Project decription :
Windows have never been more important. We are doomed to see the World through them, and the screens that surround us are ultimately just other windows through which we try to see other fragments of the world. Very quickly, what we see will remind us of something else.
Croisée is a collective film of several artists from different countries, among these countries we find Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, Lebanon, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Senegal, Mauritius, Turkey and Argentina, these are the countries of the artists which I have already had confirmation. Each artist is asked to stage and film a sequence through their window (without being in the field), telling a little story, or reading a few lines from a book, or singing a song... Through their proposals I will illustrate the film with the ticket of a 2d animation imagined by the text or the proposed song. The whole film is built around a single visual element; the window, but the fable will be built by editing the different stories told by the artists and the animation comes as an escape from this single visual element; the window, a window that reflects the monotony of confinement and an animation that reflects imagination as the only and last resort.
