Discussion in English

Filming is about bringing one or more beings to life on the big screen, sometimes oneself, in a universe whose singular geography the camera aims to decipher, reconstruct its lines of force, and reveal the relationships that are formed between individuals and the collective character that encompasses them. Whether they are working on the scale of history, an institution or a family, these filmmakers of reality capture a sensitive tectonic structure made up of repression, oppositions, forgetfulness and negociations. What methods are they forging to stage the dialectic that links an individual trajectory and its inscription in a collective framework?
