Since the 90s in France, under the Vigipirate anti-terrorism plan, mobile barriers have been used in public spaces to modify and regulate their use. Originally designed for temporary public order missions, they were installed on a permanent basis in streets, squares, parks, in front of town halls, schools, religious buildings, museums, etc., to establish secure perimeters and control flows arou...
How do you reconstruct the image of a grandmother you never knew when her memory has been veiled by a family taboo since her passing in 1946? Between the spoken and the unspoken, we hear intertwined voices gradually unveiling Germaine's story. Memories of her children remain vivid, yet they are accompanied by haunting questions from the past. What if this family secret mirrored the experiences ...
It was a winter day in Madrid. I took the express train "Puerta del Sol" to Brussels. At that time, Hendeva was the final station for our trains. The Spanish tracks and the French tracks were not of the same width, a defensive measure implemented by Franco’s government. Disembarking from the train, I held my suitcase tightly in one hand, while the other clutched my passport. In the dead of nigh...
Located in Nantes, Le Masque is a legendary bar for several generations of night owls, activists and local residents. Behind the counter, Josy, in her 70s, still brings her personal touch to this atypical place. As we push open the bar's door, we also enter into its intimacy. From barroom gossip to confidences, find out who's behind Le Masque...
A work of electroacoustic music by composer Félix-Antoine Morin created from recordings made in North India in 2013.
Emmanuel Vigier finds a diary in a street in Marseille. At first, he doesn't know the name of its owner. Then one day, he discovers it on the first page. He begins to investigate the life of a woman with the people who knew her closely. A story of music, injustice, and social decline is woven; a sonic portrait created in complicity with Gery Petit.
Fos' life and body were governed by her community, her father, her husband. Submissive and silent, that is what was required of her. To better mark this control, she was inflicted with the seal of submission by being circumcised at the age of 6. Fos never wanted to be that woman. Exiled in Belgium, she realizes that the word woman deserves another definition, that a woman has the right to the i...
On the banks of the Congo River lie huge open-pit quarries. Men, women and even children work here. Stone is still being broken with hammers and iron bars. Next door, a Chinese competitor is blasting the ground with explosives.
"How bad is your pain right now? On a scale of 1 to 10, how high is it?" Behind the white curtain of an operating room, an abstract decor is set up, that of a journey that would find its source in the heart of a wound. Thus, in a semi-conscious state, I receive the visit of the centaur Chiron. He shows me a passage, a tiny space, a synapse, from which comes a very strange song. Initia...
Loin derrière j'ai laissé mon jasmin
L'histoire de trois Syriens, depuis leur rencontre en 2002 sur les marches de leur université à Damas, jusqu'à l'arrestation de deux d'entre eux en avril 2012 par le régime d'al-Assad. Trois intellectuels de Damas réfugiés en Occident, devenus activistes un peu malgré eux, qui partagent leurs souvenirs et cheminements jusqu'à la révolution syrienne.
The director’s grandmother has to move out from her apartment. However, she suffers from syllogomania, a psychic disorder that results in a pathological accumulation of objects.
Somewhere in Russia, life has (re)organized itself, with its ghosts, fears and desires for the future. Spaces in the city to produce or fix things, to keep alive a parallel economy, a sort of craft hacking. The destiny of the Soviet garage cities tells thirty years of the underground history of capitalist Russia, where mutual aid and the instinct of survival are still alive.
At 14, Lucie learns that she was born with MRKH. This "congenital syndrome" affects the sexual organs and therefore, sexuality and identity. This discovery shakes her up profoundly and challenges her preconceptions. She writes down her questions and reflections throughout the years. At 46, she reviews her journey between her inner storms and periods of calm. To which point one has t...
Women are coming back from within themselves, struggling to become mothers. In a text, they tell the disappointment, the dizziness, the abysses, the shame ... They tell how to hide this emotional void from those around them, how this child becomes a persecutor, how crazy and intrusive thoughts happen. And the desire to die. And yet love too. And the difficulty in finding help, appropriate suppo...
“Two rounds of interviews took place in two cities two years apart. About fifteen people came to meet me to talk about their perception of sound. Through the telling of a personal story, each and everyone told how sound can act as a refuge in certain circumstances. " Chantal Dumas
Virginia, Aram, and Vardan whisper their feelings. Through their breath one can hear their stories take shape: stories of exile, memories of Armenia, one morning when the wind blew, when they had to leave everything behind.
To have the right to live by "earning a living" as one earns salvation, to "convert" as one would to a religion, to "get promoted" and rise to the heavens... Yes, but beneath our work, our lives are lived. Colette, Anaïs, and Manuel deliver a story about the physical, psychological, and social marks left on us by our work, and what that says about our living conditions today. Here, we find no c...
