Jaques Dutoit

A film about an ongoing cinematic adventure that began in 1978: a vast anthology of personality portraits called Cinématons, dealing with people in the arts. Historical, ethnological, sociological and psychological, this anthology is a living record of the artistic community of the last 20th century which attempts to answer these questions: Why film everyone? Why choose cultural personalities? How do the subjects look at their image? How much exhibitionism and narcissism is involved in being filmed?

Reel 19 of Gérard Courant's on-going Cinematon series.

The ending of filming 24 passions over 24 years in Burzet (France). Shot on a silver film, it takes us on a tour around the area now left empty.
