West Point poster

West Point is a 'film noir', a story of family and emigration. It's La Cabo da Rocha, Portugal, the western-most point of the European continent. Opposite the USA, it's a metaphor of Ellis Island. It's the street dances and it's the part of what has been forgotten that Alexander and his sister Jeanne must accept in order to break free from the original crime, the feeling of abandonment and the color of wheat.

Jeanne never looks at the landscape, she feels its change from hour to hour since she was a child. Since she was a little girl, Jeanne prefers girls. Today she is in love with Alice who wants a child. From Marseille to Paris, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Jeanne tells the story of the color of wheat, of women who give themselves and of what is possible at a given moment. A random fiction, the film resonates with slow love, fraternal friendships and painful filiations.

Ciao Bella Ciao poster
10.0

"Ciao Bella Ciao" was produced in reaction to the score of the Front National in the first round of the French presidential elections in 2002. The montage is structured from shots of Marseille and its surroundings, where Laurence Rebouillon grew up. Ciao Bella Ciao was shot in Super 8 and kinescoped in 35mm, using tests of Super 8 negative film and rushes from her previous Super 8 films. This film evokes memories of a homosexual love breakup and draws up an observation of the recurring racism of the petty bourgeoisie of Marseille. The text scrolls in a voice-over, to an aria from the Marriage of Figaro played on the piano ...
