TEMPS D’HIVER

In the heart of winter, a filmmaker is at work. Her work encompasses her life, the place of her body in within the season, her past, cinema, her friends and colleagues from Brussels (Alexandra Dementieva, Boris Lehman...). These observations by André are visualised in a minimalist way, but also with intimacy and richness in emotions and detail. They accentuate the lyrical qualities of the static, the elegance of the natural. In this self-portrait, shot on 16mm, the film itself is considered as a perishable medium, to be preserved in a dark, cool place – in between the jam and fresh potatoes – so that, when the time is right, the celluloid can submerge as if it were a sparkling diamond.
