Aldo Romano

A documentary on the late French jazz pianist.

JEMINA, THE MOUTAIN GIRL is playing with various elements : literary sterotypes of the F.Scott Fitzgerald novel, inflamed romantism of a Viennese waltz, idealized feminine beauty through lengthy shots, some white and some black, burst of color, intrusion of rose, and green. The film is mocking classic hollywood cinema and undertake the fundamental discontinuity of every film, of every filmic text. Pleasure of the text, pleasure of cinema.

Frank Cassenti, creator of Jazz à Porquerolles, passed away in December 2023. To pay tribute to him, the festival invites a top-flight line-up to the Var: With Naissam Jalal, Nguyên Lê, Marion Rampal and more.
