L'hôtel des vies reproductibles3mn color mono 2000 Franceby Pierre-Yves CruaudThe private life of several individuals is unveiled before surveillance cameras installed in the rooms that they have borrowed. The film interrogates the role of a calera which has the assigned function of a witness. The eye of the camera captures a number of individuals who become less and less important as it progrsses along its frontal advance... the objective of the camera is to isolate one of the hotels inhabitants, but its gesture will not be very much appreciated.self-productionself-distributionclip Fin de Siècle8mn26 b/w stereo 2002 Franceby Emmanuelle SarrouyIn the end, it's habituelle./ Nothing exceptional./ We eat./ As usual.

A video about things that end. A video about obsession. A video about loneliness. A video about technical degradation. A video about repetition. A video about love...self-productionself-distributionclip Justice !6mn color stereo 2002 Canadaby EltractorThe top of its balcony, the insane one looks at the world. The remote control is in its head...JUSTICE! is a formal exercise. Firquet films its immediate vicinity then it dismounts it in real time under the influence of sonorities of its comparses, Michaud and Montal.self-productionself-distributionclip An elegy to our small selves10mn color stereo 2002 USAby Anita ChangCalmly but desperately I attempt to link the disappearing animal and human worlds. Interfacing the -disappearing- technologies of Super -8mm and 16mm image projection, with the raw technology of immediacy and reality that is video. Captive images of animals and humans in raw form are juxtaposed and documented in a way that speaks more tothe current identity crises of the human race and ultimately, the fragility of beauty, nature and humanity.self-productionself-distributionclip
