JOUR DE FÊTE
Bernard GigounonIn this video Gigounon once again ventures on the broad footpath between reality and imagination. Science-fiction worlds are all around us, the only thing we have to do is allow our imagination to run freely.

JE SUIS CONTENT
Bernard MulliezIn different short sequences, a man talks directly in the camera about human management that organises its discourse towards success, dictates values, roles and objectives reuniting individuals in a group. Leadership is recognised as a more appropriate means to satisfy the longings of a group than allowing its individual members to provide for their own needs themselves...
