Un souvenir d’archives

Christophe Bisson

Archivist and researcher Isabelle Ullern investigates the official archives of philosopher Sarah Kofman. “I become her ventriloquist”, she says. Digging into the archives, she brings back the memories of Sarah, who committed suicide in October 1994 — her works as a philosopher and her past as a hidden child of the Holocaust… For the duration of the film, Isabelle embodies Sarah.

Château Intérieur

Christophe Bisson

At the Rayon Vert Hotel in Cerbère. From one room to another, from inside to outside, from the outside light to the darkness of the cinema, the filmmaker, echoing Jean-Claude Rousseau, presents an “attempted silent self-portrait”. The windows open half way and close, shadows are cast and fade away. Between appearances and emptiness.

Noli me tangere

Into The World (Au Monde)

Christophe Bisson

Total laryngectomy, a mutilation that affects the face and the voice, can be lived as a profound metamorphosis. Joël Perrotte undertook that surgery in 2007. After becoming mute, his first reaction was to retreat from the outside world, in the basement of his home. Thanks to his wife's support, he surfaced back, and found the strength to learn a new voice and become part of the society. The film tells the story of this extraordinary metamorphosis.
