Film Curator at the American Center in Paris and founder of Scratch Projection and Light Cone (Europe’s most active distributor of alternative film), Yann Beauvais visits the Cinematheque with a program of films including: Vivian Ostrovsky’s Uta Makura (Pillow Poems) , on travelling to Japan; Beauvais’ New York Long Distance on the distance between memory and the image of this memory; Jean Michel Bouhours’ Vagues à Collioures which rhythmically breaks a dive into the sea; Miles McKane’s Atomic Frog, a virtual encounter of grain and animal motion; Christian Lebrat’s Trama, a play with patterns of light and color; and Maurice LeMaitre’s Un Navet, a questioning of found footage manipulation within a Dadaist tradition.
