"From the singular to the plural, from father to son, from a company to laid-off workers, from one party to another, in the 90s, decadence is that of jobs, excess comes with techno, free parties improvise themselves in each deserted space. Alexandra Tilman's film testifies to these situations without giving in to obvious fascinations, hindsight gives such a distributed point of view. "
Gille Grand, programmer of the FID international film festival in Marseille, category of parallel screens.

From singular to plural, from a father to his son, from a factory to laid-off workers, from a resident in a urban wasteland, cadences relate the fathers 'work or the sons' music. Le Havre in the 1990s: decadence lies in the job market, outrageousness comes from techno music, rave parties materialize in every deserted place. Alexandra Tilman's film depicts these situations without giving in to obvious fascinations, her perspective offering a mosaic-like viewpoint.
Le Havre, a city with a working-class and maritime tradition, is now affected by deindustrialisation ... Factories are gradually giving way to brownfields. Mechanical noises, electrical distortions and the repetitive bass of Noise and Techno then resonate with declining industrial history… Free parties clandestinely reinvest in places abandoned by production.

In the heart of the Dordogne, the monastery of Vauclaire, five centuries old, becomes a lunatic asylum, then takes the name of psychiatric hospital. Here time stands still, and lives continue. Different, locked up, medicated, treated. The time of a parenthesis or a whole existence.
Videos, photographs, texts and sound creations make up this installation project supported by the Drac Région Nouvelle Aquitaine, the Arts and Sciences of Art research laboratory of Liège (Belgium) as well as the artist residency of the Zapart association of the CHS Vauclaire.
