Au lieu

The documentary tells two very different human fates in the 1920s Soviet Union. Nikolai Vavilov was a botanical genius, Trofim Lyssenko was an agronomist who made great promises and fake inventions. Each of them tried to solve the country's nutritional problem, but only one succeeded.

The young man fell from the sky. Communication relay burns. Flee from the city and its commotion, return to nature. Become part of another story. That of the legend of the prince. In the hope of a love, hiding behind the hollow in a tree. Nothing magic is improbable. What happened yesterday, may happen again tomorrow.

With a super 8 camera from Paris to Berlin, from Amsterdam to Rio, from Jerusalem to New York shooting only at night. Hungarian crooners, Indian tribal chants, opera arias, and an occasional samba make up the sound track of this “hand-held” diary.

A humorous glimpse of what happens every morning on the wavy sidewalks of Copacabana Beach. Physical fitness, Brazilian style, with a dash of soccer and hints of Carmen Miranda.

A 15-year-old boy goes on a hiking trip with his estranged grandfather, and overcomes the grief of losing his parents on a mountain above the clouds.

A month in the country. In summer, a group of friends rent a house in southern France. People come and go, making their way through chickens, dogs and cats. Playful sounds and a wacky collage of music make up the soundtrack.

ROSA ROT gives two frameworks and two points of view: the abstract one, of a free inner thought as manifested by the visual immersion in a piece of landscape subject to constant change, striated by gales mingled with the incessant fall of thick snowflakes - and that, concrete, wider and distanced but in the same axis of this landscape crossed by the fixed frame of a window, which brings us back to a state of physical confinement while reading Rosa Luxemburg's letter from prison gives further evidence. As proof that no prison hinders freedom of thought.

Following the movie : "Au Lieu". A cinematic reading of the metaphor between the city of Rome and the unconscious, in which Freud introduces Civilization and Its Discontents. "A dream of a place, a stone and of présence. A photographic pilgrimage from the abandoned stairs of the vineyard of Guebwiller until Rome, Eternal City ..." A self-portrait by photographer Luc Meichler.

Snow is suspended. It becomes rare. The wonder is in peril. The extraordinary atmosphere which it induces and which suspends the stifled daily life, moves away from our impatience. Snow is a curtain behind which capitalist issues are going on, the consequences of which are universal and global. Nivose is an attempt to reverse the movement, to fix and revive by abstraction a climatic phenomenon so far condemned by mankind in a process that could be inescapable. Magic operates when the camera catches the flakes in the opposite direction.

Animated scouting whose primary goal is to reactivate the poetry of myths in urban areas.
