Behind the shutters

Messaline Raverdy & 50' — 2017

Starting with an empty factory, a family name and a trunk of archives, the poetic stroll of an apprentice film-maker who moves in her grandmother’s house. A reverie about oblivion and the invisible, woven of scattered materials, archival documents and language games, for a film-book wondering about the transformation of the female body, the question of an impossible transmission and the fabric of time.
