Simple description of her bedroom window.

Film made as part of an audiovisual expression workshop offered to teenagers at the MJC du Plateau in Saint-Brieuc (Christmas holidays 2009).

This is the third “window film” that has been made. For the moment only descriptive of what the eye perceives, in a fully sincere way. Its importance resided in the fact that it was projected to the other members of the group. It has led in its wake to the desire for other films. These first films all have the same title.

To shoot from our homes, not to shoot our homes. Film what we see from your window and tell an important memory about this image, to share it with others we don’t know. Dare to let ourselves be surprised by the movement of our own thought, and dare to share it. An encounter with oneself, with one’s gaze, with the world and with others.

Since 2009, these films that I propose to people to make, from the window of their homes, often very intense, because they deliver a deep sincerity, because we do not see their faces, I have decided to deposit some of them here, to share the emotion and depth that I have received.
