Ange Leccia

Around three boys accomplices to playful and shy grace, Stéphane Marti inaugurates his cinematographic writing.

A young woman, Antonia, returns to her island of birth, Corsica, after one of her relatives has disappeared at sea. She is torn back and forth between her old love Ettore and the dumb Alexander. The quest for Antonia's place in the masculine environment of armed nationalism is an excuse for all kinds of peregrinations in the spectacular landscape of Cap Corse - a landscape that itself becomes a leading character.

"La Déraison du Louvre," is a strange short movie in which a young woman tours the titular gallery late at night, and takes in a variety of their exhibits (including the Mona Lisa) and the paintings and statues do have an effect on the young woman...

As he is fleeing the Western world, a terrorist discovers Eastern civilization. His subjective journey is a means to create a fiction halfway between adventure and romance. The narrative is guided by sensation and gives birth to a series of visual and sound feelings bearing witness to the encounter between cultures. - MUBI

The passing time is displayed as a series of still frames, or a rapid sequence of moments, ever flowing like the waves that break on the shore, like a repeated chant with no beginning, middle or end.

In a desolated world, a martyr is steered by a man giving orders from a control room. His henchmen torture the resistance fighter.

Gold is a project of psycho-geographical investigations. Beautifully shot on location in desert regions throughout the southwest, Gold alludes to the seductive lure of the American west and its history of speculation and spectacle.

At nightfall, a young woman, nymph or mermaid, moves quietly through an aquatic environment. The creature appears trapped in the tunnel, her body seemingly extending into the inhospitable passageway. The light from the projection plays on the moving surface of the water, a clear homage by Ange Leccia to Claude Monet's pictorial research. This water nymph is embodied by Laetitia Casta, a beloved icon of our society, who here becomes a contemporary mythical nymph.

Depicts several journeys between Marseille and elsewhere-in-the-Mediterranean which spiral up and out. These trips close in on themselves forming a continuous loop where the tale gets lost in the eternal recurrence. Traversée is above all a moveable scene, an in-between, a poetic metaphor for the political situation between France and North Africa. A space for contemplation and tension, an endless journey, an invitation.

Subjective observations of Corsica and Japan, accompanied by an eclectic soundtrack.

A recollection of almost 40 years of career. A giant image-jukebox, from early 70s autoportrait to films for Alain Bashung / Elli Medeiros, private karaokes to “video sculptures” applied to John Travolta or Maria Callas, and much much more…

Here, as often in Ange Leccia's shorts, pop music with universal overtones enhances the fascinating immateriality of the images while the 1969 song "Space Oddity" by the late musician David Bowie plays in the background.

Leccia shot multiple versions of 1991's La Mer over the period of nearly 40 years. All are presented here.

Scenes of everyday life, episodes shot during journeys abroad: from New York (1986) to Asia through the Middle East (Egypt, Damascus and Palmyra in Syria, in the 1990's and 2000's). Added to these fragments of personal film, pictures taken from digital traffic: wars in the Middle East, the Arab Spring or Japanese pop icon, model, actor and singer Rie Miyazawa. The moving portraits of young women filmed by Ange Leccia haunt his films that are saturated with images of the violence of the world. A double focal point, sentimental and objective, a double urgency of desire and horror. Girls, Ghosts and War plays on two scenes, two planes: the young women in the background are blurred by the double exposure of the pictures of conflict. Pictorial conflicts, here and there mixed up in this ghostly maelstrom. As if the affective memory was constantly engulfed by the commotion of history.
