Les mille et un soleils de Pigalle

Marcel Mazé

Two young North Africans talk about their daily life in Parisian sex shops where they work as gigolos.

Le veau d'or

Stéphane Marti

Baptiste Lamy, Patrice Losio

Between music and silence, a pale boy handsome as a statue by Canova and a flamboyant black boy in a ritual photographed by Marcel Mazé. With the presence of a Michel Journiac's self-portrait sculpture, votive offerings of sacred skulls and crucifixes, dried flowers, Monique Delvincourt fragmented mirrors, Louboutin heels, images of the assoluta Diva and a sound re-articulation of Gounod's Faust by Berndt Deprez.

Les métaphores d'Alex

Stéphane Marti

Alexandre Cissokho, Marcel Mazé

With an editing engraved as a jewel, this movie is a real neo-baroque manifest. On the one hand, the Seine's sparkling, the Alexandre III bridge's sculptures and the majestic stairs descents of a mysterious personage ; on the other hand, the brilliance of a mirror reveals a lascivious inner space, invaded by art works, strange objects, tropical plants, heavy clothes, in the middle of which sit enthroned the Aesthete contemplating male nudes photos. The crystalline voice of a counter-tenor celebrating Bach perfects the voluptuous feeling emerging from this movie.

Mira corpora

Stéphane Marti

Marcel Mazé, Anders Ulrich

The film appears like a ritual with splendids and crypteds psalms. The Great Master of Order (Marcel Mazé, new fetish actor after Aloual) seduces the young male prey with a running cinema projector which carves Murnau's Nosferatu extracts on their bodies. Metamorphosis, rituals passages, Eros and Thanotos, illusion and reality, film into the film are the themes and images in perpetual osmosis in this Stéphane Marti's opus.

Zanzibar à Saint-Sulpice

Gérard Courant

Jacques Baratier, Catherine Baratier

30 years after their artistic revolution, members of the Zanzibar group meet in 1999 in Saint-Sulpice Square in Paris (France) in front of Gérard Courant's camera.

Lucy en Miroir

Raphaël Bassan

Anne-Sophie Brabant, Élodie Imbeau

The fortuitous meeting of two women to the identical first name, Lucy, who formerly loved the same man, Jonathan, induced, in this film, of the polysemous variations on the memory, art, and the difficult relationship between creation and emotional life. Dehumanized by an exclusive artistic practice, the man lost his reference marks little by little. "Lucy en miroir" wants to be, also, a shifted and transverse second reading of "The Contempt" ("Le Mépris") of Godard, by a step more plastic than analytical or conclusive.

Focalises

Marcel Mazé

Catherine Luthaud, Anne Luthaud

The film has been imagined in 1976 and realised in 1980. The idea was highlighting the depth of field throught the cinematic focus. The idea was also that in commercial movies the middle-distances are always blurred, sacrified, not seen, for the advantage of the focused foreground, tool of the narration.

Marcel Mazé, les forces de l’ombre et de la lumière

Stéphane Marti

Marcel Mazé

It is a fragmented portrait where Marcel embodies different characters, a mischievous dandy immersed in a profusion of shimmers and erotic pictures, a bewitching photographer featuring nonchalant beauties like Sicilian shepherds or a black angel, romantic walker Nosferant performing cyclical rituals that celebrate Eros and Thanatos. Dark or bright masks of his desires echoing. Lyrical images, film editions as secular and sacred celebrations where, in the often frenzied allegories which unveil a bewitching Marcel, entangled beautiful and young shooting stars such as Sarah, Orlan, Baptiste, Patrice, Samuel, Roman, Thomas, Anders, Alex, Christian, Yohan or Elie.
