The limitation of using a single frame as the rhythmic element of the film. The journey of a shape in a geometric landscape. Telling another story using material found, the account of a rather chaotic journey. Fragments of beginnings, collages of frames, films found, all of which is put on a 35mm film. The images echo the crackling of magnetic tapes. The images of a tank are shot to a strange rhythm, generated by a repetitive hammering sound. Weaves of a fragmented narrative of a collective history. Music and images mixed together in a dance which links the sky to the earth and the earth to the sky. The overlapping of images, found and stuck, link us to a still vibrant history.

Michel Henritzi plays with the energy of broken music from the 45 rpm "Brave Men Run (In My Family)" with a radical technique which intensifies the sound explosions and coordinates and accelerates the collision of the images drawn of the film. I used a scan to work on these images, filtering them in black and white, increasing the contrast and mixing them with my other reels made during my American travels. I was looking for construction lines revealing the chaotic rhythms of my visual experiences to assemble with that of this super8 of a Sonic Youth performance, it is a hymn to chaos but also to a rediscovered freedom. – Raphaël Maze

Trajectories and signals, visual and sound trip.

When what is below and what is above must meet. Just before the flood.

Between Detroit and Clermont-Ferrand. M-City film crossing the line, Michelin city to motor city and back. Sounds and signs of the time. Music by Speet Silex.

Strange figures are sketched by the flow of music, unveiling a passage to a mental place, a memory of places surfacing from the turbulence of a waking dream.

3’44’’ Cameraless film, 16 mm. Marker, Stencil, Scratch.

The movie title comes from a note found in a book; i find myself following tracks in New York.

Caught within the flux and rhythm, walkers become shadows; waking-up, diving into the electric night, sleeping. Superpositions, frames running wild. (no) more possible distances in this course, megalopolis. Raphaël Maze / Annabelle Playe / Gregory Robin
