How to film a word? How to hear a photograph? How to tell a lifetime of love in just 26 words? In searching out the sense of beauty, the border between the real world and that of reverie, fascinated by the dreamlike universe of the French photographer Guillaume Poussou -and who knows- maybe also by the photographer himself, Anahit Simonian takes up her camera for the very first time and begins to dance with her eyes closed. So is born “L'Abcdaire de l'amoureuse d'un photographe”, her first film.

Good Valley Stories

MovieDocumentary

In a peripheral neighbourhood, where the rural and urban worlds meet, the houses of the first migrants who arrived after the post-war period coexist with the new blocks of the dormitory city, where the latest wave of migration is concentrated. This humble corner is now an authentic global village. Good Valley Stories is a sum of constructs, of social, generational and identity, urban and ecological conflicts, but it is also a calm and humanistic look at today’s world.

A film made of objects, faces and texts; of lost cats, of found pictures, cut-outs, recreations; a poetic subversion in diary form, one that breaks the calendar into a novel, driving relentlessly as a journey to the end of the world.

Martel en tête

The action takes place in Cantal in the 1950s. Le Bricou, an aging cowherd, lost two animals while summering on the Limon plateau. A banal, almost insignificant event and yet it is enough to hammer him into his head. His life is turned upside down. And if others laughed at him, and if he was no longer good for anything, and if his wife cheated on him, maybe he even got scabies...
