It must be said that the band has benefited from a big boost by opening for Metallica between 2008 and 2011. Machine Head made its debut in 1994 with the furious Burn My Eyes. An album that has become a classic of the genre! At the other end of their discography is Of Kingdom and Crown, their ninth album released in 2022. Machine Head's participation in festivals is rare!

For this new work created for Le Générateur, Jacques Perconte sensually captures the high mountains, the camera listening to a few mountaineers suspended in their efforts between skies and stones, their hearts vibrating to the rhythm of their gestures, balance between two dimensions : there and here. L'Effort, le monde transforms the 400m2 of the Generator into an immense porthole, like the cockpit of a strange ship discovering a land that we can no longer see without thinking of the infernal machine that makes us powerful. The film has neither beginning nor end, in a continuous movement it accompanies its visitors outside of time. Thus propelled into another dimension, the space of the Generator allows a journey to be made sitting or standing, or leisurely while strolling.

6 p.m. In the gray sky, clouds hide the last rays of the autumn sun. A young man, Noah, stands in a bus, staring into space. His body, squeezed by the crowd, sways uncomfortably with the movement of the vehicle. He is wearing a suit that is slightly too big, his tie is loose, and one of his shoelaces is untied. Everyone on the bus seems exhausted and weary, emotionally drained, absorbed in their phones. The noise of the engine and the passengers' conversations buzz in Noah's ears. Suddenly, a ray of sunlight dazzles him, and he turns his head away. At that same moment, a starling flies out of the light.
