12 Little Things(en)

12 Little Things. You only have to do 12 Little Things to bring back the bird. In this movie I’m in search of Furry as a ritual in times of bland and blank AI-optimization. The ritual is missing when the AI skips all steps. Furry offers so many rituals – so many steps. It’s really cult-like and that is the importance for humans in a post-post-(…)-digtale landscape: We need a cult to survive and escape the hyper-dominance of companies seeping into the everyday digital immersion of life, leaving no space left to go, while their AI-systems are helping right-wing actors worldwide to spread their poisonous ideologies, destroying any possibilites of a dignified human life on earth and earth itself.

But soon after, during a party at a local bar, the angel is accidentally shot by a neighborhood policeman. Based on Gabriel García Márquez’s short story 'A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings'.

Deux corps(fr)

A short fil that follows a body subjected to institutional and diffuse forms of power: medicalization, psychiatric labeling, regimes of sexuality, and everyday violence. Moving between a white clinical space, a cemetery in Toulouse, and ordinary interiors, the film unfolds through gestures, textures, and encounters with other bodies. Inspired by Michel Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, Artaud, Rancière, and critical thought from Latin America, this short film traces a sensitive cartography of emancipation and asks a simple yet difficult question: what can a body do when it attempts to reclaim its own history?
