This richly illustrated book, which includes two unpublished texts by Fontaine as well as a preface and an afterword by Yann Beauvais—an emblematic figure of experimental cinema in France who has greatly contributed to the discovery of Fontaine's work—is a fascinating journey into the filmmaker's universe.
The two artists met in Light Cone's screening room to watch Fontaine's protean, ever-expanding filmography in chronological order. The long discussion that took place over the course of the screenings, shedding light on the creative processes and the aesthetic concerns that went into the making of each film, would become the primary material in the elaboration of this book.
