The Experimental Rock of Instants Chavirés (Or How to Put an End to Jazz)

Sexual music like french towns.

Truth doesn't wear panties.

After turning off the TV, a man finds out that he is sharing the apartment with someone else. The latter is unhappy that the television is turned off. Two new characters appear in the room to decide between them and it's a mess...

Founded in the second half of the 1990s, the experimental film association L'Etna witnessed the transition from film to digital cinema. Its premises, located in the heart of Paris, were unable to withstand gentrification.

From 1988 to 1994, near Père Lachaise cemetery on the eastern side of Paris, the Etablissements phonographiques de l’Est (Eastern Phonographic Venue), aka EPE, was a multidisciplinary venue hosting the crême de la crême of the international experimental, radical, industrial, noise, avant-punk scene. A record shop during the day, an underground venue at night hosting in its basement gigs, performances, screenings of video art and experimental cinema, readings, bondage workshops, fanzine exhibitions. At the junction of late 80’s and early 90’s, EPE saw the end of industrial music and the birth of the still highly influential avant-punk scene.

On Sunday October 16, 2011, between going to vote or making this film, I did not hesitate.

Your fly is open.

Railroad variations around sequences extract from a movie by Carlos Saura.

An abrasive abstract film accompanied by a scratching drone.

Forms are born and die.

With this title, Philippe Clair summed up what a maze is: "Where did you enter? We didn't see you go out".

Following the release of Bérurier Noir's album "Concerto pour détraqués" on the Bondage label in 1985, the French punk scene began to organize itself and attract media attention. Following Bondage's example, François Hadji Lazaro founded the Boucherie Production label. The departure of bands to major companies, Bérurier Noir's lawsuit against its label Bondage, and above all the breakup of the band marked the end of an era.

After the juvenile fashion of "Air Guitar" (mimicking the gesture of a guitarist without having the instrument in hand), here comes "Air pool fuck". A man and a woman make love here... each in his own pool.

Work is the best police (Nietzsche).

Variations around a photograph of Charlélie Couture and her musicians. Ruth's music that accompanies the film has nothing to do with it except that it is French and from the same period. It serves to underline the fact that the starting material is a fixed image which by the magic of cinema comes to life. If I dared, I will evoke Marguerite Duras through a quote from Laure Adler "This novel, these photos can be read like a photo novel".

Police everywhere, finesse nowhere!
