Trois Mers & Quatre Terres

dir Stéphane Charpentier 2024 with photography by Stéphane Charpentier & Super 8 by Damien Daufresne

Bande son improvisée
Alyssa Moxley (field-recordings, synthétiseurs)
Gaspar Claus (violoncelle)

'Trois mers et quatre terres’ est un film avec bande son jouée live. Les images de Damien Daufresne et de Stéphane Charpentier nous entraînent dans un voyage suspendu : on quitte une ville sans nom pour des eaux inconnues, et on dérive vers des horizons vierges dessinant les contours d’un monde retrouvé. Dans le sillage d’une jeune fille voguant au gré de mers et de terres désertes, le spectateur glisse dans une expérience hors du temps et de ses repères. La bande son live de Alyssa Moxley et Gaspar Claus nous immerge au rythme des images dans des paysages sonores organiques et envoûtants.

Thèmes : exil poétique - retour à la nature - la possibilité d’une île - quête d’un nouveau monde - innocence de l’enfance - horizon féminin

daphne was a Torso Ending in Leaves

dir. Catriona Gallagher 2024 13 mins

Daphne was a torso ending in leaves is a playful and witty ode to a star of classical mythology: Daphne. Here, the beautiful nymph, who was metamorphosed into a tree to escape a stalking God, is celebrated as a heroine and master of her destiny. But this cinematic gem, shot on 16mm is above all a rich filmic experience, in which images and sound are meticulously intertwined to immerse the spectator in a universe of myth and legend.

SURRENDER YOUR HORNS

dir. Bryony Dunne 2022 61 mins
Surround 5.1

After snorting powdered horn, a lonely Irishman undergoes a Kafkaesque metamorphosis into a rhino-headed man. Embodying both hunter and hunted, he guides us into a series of real and fantasy worlds. Documentary footage merges with the Theatre of the Absurd-style performances of unicorn nightclubbers, reproductive biologists, and horn smugglers. This tragedy comes into existential focus as rhinos are not only hunted in life but also in death.

Trailer for Killing the Messengers (Dir. Bryony Dunne / 2020)

Manteis — or “diviners,” ones who interpret omens — were known to use birds as “divine messengers” in ancient Greece, deliberately seeking them out in times of crisis. In Killing the Messengers a team of scientists carry out ornithological research on the remote Greek island of Antikythera, where thousands of migratory birds rest and refuel before continuing their journeys across the Mediterranean Sea. Like the Manteis of the past, these scientists are seeking messages, too, regarding birds as “exceptional indexes for tracking environmental risk factors”.
