Compression de À travers l'univers

"Compression de À travers l'univers" is the reduction of my film À travers l'univers from 1 hour to 18 minutes into a 4-minute movie. The film is "compressed" like a work by Arman or Caesar. But unlike the work of these artists who compressed usual objects, this self-compression reduces a purely artistic object. The tour de force and the bet of Compression de À travers l'universe was to make a total compression: in this film, there is no lack of a single shot of the original film!

L'Homme Atlantique de Marguerite Duras par Gérard Courant

Made in 1981, before Dialogues de Rome , her last cinematic work, L'Homme Atlantique is Marguerite Duras's penultimate film (Les Enfants, filmed in 1983 and often wrongly attributed to her, is a film she merely supervised and which is credited to her son Jean Mascolo and Jean-Marc Turine). L'Homme Atlantique is the most radical film by the author of Hiroshima Mon Amour . It is partly composed of outtakes from Agatha , her previous film, and primarily of black images. The soundtrack is a reading by Marguerite Duras herself of her text L'Homme Atlantique, which was published in 1982 by Les Éditions de Minuit. I had discovered this film at the Hyères International Young Cinema Festival and I had the opportunity to dedicate a column to it for the magazine Cinéma 82, in issue 277, dated January 1982. Marguerite Duras's L'Homme Atlantique by Gérard Courant is a filming of this text on a title bench, interspersed with black images. (G.C.)

Les Fils du vent

They hold a "travel permit" instead of an identity card; they are free, poignant and brotherly. They are the "Brothers of the Wind" as filmed by Bruno Le Jean in a music documentary: Angelo Debarre, Ninine Garcia, Tchavolo Schmitt and Moreno. Django-style swing permanently caresses their guitars. It is not so much the concerts that Bruno Le Jean has captured but rather the soul of his heroes. He does so using images and a sense of composition and movement that has everything: emotion, humour and poetry. Crafted with tact and sensitivity by a "gadjo" who truly understands gypsy culture, Les Fils du vent is an indisputable success.

Abba, Bee Gees, Carpenters

What do Abba, the Bee Gees and the Carpenters have in common? More than 800 million albums sold, non-stop hits. Despite this, the music press initially wrote disparagingly about them: Compared to rock, their sound was considered too slick, their outfits uncool. 40 years later, they are celebrated superstars. This two-part documentary, structured like a before-and-after report, tells the story of three bands who were initially despised for their music and performances, but today, decades later, are more than a cult.
