Als werkelijkheidszin bestaat moet mogelijkheidszin ook bestaan
1995
Movie
‘If a sense of reality exists, a sense of possibility must also exist’ is an adaptation of the theatrical play ‘The Enthusiasts’ by Robert Musil. Franciska Lambrechts has managed to turn this ‘unstageable’ piece into an intriguing film by radicalizing Musil’s work. In close consultation with the actors (from theatre companies including tg. Stan and Dito’Dito), she reduced the text to its core: the quest of a small group of people for truth and reality at a time when major ideologies fail. It has become a refined film with strictly framed black-and-white images and passionate acting.

Movie
"Le champ des visions" a documentary that addresses the relationship between man and animal-insect through stories, legends, memories, intimate sensations... I spent 4 years questioning the relationship between insect man. I filmed hundreds of hours of images, read captions, listened to stories, revisited my memories and my feelings to finally make a film: "Le champ des visions". This film is an invitation to share my encounter with beauty, strangeness, difference. Reporting on my personal quest is a tribute to gay knowledge. But it is also a manifesto for the freedom to slow down, to rediscover the child in us, its curiosity, its wonder. Let's cross the limits imposed by our senses, our habits, our prejudices to invigorate our sometimes sclerotic approach to the world...
