In front of our eyes

Collective film (3’10s, 2021).

19 October 2021 Benoît Labourdette  1 min

Behind every object, the patriarchy


It is a chain, a sequence shot: each person films an object and gives it life, through the voice, putting the object in a situation to evoke an issue related to feminism. The camera is passed from hand to hand, without cutting, and it is like an audiovisual “exquisite corpse”, all the more telling because it is spontaneous, playful, and we don’t know what the others are doing. The quality of the film will depend on the quality of the listening in the group. Before the shooting, we did not prepare the film, but we prepared to make the film, by dialoguing about feminism.

Collective film made by the students of the class of 2021/2022 of the Master 2 Audiovisual and Digital Media of the Université Grenoble Alpes, within the framework of a workshop “Mobile video and immersion” led by Benoît Labourdette.
