Within the video, two screens coexist. On the primary screen, a repetitive action takes place - the photo in the hands is periodically blurred. The focus of the viewer's attention is shifted to the secondary screen, which is more dynamic. The face in front of the camera, resembling clay, tries to take on images from archival photographs and video recordings.

something2025-03-01The first film of the trilogy “discommunication” introduces the viewer to the narrative methods and film language on which the following films will be based. In a short essayistic form, images appear that are redefined when they come into contact with the text. The impossibility to speak, to agree, to understand oneself or someone else generates reactions for which the existing language is insufficient to describe. In trying to express this “intralinguistic transgression” on the screen, one must inevitably resort to abstraction. The transition from the object world to the non-object world seems to me to be one of the few ways to come closer to conveying these states.More...

No data for this movieLiving Memories is a documentary film that traces the history of the director’s neighborhood and native country, Haiti, through a personal and engaged perspective. Brick by brick, through encounters and wanderings throughout Port-au-Prince’s neighborhoods, archival photos, graffiti, and animations, the filmmaker introduces us to architect Léon Mathon and the residential architecture of the early 20th century. Over the ruins of her family home, Dominique, the director's mother, an architect like her father and grandfather before her, searches through her memories and significant places for traces of the past and the history of her country. Many of her landmarks are no longer there. From this tragedy arises a quest — a need to reconnect memory and history to understand the present better. The filmmaker follows her mother during her journey, capturing her reflections and conversations and documenting them to bring memories back to life.Leftovers
