Elliott Erwitt, Silence Sounds Good d’Adriana Lopez Sanfeliu
Adriana Lopez Sanfeliu’s documentary is a subtle exploration of a key figure in photography, Elliott Erwitt. The filmmaker, who is also Erwitt’s assistant, builds an affectionate and candid portrait of the photographer: a man overflowing with humility, warmth and humour. Erwitt, known for his iconic shots and spirit of gentle self-derision, has made a profound impact on the photography world.
NEW COLLECTION
ORIGIN STORY
Before Marilyn Monroe, there was Norma Jeane Baker: it was under this name that one of the greatest icons of the 20th century was born. In this collection, we focus on the pre-fame years, tracing one’s origins and going back to their roots. In the biopic Sleeping With a Tiger, Anja Salomonowitz adapts Maria Lassnig’s obstacle-strewn journey; in the eponymous film Orlando, Joachim Thome retraces the life, work, and rise to fame of this Renaissance composer; in Banksy Most Wanted by Seamus Haley and Aurélia Rouvier, we go back in time and investigate to understand who is behind the artist who maintains anonymity…
NEW COLLECTION
FRANCOPHONIE EN FÊTE !
Rediscover, through this program, some of the voices that have animated the French language from yesterday to today.
Through the force of their words and the singularity of their vision, these Francophone artists infuse French with a poetic, sensitive, and socially engaged resonance. From the incisive prose of Marguerite Yourcenar to the unsettling world of Gaétan Soucy; from the cinematic sensibility of Jennifer Alleyn to the creative vitality of Raôul Duguay and Anne-Marie Tougas, each gives new life and brilliance to the language. This program is an invitation to immerse yourself in their works and to celebrate French as a living space of creation.
