L'étrange festival

Ever since the goddesses, gorgons and other sirens of ancient mythology, the strangest creatures, sometimes charming, sometimes terrifying, have continued to haunt our imagination. This documentary shows the disturbing fascination they exert on both filmmakers and the public and rehabilitates an underappreciated continent: the great female icons of horror and wonder in cinema.

The film is a series of images, shown in short takes (anywhere from a few frames to 30 seconds), of more or less fetishistic imagery (something Bouyxou was particularly fond of). After a credit and title sequence written on naked human flesh, the viewer sees the brilliant Molinier standing sanctimoniously in front of a screen. Soon he is joined by a woman, and he fondles her breasts while retaining his signature grin. Molinier seems to almost be the 'ringmaster' of the incidents, with almost every minute episode cutting back to him. His presence is one thing that makes this film remarkable; the same sort of aura that exists in Moliniers famous self-portraits and cut-ups is present here, on screen. (esotika.blogspot.com)

Détournement of a military training film, stolen from the Belgian army, augmented with a farcical credit sequence.

Work in progress, lengthened or shortened according to the irregular course of its development and its damage. Experimental film (erasures and drawings on blank or used film, various collages).
