What is political rhetoric? How is a word embodied? How do we establish a listening ear? These are all questions at the heart of so called politics. And just as decisive, who is talking to whom? For Pauline Bastard, whose projects (films and performances) consist of investigating the real and drawing out fictions that strip it back to its foundations, the 2022 presidential campaign offered the perfect opportunity to do so. Here are the bodies of some – you, me, everyone, in short the ultimate political body in a democracy – who endorse, are taken by the game and sometimes the words already spoken by others – well-known candidates. From one word to another, through the gaps that this authorises as much as the unforeseen associations, the exposure is as enjoyable as it is disconcerting. (Nicolas Feodoroff)

Ménestrel

Percelot, aka Grelot, Court Minstrel, could not have dreamed of a greater adventure than to set out on a quest to rescue his beloved sovereign. But on the way, he will have to deal with a strange companion from another world on a secret mission and the whims of Queen Genevieve, whose past is gradually resurfacing. Nothing will be spared him, neither the witch, nor the mage, nor the black queen who will launch her army of Igor followers after them. But Grelot will have to face much more than the follies and traps of each one. He will also have to face their secrets and his own, if he wants, together with Captain Trip, to bring Queen Genevieve back alive and save his kingdom.

Trans - Uniques en leur genre

More than 15,000 people in France feel born in a gender that does not correspond to them. For one year, three people called "transgender" have confided about this feeling and its influence on their daily life: Emma, 63 years old, Aéla, 34 years old, and Zach, 18 years old. Accompanied - or not - in their struggle by their loved ones, each one shares a part of their reality. The program also meets with prosecutors, associations and surgeons to assess the situation, and also gathers the opinions of the relatives of the main witnesses who have agreed to talk on camera.

Moire / Écume

The moire designates the fabric obtained by the mechanical process invented by the Lyon manufacturer Tignat in 1843. This process consists of a partial crushing of the fabric by calendering by folding the fabric on itself. The weft then deviates, and, losing its original shape, offers to the light new reflective surfaces, alternating waves and matt and shiny stripes. It also designates by extension the visual effect (moiré) similar to the one caused by this textile (changing brightness, wavy and shimmering appearance). Scum: 1. whitish foam that forms on the surface of agitated, heated or fermenting liquids. 2. impurities, slag that floats on the surface of molten metals.

Lettre à l'enfant que tu nous as donné

How do we protect our connection with young people? This is the question the film tries to answer by addressing them directly through a voice-over. In a mosaic of fiction and animation sequences, film excerpts, "smartphone" shots and a considerable amount of archive material, the film restores entire sections of our History and our current events, by looking back at some of the major political and social achievements that young people often ignore. "Letter to the child you gave us" aims at inciting them to measure the importance of laws, the stake of democracy, and to push them to the commitment until fighting abstention.
