique position behind the window, progressively opens up the circle of perceptions and emotions to the dimensions of the world. The space makes this cosmological miracle possible : a bus stop, a riverbank and the river that runs along it, but also the filmmaker’s appartment, where daily life and its sounds resonate : a multiple scene upon which pass time, seasons, beings of all ages and conditions. This film is its author’s last, as he died just after having finished the editing. It is life itself, made poetry. (Cyril Neyrat)
