Through the metaphor of the American freeway and the use of found footage, we sense how mobility and freedom of movement are kept in check by a booming incarceration business.

Shot at Euro-Disneyland just after it opened in 1993, FAERIE-MONITION became an essay on the nature of this "cultural Chernobyl." With a dense soundtrack and evocative optically-printed imagery, this film creates an atmosphere without needing explicit explanations or voice-over.

Blue Is Beautiful poster

Made with Washington DC's notorious gospel-punk outfit The Make-Up. The musicians seek "creative asylum" in a subcultural womb. This road movie is, in the words of a Parisian critic, "comme si Foucault roulait avec les situationistes dans le Scooby-Doo Van". It is both a lyrical document of a time and space(s) which no longer exist as well as a record of one of the most kick-ass bands on earth.
