Terre d'ombre

Filmmaker and teacher, Stéphane Marti has been researching experimental cinema as an art form liberated of aesthetic codes and the economics of big budget cinema. His work is primarily focused on the themes of the sacred and the human body. An avid supporter of the Super-8 format, he has been fighting for its merits as a tool. He has used this format film after film and has been sharing his experiences with new filmmakers during his workshops at the Sorbonne’s College of the Arts (Paris I).

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

Discovery of the body in the state of matter which moves and takes shape. Two bodies thus evolve by confronting their own anatomical space. Their communication is based only on their bodily knowledge and meaning, thus ignoring the objectivity of the outside world. Reality being represented by the discovery of the different elements of matter. (CJC).
