Asian women, fantasy women

Geishas or schoolgirls, dragon warriors or lolitas, the Asian women has never ceased to fascinate Westerners. But what is behind the profusion of images associated with them? In her very personal way, Sophie Bredier, French director of Korean origin, questions these representations in art and in the collective imagination, meeting artists such as Jean-Paul Goude, Christophe Gans, Romain Slocombe, Mariko Aoyama, Setsuko Balthus... Delving into the paths of creation and traversing fantasies that have Asian women as their object, the trajectory of the film is that of the identification of an imaginary woman and the projections that we make of her.

Rwanda, à travers nous l'humanité

Filmed in Rwanda in April 2004, during performances of the show Rwanda 94, in the context of the 10th commemoration of the genocide of the Tutsis and the massacre of Hutu moderates. How can theatre question reality when faced with the primary actors of the story told on stage? The intense, cathartic, active answer of the Rwandan audience brings to the fore the current concerns of the survivors. What is life like for them 10 years after the genocide? Echoing the issues in the play, "Rwanda. Through us humanity..." allows the survivors of the genocide to speak out, in their current reality, during this special period of mourning. The memory of the genocide is sought out, is established through the traumatic awakenings, the evocations, the disinterment and dignified burial of victims, the fears and worries with regard to the threats that still weigh upon them today.

The Story of Sodom and Gomorrah

The Story of Sodom and Gomorrah offers a comical seventies-style version of the well known biblical account of the divine punishment of the most perverse of men. As its title suggests, the film was constructed using the Village People's disco hit Sodom and Gomorrah as well as gay porn film shot in super 8 in the 1970s. By virtue of the film's editing, the multiple superimposed images accelerate at a crescendo pace towards the film's climactic outburst, due as much to the divine wrath as to the porn actors of this cinematic Sodom and Gomorrah…

Neuf fragments de petites choses instantanées

A family life begins... A life, filmed on a daily basis, a way of wanting to fix events, to stop time, to remember happy moments in the manner of a family film. It is a non-chronological, fragmented video diary. From the fragment comes an impression of reality. The actions filmed are always out of their context, they evolve playing on the principle of «zapping». Plans are linked without relation to each other, creates breaks make sense over time. Sets of planes are associated as concentric circles after the rock fell into the water...
