Paris, end of August

The social consciousness

The meeting with the exclusion is the mirror of our anxieties. We always try to forget, to flee what frightens us, it is a natural defense reaction, whatever its level of “social conscience”.

The movement of the filming of this movie contained forgetting the SDF which was filmed at the beginning of the plan, however, very closely. This omission which took place in seconds, which was my experience, has given rise to a more in depth work on emotions and form : to feel the way our forgetfulness happens.

The small and the great history

This omission on the scale of a few seconds, what becomes of it across the Big Story ? Let us not forget that we believe less ... it’s the same on a different scale, so this is huge.

The coexistence of two times

I tried to stage visually by a gradual doubling of the image throughout the film, the desire to remember that everyone is still in it, despite its weaknesses. This ghost image is to my mind the memory of hope that there is in each.
