Yves-Marie Mahé

From 1988 to 1994, near Père Lachaise cemetery on the eastern side of Paris, the Etablissements phonographiques de l’Est (Eastern Phonographic Venue), aka EPE, was a multidisciplinary venue hosting the crême de la crême of the international experimental, radical, industrial, noise, avant-punk scene. A record shop during the day, an underground venue at night hosting in its basement gigs, performances, screenings of video art and experimental cinema, readings, bondage workshops, fanzine exhibitions. At the junction of late 80’s and early 90’s, EPE saw the end of industrial music and the birth of the still highly influential avant-punk scene.

Founded in the second half of the 1990s, the experimental film association L'Etna witnessed the transition from film to digital cinema. Its premises, located in the heart of Paris, were unable to withstand gentrification.

Experimental and anarchist young generation before May of 68'.

After turning off the TV, a man finds out that he is sharing the apartment with someone else. The latter is unhappy that the television is turned off. Two new characters appear in the room to decide between them and it's a mess...

On Sunday October 16, 2011, between going to vote or making this film, I did not hesitate.

Following the release of Bérurier Noir's album "Concerto pour détraqués" on the Bondage label in 1985, the French punk scene began to organize itself and attract media attention. Following Bondage's example, François Hadji Lazaro founded the Boucherie Production label. The departure of bands to major companies, Bérurier Noir's lawsuit against its label Bondage, and above all the breakup of the band marked the end of an era.

Your fly is open.

Music avant-garde seen by french traditional cinema.

Forms are born and die.

The alarm rings. It’s time. What time ? Time to fuck! And if the woman is emacipating herself by sleeping with another woman it’s the moment for the husband to discover them together. From here the film is metric, which is to say that all the shots are constituted from 9 images or their multiples. The film is named ‘Hybrid’ because different shots from different films tell the same story, that of the man who fucks the woman who fucks the man. All in all of the man who fucks the man.

Portrait of pioneering LGBT filmmaker Lionel Soukaz, who passed away in February 2025. His work lies at the crossroads of several film traditions that rarely intersect: experimental, activist, pornographic, and diary film. Based on both public and private interviews with Lionel Soukaz.

After the juvenile fashion of "Air Guitar" (mimicking the gesture of a guitarist without having the instrument in hand), here comes "Air pool fuck". A man and a woman make love here... each in his own pool.

Jeune Cinéma is a footage film documentary about the famous yet forgotten Hyères Film Festival which took place from 1965 to 1983. It was at that time the most important in France just after the glamorous Cannes Film Festival and a friendly place to discover young directors such as Gilles Garrel, Akerman, Helma Sanders, Schroeter or Carax before they became a legend for the art-house film amateurs. Hyères was a vivid space for passionate debates, incredible polemics and above all surprising encounters. In a word, it was THE place to be for all the cinephiles. If it suddenly disappeared in 1983, it is not only because of internal and political conflicts but also for an unfair competition with Cannes. The « Perspectives » section at Cannes, widely inspired by Hyères, was attracting those same young talents discovered there. My personal history as a filmmaker is deeply tied to the “Collectif Jeune Cinéma”, which was in charge of the “Cinéma Différent” section.

With this title, Philippe Clair summed up what a maze is: "Where did you enter? We didn't see you go out".

Amort is a 35mm trailer of an action film, spoiled by bleach and by digital process.

Expeditious.

Arsehole voters.

What should we do with the former Nazis? Shoot them without further trial, hang them after trial, lock them up for life, release them after remission, and wait for them to return home before finally setting them on fire? And how should we behave with the new Nazis? Let them parade in the name of freedom of expression, counter-demonstrate, or openly mock them?

Two opportunists empty the fridge. What is socially designated as obscene (pornography, for example) turns out to be a decoy; the real obscenity is elsewhere and much more worrying than a few exhibited sexes and concerns rather the forms of sexual normalization.

An abrasive abstract film accompanied by a scratching drone.

Human nature is such that parents love their children more than the other way around. This film explains why.

The guitar as virile attribute. Grab my neck and hold on tight.

Variations around a photograph of Charlélie Couture and her musicians. Ruth's music that accompanies the film has nothing to do with it except that it is French and from the same period. It serves to underline the fact that the starting material is a fixed image which by the magic of cinema comes to life. If I dared, I will evoke Marguerite Duras through a quote from Laure Adler "This novel, these photos can be read like a photo novel".

Get up from your chair so that we can see your ass.

Truth doesn't wear panties.

Holiday film where the camera has directly influenced the people filmed and has prompted a series of nude scenes.

Tribute to Anicée Alvina.

Gonna rob the imagebank.

Erotica short film.

Collage from 35 mm trailers.

Basil and his gang have profited well. They deserve a good spanking.

1 weak nazi + 1 sturdy non-nazi = 0 nazi.

If you think you have seen everything then you are even blinder than I believed.
