Gaëlle will be present with her own 16mm film projector to screen her film for the audience inside the cinema.
Join for a post screening conversation and nerd-session on the celluloid magic with director, cinematographer, sounddesigner and editor Gaëlle Rouard.
Gaëlle Rouard is a filmmaker, alchemist, and performance artist whose work dances between the realms of handmade cinema and live projection. Since the early 1990s, she has been a pioneer in the craft of photochemical film processing, embracing the unpredictable beauty of silver precipitating on celluloid. As a longtime member of Le 102, rue d’Alembert, a space dedicated to experimental music and film, she has continually pushed the boundaries of cinematic expression.
Rouard's artistry unfolds in the dim glow of multi-projection performances, weaving light, shadows, and sound into an ephemeral tapestry, both solo and in collaboration with other artists. Her works have graced screens at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the International Film Festival Rotterdam, and many other esteemed venues worldwide. As the driving force behind the Atelier MTK DIY film laboratory in Grenoble from 1996 to 2006, she nurtured a generation of filmmakers in the craft of hands-on cinema.

“I have the idea of how I will process in mind while I’m shooting. It’s how I process. I call it the trinity: the quality of the light, the nature of the film stock, and the way of processing the film. The combination of these three things will make the image. I consider myself a plastician, a painter. It’s a palette.”
