Films of Emmanuel Lefrant
Curated by Emmanuel Lefrant (FR)
Emmanuel Lefrant lives and works in Paris, where he makes films, all self-produced, exclusively on celluloid. Since 2000 he has also been doing live cinema performances as part of the the collective Nominoë and in other collaborations. In parallel to that he works in Light Cone – Europe’s largest analog film distribution company of which he is a director and film curator since 2007.
Emmanuel’s film work is based on abstraction being apprehended as landscape. The films lie on the idea of representing or revealing an invisible world (the secret forms of emulsion), a nature that one does not see. They are contemplative movies which are presented under the shape of a physical experience, an experience of the body. The time of the screening is a great ordeal (the educated eye and ear suffer) because these are films that work on the hallucinatory mode: as are pure visual and kinaesthetic experiences.
