They evoke the figure of avant-garde composer Alvin Curran in his relationship to Rome, where he settled in the mid-1960s, and the music he created there, mainly within the famous Musica Elettronica Viva collective. But as the sub-title of the last of these films indicates “of about Alvin Curran”, the project is no less a portrait than a collaboration: Baudelaire’s collaboration with the composer, whom he never films in person, but whose thoughts and sounds he borrows; with his long-time editor, Claire Atherton; and with Maxime Guitton, a researcher involved in the project right from the start and who unearths priceless material. But Baudelaire also draws on Alvin Curran’s collaborations with his own companions, such as the underground filmmaker Annabella Miscuglio, of whom Baudelaire includes several films; with his city and his times, marked by the kidnapping of Aldo Moro and the revolutionary struggle. For it was in reaction to the discourses on the end of history and to the Years of Lead that Alvin Curran justified a musical art free from scored music and focussed on collaborative and performative processes. And to oppose political deadlocks and the death of cinema, Éric Baudelaire, in league with the oeuvre he documents, plays down the figure of the author and the pretension to an art as a single unit. Three times over the film ends and restarts, with the certainty that by replaying the end, everything can begin again • Antoine Thirion, Cinéma du Réel catalogue https://pouletmalassis.com/When-MEDIA Wed, 14 Dec 2022 07:50:02 +0000 Poulet-Malassis Films https://pouletmalassis.com/When-MEDIA <img width="2000" height="1500" width_o="2000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/877ccfea47ed2754584d5708323bfea53f1dcd7521e16b20b8e9237fbf5b70e2/When1.jpg" data-mid="161901585" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/877ccfea47ed2754584d5708323bfea53f1dcd7521e16b20b8e9237fbf5b70e2/When1.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1500" width_o="2000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/70fa86a585d424b5d0cf779f5d4504fecadb6050463f8ea550436c42571d7880/When2.jpg" data-mid="161901586" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/70fa86a585d424b5d0cf779f5d4504fecadb6050463f8ea550436c42571d7880/When2.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1500" width_o="2000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6aa1027b6936a3fe0527e4e6a16611d9f0cfad75084e992fb3a29234fc5038ba/When3.jpg" data-mid="161901587" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6aa1027b6936a3fe0527e4e6a16611d9f0cfad75084e992fb3a29234fc5038ba/When3.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1500" width_o="2000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7ca377d04c734b15ce916fa62e363fc0b990e452e2062591f11cc1ace37755f9/When4.jpg" data-mid="161901588" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7ca377d04c734b15ce916fa62e363fc0b990e452e2062591f11cc1ace37755f9/When4.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1500" width_o="2000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1397beeec8654e408bad96f4c5e0ac62419b3fee73de397817bfdc82a890f413/When5.jpg" data-mid="161901589" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1397beeec8654e408bad96f4c5e0ac62419b3fee73de397817bfdc82a890f413/When5.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1500" width_o="2000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/45a010f9a35185aaa79159563ea56234860e381345d79f76d240e247a3867923/When6.jpg" data-mid="161901590" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/45a010f9a35185aaa79159563ea56234860e381345d79f76d240e247a3867923/When6.jpg" /> <img width="1952" height="1464" width_o="1952" height_o="1464" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7c5fa7b8ae5a595d035df0cf94f8f33166fa78a336a7a1bd2fc25c1db6f1045c/When7.jpg" data-mid="161901591" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7c5fa7b8ae5a595d035df0cf94f8f33166fa78a336a7a1bd2fc25c1db6f1045c/When7.jpg" /> <img width="1952" height="1464" width_o="1952" height_o="1464" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1b0b15637bff66a2f19cb1c766d71e9ff31eca2015227af80915f50764ca73a8/When8.jpg" data-mid="161901592" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1b0b15637bff66a2f19cb1c766d71e9ff31eca2015227af80915f50764ca73a8/When8.jpg" /> <img width="1952" height="1464" width_o="1952" height_o="1464" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2f54a5ebb7a1be4cb000677cf8dd0369280919766a163102e0af1e9b6b037839/When9.jpg" data-mid="161901593" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2f54a5ebb7a1be4cb000677cf8dd0369280919766a163102e0af1e9b6b037839/When9.jpg" /> https://pouletmalassis.com/When-CREDIT Mon, 30 May 2022 15:11:22 +0000 Poulet-Malassis Films https://pouletmalassis.com/When-CREDIT A film by Éric Baudelaire Based on research by Maxime Guitton Music Alvin CurranMusica Elettronica VivaImage Éric Baudelaire and archives&nbsp;Editing Claire AthertonGraphic Design Pierre-François LetuéMix Éric Lesachet Production Poulet-Malassis Films・Éric Baudelaire With support from The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation La Fondation des ArtistesVilla MédicisCrac Occitanie Bergen KunsthallSpike Island DCP 4:3Super 8 and found footage Stereo soundItalian and English with English/Italian subtitles&nbsp; DISTRIBUTION LUX (UK) FESTIVALS Cinéma du Réel CPH:DOX Art of The Real・Lincoln Center Viennale DocumentaMadrid Curtas Vila do Conde DocLisboa Villa Medici Film Festival DMZ Docs DOK Leipzig Viennale Filmmaker Festival Milano REVIEWS On Screen, The Wire, June 2022 Conversation Pieces, Colin Perry, Art Monthly, May 2022 When There Is No More Music To Write, M.

The first act, filmed as an observational documentary in the world’s largest flower market, follows millions of bouquets transiting through a cavernous refrigerated hangar to be sold at auction, an industrial process at once beautiful and terrifying. The film transitions to fiction in a second act freely adapted from a Pirandello play. A man with a flower-shaped tumour on his lip accosts a traveller in an all-night café. Their seemingly mundane conversation becomes a metaphysical monolog as the man, feeling death upon him, clings to life by scrupulously observing its activity, tracking reality in every detail, as if to fill the gap between himself and the rest of the world. https://pouletmalassis.com/Flower-MEDIA Wed, 14 Dec 2022 07:58:43 +0000 Poulet-Malassis Films https://pouletmalassis.com/Flower-MEDIA <img

A recurring question for the students of th film group at Dora Maar middle school, and for Éric Baudelaire who worked with them over their four years starting in the 6th grade. Answering this political question – one that involves representations of power, social violence and identity – led them to seek a cinematic form that does justice to the uniqueness of each student, but also to the substance of their group. What are we doing together, if it is neither documentary nor fiction? A dramatic film, perhaps, where time does its work on the students’ bodies and discourse, and where we discover the possibility for each to speak in their own name by filming for others, and to become co-authors of the film and subjects of their own lives • Philippe Mangeot, Marcel Duchamp Prize catalogue
