54th OBERHAUSEN KURZFILMTAGE
CJC screening
Monday 5th May, 8 p.m.

The Collectif Jeune Cinema presents a panaroma of new acquisitions, recent works by contemporary French filmmakers. Each uses a singular approach to film or video material, conscious of their poetic, and narrative possibilities. At the margins of traditional categories, these films show us new ways of representing reality (Walk [Saloum], From the Clouds to the Cracks of the Earth), of sketching a story or the passage of time (Breathless, To a Passerby, Stay Here!), or of reinventing light and color (The Sparkling Stream, Uishet). Often written, filmed, developed and edited solely by the author, the rich, sensorial, and radical experiences these works offer place them at the heart of creative filmmaking and among the most sensitive and demanding of our day.

Isabelle Blanche has been making films in Super 8mm since 1997. Her attachment to these little reels and their 3'35" running time marks each of her films, triggering her spontaneity and ability to capture the intensity of the  moment.

BALLADE (SALOUM) / WALK (SALOUM)

A small boat moves with the current over a long section of water, sometimes approaching the shore. A situation, a camera, and the profound gaze of the filmmaker. Nothing is needed beyond placing a camera between the filmmaker and what she is in the process of living. The propensity of her generosity makes the act of watching an experience of life that is as soothing as it is revitalizing. The filmmaker puts life before all, confident in her emotions and montage involving the development of a sequence surrounding the omnipresence of nature.(C.L)

Rodolphe Olcèse was born in 1974 in France. After studies in philosophy, he began to make short films, at the boundary between experimental and documentary. Rodolphe Olcèse also writes poetry and articles about cinema, collaborating with several revues.

Frédéric Tachou directs fiction and experimental films. His journey in experimental creations began with the film "Totem" (1998), which was followed by "I love War"(2000), and "I did a nice travel, I am going to tell you about it" (2002-2004). He manages all the phases of film creation (lighting and shooting, handcrafted development in the laboratory, editing, transfer) and notably creating soundtrack, always of great importance in his films. Parallel to his practices as a filmmaker, he gives courses analyzing film at the University of Bordeaux and is preparing a thesis on primitive pornographic cinema.

RESTE LA ! (STAY THERE !)
2006  France  35mm > Beta sp  b&w  sound  11’
One night, I had a dream about my father. I saw a familiar house. The unity of the architecture of the home had come apart, creating an unusual comglomeration of rooms, windows, and spaces. The film shows these « spaces inside me », haunted by the presence of the person who had just died.

Dominik Lange was born in 1972 and has been living and working in Paris since 1997. He made most of his works (about 50 films) between 1999 and 2005. He's also a photographer and sculptor. He works specially on artisanal editing, in the independent laboratory, L'Abominable, just outside Paris. He also creates the music of some of his films, mostly electro-acoustique music. He's particularly moved by nature and landscape, and this theme is often present in his works.



LE RUISSEAU CHATOYANT (THE SPARKLING STREAM)
2001-2008 France  S8 mm> mini DV  color  sound (music by Fabrice Eglin and Benjamin Renard)  10’
The filmmaker's eye wanders along a glimmering brook: a fascination with nature, a melancholy introspection.

Raphaël Sevet was born in 1979. He graduated from the Art School of Nantes. A member of « le collectif des 7 » (2000-2003), a collective gathering plastic artists, he made his first films in the Mire film laboratory in Nantes, and later in L’Abominable, a film laboratory for artists.
From 2003 to 2006, he coordinated the distribution and programming activities of the Collectif Jeune Cinéma (CJC), a cooperative dedicated to experimental films.
While attending to the production and the making of his own short films, he works on the production and the broadcasting of various projects, in the alternative field as well as in the traditional distribution channels.
His work is a research on the phenomena induced by projections – physical projections, through visual devices, as well as mental ones, through narratives.

Jean-Paul Nogues was born in Marseille, France in 1967. He is the curator for the short film Festival Tous Courts d'Aix-en-Provence since 1993 and festival director since 2001. He has made a dozen films that have been shown in numerous festivals in France and abroad.

ROSEE NOCTURNE (NIGHT DEW)

On a scorching summer night, a quiet female sleep enchanted by the earth  and flesh matrix fluids.

Fabrice Lauterjung was born in 1978 in Lyon, France, F.L studied at the Lyon National School of Fine Art and has directed a number of videographic films since 2001, along with personal and collective exhibitions.
« The wild whirling of moving images of the world is overlaid with and supplanted by that cruel deceleration of the cinema machine in which seeing and hearing are broken down, undone – deposed. It is here that the happy debt to Jean Eustache is most manifest. To have his dumbfoundedness at he spectacle of Sale histoire (A Dirty Story, 1977) should have served as a warning – and one that remains intact to a rare degree in F.L.’s work. And this means going counter to synthesis, working on a dynamic of the oximoron. » (Cinema fixings, by Jean-Pierre Rehm in Fabrice Lauterjung ed.ADERA 2008).

A UNE PASSANTE (TO A PASSER BY)
2005 France  S8mm > DV  color sound  10’
A film-still is exposed to the gaze of a young woman, she knows nothing about the film's origin or history, she simply comments on this singular, frozen-frame. Progressively her speech escapes her, taking on a new direction. This is an 'out-of-frame' story, a meander within an image and then into a film, a nomadic stroll through the city. The film was inspired by the TAT (Thematic Apperception Test), a projective psychoanalysis test, in which patients are confronted by a series of images and from which they are asked to imagine a story. F.L. Traduction Paul Berry.

Born in 1974 in Grenoble, Jacques Perconte lives and works in Paris after having spent many years in south-west France.
Jacques Perconte explores the body, landscape and color through digital techniques. Every work naturally finds its expression in an adequate medium: video, photography, interactive creation, writing or music, installations... After a very traditional introduction (drawing and painting), Internet and video were the great starting point (95-96). The site technart.net is the main (messy) interface. His work navigates between writing a fiction on various media and a formal research which exposes the image of the body and its exhibition on a physical support. The relation between the content and the form is never kept in the background even if his work today is much less theoretical than it was. The different works created, whatever the medium always show much originality as well by their aesthetic qualities as by engagement in their execution. He frequently collaborates with other artists, among them Michel Herreria (painter), Didier Arnaudet (poet), Marc EM (musician), Hugo Verlinde (film maker)...

Natural reserve of the current of Huchet.
May 2005, one morning, on the river of Huchet between the mouth and the island of "pas de loup" I made a film with the idea of a naturalist trip towards abstraction...
Along the river, the boatman leads us under the trees to the center of the nature reserve, the sun plates? the shades of the flora on water. As one approaches the banks, the elements of the flora are agitated by small keys?. Nature and the image pulsate in tall grasses and trees. Color starts to appear. And then quickly the whole landscape changes pixel by pixel at the rate of the spasms of compression, colors change, everything becomes more and more complex, the trees, the leaves, the branches, everything mixes and starts to abound. We arrive at the current, where there are the first shelves?, we drop the oars and... black.
We are at the meeting of what has just appeared, the black tears? block by block of red, pinks, crimsons, purple, yellow and green the current is found, if? calms and so peaceful. Rocked by the forest and its songs, on quiverings of the water which runs and takes us along gently, it is the image which enchants us, it penetrates the decoration, as if one could see the magic which composes the forms. Still more long-lived and answering another logic, the colors work and expose green towards pink. The sky changes, the image is painted. And gradually all the tones turn to yellow.
"One would have said it was like animated Monet paintings."
This film is a result of a history. There are several radically different versions of this landscape. They all are named "uishet". This is the "sans titre n°5". I shot the landscape in 2005. I showed many times the work in progress. The 5fth film was started on December 2006 and ended on February 2007.

Philippe Cote has made more than a dozen films since 1998 which have been screened at numerous festivals and venues around the world including the Centre georges Pompidou, VideoEx (Zurch), Image Forum (Tokyo) and Media City (Canada). He is a founding member of the film cooperative L’Etna, an artisanal lab formed in 1997 in Paris, where he lives.
P.C. has woven together the theme of body in film, while studying the qualities of film material, light and color, through techniques like cameraless filmmaking, homemade printing and painting on film.His latest works are progressing towards a poetical approach of documentary film, exploring some of the traditions of primitive cinema.
