Jean-Luc le Tenia (1975-2011) is the author of more than 1,300 songs, produced in a hurry, minimalist and melancholic. Becoming a true legend during his lifetime in Le Mans, the singer is considered the French Daniel Johnston. From his complex relationships with others, particularly with women, and from his deep psychological suffering, he created songs that many still sing. In this film, enriched by archives and interviews with those who knew him, historian Hervé Guillemain reconstructs the influences, practices and singular journey of a multifaceted artist by placing him in the history of French song and the alternative punk movement, in the landscapes of the city of Le Mans. Between art, psychology and history, Alors je fais des chansons is a film which, by observing the creative process on an individual level, ultimately questions the notion of art brut.

Animation, performance and hand processed black&white film combine to describe the body repeatedly succumbing to gravity and to horizontality. Pixilation, typically used to attribute physical superpowers, in this case renders actions that are suspended, directionless and thwarted. As multiple superimpositions accrue, the individual body is submerged by a mass of limbs.

A study of the concept of noise intended not only as an unpleasant sound but also as a visual artifact. The so-called high sensitivity in digital cameras allows us to see in the dark by adding an artificial grain to the video, sacrificing its quality. In these night shots, noise is not avoided but rather enhanced, thus creating abstract, hypnotic images that pulsate slowly.

I hate Kodak color negatives. I promised myself I'd never buy them, but in a batch of film I found two of these cartridges, so I decided to test myself. At first, I had the idea of using them only to capture a year's worth of sunsets edited in camera, but then I realized how pointless it was to limit myself. Two Rhine maidens debut in my prelude. The first (cartridge) is bitter, the second is much sweeter. Both are connected although for different reasons to my feature film "Shadow of the Valley." One introduces it, the other puts an end to it. It took me a little less than a year to finish filming this short, perhaps because I didn't believe in it at all.
