Catalogue information
Ciné-Romand is a mise en abîme of Françoise Romand's previous films. Spectators are invited to discover them during a happening mixing fiction and reality in the context of a domestic theater. Peeping Toms are not always who we think they are. Françoise Romand is inspired by "L'Arroseur arrosé", taking up the role played by her great-grandfather de La Ciotat, the mischievous kid who bent the pipe in the famous film from the very beginnings of cinema. After filming the public and the inhabitants of the apartments where documentary scenes are improvised, Françoise Romand fictionally integrates them among the extracts from her films, revisited during editing. Spectators, hosts, angel guides, actors and technicians, all become characters in this fiction-documentary in Alice's mirror reflecting a mischievous fantasy where the roles reverse and complete each other.
