Ange Leccia

Around three boys accomplices to playful and shy grace, Stéphane Marti inaugurates his cinematographic writing.

A young woman, Antonia, returns to her island of birth, Corsica, after one of her relatives has disappeared at sea. She is torn back and forth between her old love Ettore and the dumb Alexander. The quest for Antonia's place in the masculine environment of armed nationalism is an excuse for all kinds of peregrinations in the spectacular landscape of Cap Corse - a landscape that itself becomes a leading character.

This intimate and musical documentary about the French megastar Christophe will have you screaming like a fan, as it tells the story of the unforgettable and nocturnal musician, author of the legendary song Aline (most recently featured in Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch).

Gold is a project of psycho-geographical investigations. Beautifully shot on location in desert regions throughout the southwest, Gold alludes to the seductive lure of the American west and its history of speculation and spectacle.

At nightfall, a young woman, nymph or mermaid, moves quietly through an aquatic environment. The creature appears trapped in the tunnel, her body seemingly extending into the inhospitable passageway. The light from the projection plays on the moving surface of the water, a clear homage by Ange Leccia to Claude Monet's pictorial research. This water nymph is embodied by Laetitia Casta, a beloved icon of our society, who here becomes a contemporary mythical nymph.

A recollection of almost 40 years of career. A giant image-jukebox, from early 70s autoportrait to films for Alain Bashung / Elli Medeiros, private karaokes to “video sculptures” applied to John Travolta or Maria Callas, and much much more…

A wandering poetic journey through maritime landscapes, a dreamlike stroll among the architecture and works of art that populate the landscapes of the Naoshima archipelago in Japan.

The passing time is displayed as a series of still frames, or a rapid sequence of moments, ever flowing like the waves that break on the shore, like a repeated chant with no beginning, middle or end.

Depicts several journeys between Marseille and elsewhere-in-the-Mediterranean which spiral up and out. These trips close in on themselves forming a continuous loop where the tale gets lost in the eternal recurrence. Traversée is above all a moveable scene, an in-between, a poetic metaphor for the political situation between France and North Africa. A space for contemplation and tension, an endless journey, an invitation.

Short film about young people walking.

Here, as often in Ange Leccia's shorts, pop music with universal overtones enhances the fascinating immateriality of the images while the 1969 song "Space Oddity" by the late musician David Bowie plays in the background.
