Previously unreleased interview of Pink Floyd at the Europa-Sonore studio in Paris, December 1971.

La Liseuse

Une belle rousse nue occupée à lire. Jean-Daniel Verhaeghe raconte comment le tableau de Jean-Jacques Henner prend vie pour Ferdinand, étudiant amoureux, et signe un conte teinté de mélancolie sur la force des arts et la puissance des rêves. Envoûtant.

En deux mots Quand Jeanne débarque à l’université, la belle rousse fait tourner bien des têtes. Mais c’est Ferdinand qui réussit à conquérir «La Liseuse», le surnom donné à la jeune fille qui ressemble au tableau de Jean-Jacques Henner. Ensemble, ils partent admirer la toile qui va s’immiscer dans leur vie. Et panser les blessures. Ma note ★★★ (bien aimé) Ma chronique La belle rousse et…

they've released a previously unseen fragment that agnès varda shot as test footage for a christmas film she was working on and then abandoned. in her own words:

Christmas Carol. Or rather Carole, because it was the name of this very young girl making her debut in 1965-1966 in a field reserved for men, before Claire Bretécher entered it and did wonders: cartooning. With his two friends, they earned their living by painting “father of Christmas” decorations on the bay windows of brasseries. For one of the two, I was looking for what we called a beatnik. Élizabeth Guy (the same one who later became his wife) sent me Gérard Depardieu. He was 18/19 years old and had a sumptuous air of revolt. Christmas Carole testified to the fed up that was already brewing among young people. Refused in advance on receipts, I decided to shoot a sequence or two to lure a producer. Here we are making plans towards Montparnasse. We also turned towards Boulevard Haussmann, in front of the packed windows of the department stores and the Christmas lights. Igor denounced excessive consumption while begging. Depardieu's voice already had magnificent inflections. And his courage never wavered, he was the one who carried the stand and even the camera sometimes, especially when we did some ambient shots on rue de la Gaîté. All that remains of all this is a few photos, four to five minutes of film that at the time I couldn't even fit in. Agnes Varda (1994)

Rétrospective “Viva Varda !” de la Cinémathèque Française, janvier 2024.

Flame / Polte, 2018. short, 15 min. Directed by Sami van Ingen (b. 1964, Finland). 

Synopsis: 

Three years ago at La Cinémathèque Française a negative was found of a lost Finnish film from 1937: Silja – Fallen Asleep When Young. After years of gradual decay, the melodrama's images were transformed into an unintended experience. Portions of the scanned negative, with all their defects left as is, reflect a fascinating materialization of time and bear witness to the mutability of meaning and perception.
