An Evening with Frédérique Devaux

For French-Algerian experimental filmmaker Frédérique Devaux, cinema is a plastic art. She takes each image or cell as her aesthetic focus rather than the sequence. Through scratching and marking the film as well as overlaying and reshooting sometimes five or six times, she weaves images and sounds (some from her Berber ancestry) into striking new personal and musical layers. Devaux currently teaches film at Marseille-Aix University in France and at Bejaia University in Algeria. Program length 90 minutes.
