Untitled, portraits d'artistes en clair-obscur
Synopsis
It was five years ago. I went to Beaubourg for an exhibition Africa Remix, impatient and curious at the idea of what I was going to discover. In the paths of the exhibition, as I anticipated it, confusedly, something happened that today still I would not completely know how to define. I found myself in front of a multitudes of works which, in their way, all spoke to me a little about myself: of the times which I spent in Douala in the eighties, of Paris where I live, questions that I asked myself on the way all this influenced my sight. I wanted to understand why. It is with contemporary artists whose personal history, bound closely or by far to Africa, made echo towards mine, that I chose to speak about it. This movie is an extract of our conversations.

Butterfly, by Florence Miailhe
A man swims in the sea. This brings back memories. They are all connected to water, from his early childhood to his adult life. This will be the story of his last swim.
🦋 'Butterfly' won the Crystal Bear Young People's Jury at the Berlinale and was selected for the Official Competition at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, where it received the André Martin Prize.
