Cénotaphe
A collection of experimental films from the Atelier 105 residency program, which fuses visual experimentation and documentaries into edgy works and garners attention around the world.
The five films of this program were all made in the past three years during the Atelier 105 residency program, created in 2014 by Light Cone, a Paris-based experimental cinema distributor.
The boundaries between genres have tended to blur over the past decade or two, and the films produced by Atelier 105 are no exception to this trend. The program features both films with strong formal components and works on the edge of documentary. The latter, by filmmakers whose filmography generally falls under the rubric of experimental cinema, take a bold approach to the question of reality, breaking with the codes of the genre and proposing a singular vision of the world: that of being both a witness to their times and transcending reality through visual artifacts, which distances them from the more traditional forms of documentary, such as observational film or “direct cinema.”
