Description
A master of found footage recovery and the film lifting technique—a method she perfected that involves peeling away, manipulating, and transferring images from one medium to another—Cécile Fontaine is one of the most important representatives of experimental cinema in the 1980s and 90s.
Stefano Masi's meticulous description of the films and processes invented by the filmmaker draws us into the dizzying creativity of Cécile Fontaine, at the boundaries of dream, politics, and play, where plastic intensity vies for primacy with formal invention.
Followed by an annotated filmography.
