Homage to cinema and its spectators.

Directed by Johanna Vaude.

A chronicle of the fantasies and dream of women in avant-garde contemporary cinema. The faces and bodies of new women haunt the paths and alleyways of avant-garde cinema.

Lights, speeds, forms, colors, energies, atoms… Hypnotic is a graphic trip into party and created like a psychic dance.

Directed by Johanna Vaude.

This film has been shot one image after another, based on already existing images, paintings, photos : Vésale’s “the écorchés”, drawings by Agipa de Nettesheim and Leonardo da Vinci, photos by Muybridge, Marey, Londe, architectural plans… These still images are knocked together to give the movement, rhythm and echo necessary to refer to these times where Man has tried to find through research, science, philosophy and art the concept and sentiment of Totality. The editing image by image allows us to explain the connections that link each image, their contents and their symbols. Like a synthesis, through the prism of Totality, the film shows all these questions and researches about Man and his world.

Night wandering in a labyrinthine city. Layout of roads, avenues, deserted streets, hostile architectures where the homeless, shadows of flesh and blood, lost in the power of the city, silently die. The film carries us away in the madness race of the city, at night, submerged by the insomniac, alienating waves of the media, through which the human voice tries, like a distant echo, an obstinate wake up call.
