  Collective films

Within the framework of professional trainings, educational workshops and other cultural activities, I regularly propose the production of collective films. Strong moments of group formation, sharing of imagination. Here is the principle: in plan sequence, the camera is transmitted from hand to hand, each person giving voice to an object, which they film.

More than 200 such films have been produced since 2010. Find some of them here.
