Focalises(1980)
The film has been imagined in 1976 and realised in 1980. The idea was highlighting the depth of field throught the cinematic focus. The idea was also that in commercial movies the middle-distances are always blurred, sacrified, not seen, for the advantage of the focused foreground, tool of the narration.

Inside Deep Throat(en)
In 1972, a seemingly typical shoestring budget pornographic film was made in a Florida hotel: "Deep Throat," starring Linda Lovelace. This film would surpass the wildest expectation of everyone involved to become one of the most successful independent films of all time. It caught the public imagination which met the spirit of the times, even as the self-appointed guardians of public morality struggled to suppress it, and created, for a brief moment, a possible future where sexuality in film had a bold artistic potential. This film covers the story of the making of this controversial film, its stunning success, its hysterical opposition along with its dark side of mob influence and allegations of the on set mistreatment of the film's star.
