Plot:
"A filmmaker and academic, Stephane Marti has pursued cinema as a visual art form, divorced from the codes of the dominant narrative cinema, since 1976. He is a passionate and militant advocate of Super-8, a filmmaking tool which he has used for 30 years.
His work has been shown in festivals and international presentations and has elicited numerous articles and interviews. His flamboyant, baroque and sensual style focuses principally on the Body and the Sacred.
Baroque shades of red and gold fill the frame and dominate the color palette. These pure colours are captured by a mobile, trembling camera, whose gaze is projected with desire towards the bodies of the actors. The plasticity of the masculine subject's skin is the axis of its gaze.
Stephane Marti loses his frame, rediscovers it, overfills it. An active sensuality accumulates from the intimate gestures of desire. The camera finds no recourse or fixed position, but is sensitive to the suggestive languor of the body. The living eye captures its subjects, and luxuriant editing brings them together, held in the impulse of irrevocable gesture.
