PROJECT
Antechamber is an animated film, a show and an exhibition all at the same time. This manifold production, bringing together different cultural stakeholders (cinemas, festivals, theaters, museums, etc.), is one more step in the company’s work, combining disciplines and reaching out to audiences of all cultures and ages, beyond words, leaving room for the imagination and poetry. The two artists of STEREOPTIK, Romain Bermond and Jean-Baptiste Maillet, expand their artistic research with the production of a short animated film combining cartoon, stop-motion, painting, object theatre and music. In addition to being the making-of of the film, the show lets the audience discover the company’s creative process. The exhibition supplements these first two proposals, by taking the audience behind the scenes to discover the research stages, the preparatory sketches, the storyboard and even installations made from overlays revealing the principles of frame-by-frame animation or how to create a movement from six or seven drawings.
PITCH
Locked away in his room, a student spends all summer working on his thesis. Lost among his notes, he finds a photo of himself as a child, holding a butterfly. And thanks to this photo, he reconnects with his capacity for observation and the wonder that were buried inside him. He spends his days feeling the wind, watching the clouds and daydreaming. He flies over the Amazon, dives into ocean depths, meets chimerical creatures and falls in love. His imaginary travels, and his contemplation of his own environment, sometimes intrigue him, move him, and often fill him with wonder, but above all change him forever.

Two performances on October 10th:

RoZéo is a living installation to be observed unhurriedly, a deep breath with the sky as a horizon. The bodies, perched on delicate metal poles, sway gently, as if moved by an imperceptible breath. Their swaying evokes the reed beds of the Camargue.
RoZéo does not seek to be a show, but a deep breath, a serene dialogue with the landscape, a move towards the poetics of lightness, softness and contemplation. RoZéo is what we can discover unexpectedly during a stroll, what emerges there on the horizon, those air bodies gently tossed by the breeze, at times shaken by the wind.

Food Culture Playdate: Rediscovering Our Lost Foods & Biodiversity
Food Culture Playdate, curated by The Kindness Meal, is an immersive two-day workshop dedicated to introducing young learners to Rajasthan’s lost foods and disappearing biodiversity. Through engaging storytelling, detective games, and hands-on activities, children will dive into the unique flavors, ancient grains, and native plants of Rajasthan, learning how these once-essential foods shaped the region’s culinary heritage and ecosystem.

This experience aims to rekindle an appreciation for Rajasthan’s traditional ingredients —many of which are at risk of vanishing — while highlighting the importance of biodiversity in sustaining our food cultures. By the end of the weekend, kids will gain a newfound respect for the foods of their homeland and discover how they can become champions of Rajasthan’s culinary legacy.

AMRITA SHER-GIL : AN INDIAN RHAPSODY – CITY PALACE JAIPUR
18th January – 6 PM – City Palace Jaipur
For the Indian people, Amrita Sher-Gil is a legend, a symbol. Born in
Budapest in the early years of the Great War, this artist who was behind
contemporary Indian painting died in the winter of 1941, at age 28. From
Delhi to Bombay, and for all the artists of the Indian Diaspora throughout
the world, she remains an emblem, a memory; Her charisma, sometimes
compared to that of the Mexican artist Frida Khalo, situated her at the
origins of Indian modernity.
Shot in New Delhi, Bombay, Simla, Budapest and Paris, the film retraces
her wide-ranging life using her letters to friends and family. The film
describes a commitment to painting and a life in art as legendary as
certain Indian movie stars, such as Smita Patil and Raj Kapoor.

PARIS INDE SKETCHES AND CANVAS

PRESS :

Paris-Inde, beautifully photographed, this outstanding documentary film
Comprehensively covers the life and work of four major centemporary
Indian artists – Krishna Reddy, Raza, Akbar Padamsee, Ram Kumar, who
have extended stays in Paris.
The film tries to bring out the Parisian influence on these artists .

Free Press Journal – Mumbaï

Technically, the documentary is of high order. The director goes deep into
the artistic processes which characterise each of the four artists..

Times of India

AMRITA SHER-GIL AN INDIAN RHAPSODY

PRESS :

“ The intention was not to make a biography, but a film on how and why this woman was important and the influence she still has on artists today “.
It is indeed Cazals’look at Amrita Sher-Gil in her time and in history, as an
Artist and more importantly, as a woman, that makes for a fascination film. “

Mid-day Mumbaï
( Sonali Velinker )

“ She has a road named after her in New Delhi.Her paintings are fond in the
National Gallery of Modern Art. But how many of us know about her or her short life in which she explored the realms of contemporary art in the Indian
context ? It required a French director, Patrick Cazals to make a very exciting
documentary on her Amrita Sher-Gil

The Hindu ( Deepa H Ramakrishnan)

2 )

“ A distant perspective helps. which explains why French filmmaker Patrick Cazals has been more successful than an Indian filmaker in capturing the
spirit of legendary artist Amrita Sher Gil’s paintings in his documentary film.
And though Cazals had to literally rewind half a century back in time his 52-minute documentary titled Amrita Sher-Gil, an indian rhapsody is able
to make the most of whatever material was available and present it in a way that explains what placed her at the heart of Indian modernism.
The film, according to Cazals, was shot in Budapest, New Delhi, Paris, Mumbai and Shimla and builds on a shattered narrative taken from Amrita’s letters sent to her family…..”
