Synopsis:

Hors Pistes Vol 3
Simmons, Laurie; Weber, Eleonore; Kotting, Andrew
The third volume of the HORS PISTES DVD presents three films selected during the 2008 festival: The Music of Regret (Laurie Simmons), Les hommes sans gravite (Eleonore Weber) and In the Wake of a Deadad (Andrew Kotting). Each of these films deliberately challenges our perceptions beyond that of the usual director and spectator roles. The shifting of form and subject makes HORS PISTES unique. Imagined and directed by the Pompidou Centre, with help from the French short film agency (Agence du court metrage), HORS PISTES is a cry for original creativity!

The Music of Regret, LAURIE SIMMONS, 2006, 40 min
Les hommes sans gravite, ELEONORE WEBER, 2007, 38 min
In the Wake of a Deadad, ANDREW KOTTING, 2006, 64 min

The Music of Regret (2006)
A musical in three parts that appropriates the genre and reaffirms its happy, fanciful aspects. Laurie Simmons invited musicians, professional puppeteers, dancers from the company Alvin Ailey dance company, filmmaker Ed Lachman and, especially, the actress Meryl Streep to join her for the occasion.

Les hommes sans gravite (2007)
Within the crumbling walls of a house in ruins, two young men - a lord and a gypsy - discover one another. Bodies and decors are filmed as echoes of one another, gracefully and languidly, constantly threatening to disappear into a narrative abyss. Through a mise en scene between frailty and persistance, Eleonore Weber's film follows the very movements of desire.

In the Wake of a Deadad (2006)
Following his father's death, Andrew Kotting made a giant blow-up doll bearing his father's traits and filmed himself deploying the doll in places where the deceased could no longer set foot. The film, between documentary, happening and intimate short story, is an extremely moving poetic reflection on the role and meaning of images in filiation and the grieving process.
