Synopsis
L’intelligence de la main
A project by the Fondation Bettencourt Schueller
A series of films made in the studios of the recipients of the Liliane Bettencourt Prize pour l’intelligence de la main®
“Viewers have the impression that they are fully present in the artists’ workspaces. Instead of following a traditional film narrative, they focus their gaze on what interests them and freely seek to discover the ‘secrets’ of an artistic profession. Spectators can follow a person’s gaze or discover the setting and surrounding tools, from a small bookbinder’s workshop to the vast expanse of a lace spinning mill with its deafening looms. […] The project’s originality lies in the fact that this technique is being applied here to a ‘real reality.’” Alain Fleischer, Artistic Director and filmmaker
