Qu'est-ce que le cinéma "expérimental"? Avec malice, humour et poésie, Pip Chodorov invite ses amis cinéastes - Hans Richter, Peter Kubelka, Ken Jacobs, Jonas Mekas, Maurice Lemaître, Stan Brakhage et bien d'autres - à évoquer leur travail, et retrace cent ans d'histoire de l'avant-garde tout en évoquant son rapport personnel à cet art, à ces films et images ayant forgé son existence.

“The film you are about to see now will not be projected onto the sky, as Maurice Lemaître’s film, UN SOIR AU CINÉMA, was in part in the 1960s during a performance in the gardens of the American Center, Boulevard Raspail, because it is made of transparent film, from beginning to end. And the image is precisely the projection of all the dust, scratches and accidents of all kinds whose transparency is altered, like so many stars and galaxies of possible images.” –Maurice Lemaître

This film is a supertemporal oeuvre. The support of the audience's participations is constitued by an image, which has varied several times during the course of many a projection. A projection by Maurice Lemaître, himself, in the soundtrack, clarifies the function of the session and finishes on a challenge thrown to the room.

“A pink moving screen will stand at the entrance to the theatre, in the night. One hour before the screening a projectionist will show Griffith’s Intolerance on this screen. The start of the film will be announced at 8.30 but no one will enter before 9.30. During these 60 minutes of waiting, people on the first floor of the building will shake out very dusty carpets, and someone else will throw ice water on the heads of those spectators waiting for the screening. Some actors who have infiltrated the crowd will insult other actors on the first floor. At this moment only, and to stop the beginning of a scandal, the doors of the theatre will open…”

For a long time now, we have been seeing outrageous attempts at tackling the 'woman problem' (and the 'man problem') by pretentious and old-fashioned 'professors' or 'revolu-tionaries,' related to the Nazis or Stalinists, who have just as outrage-ously exalted the proletariat, race or nationality, leading to racist and imperialist crimes. Such excessive behavior can only lead to the exploita-tion and destruction of the very gender concerned. In any case, the basic components of simple love and simple friendship (and a fortiori of Super-Love and Super-Friendship), that we have explored in depth (as evoked in my film, What is Love?), are still so poorly understood today by our contemporaries that even those who claim to be happily experiencing these run the risk of being quickly proven wrong by Life itself."

Ganeden, in Hebrew, signifies the «Garden of Pleasures", paradise, Eden. Our images of an imaginary journey, in this enchanting place, this place, according to the author, is an original reflection on the theme of travel, that the filmmaker sees, not as a tiring and vain disturbance, amongst the illusions of reality, which are sometimes dangerous, but as a movement, an action, an undertaking, an adventure.

Maurice Lemaître had the ambition to make a really creative film about the revolt of May 68. For this, he did not renounce any of his filmic audacities and he managed to plunge into this new thematic dimension the cinematographic inventions put in In its previous achievements.

This film, first titled La poubelle du labo (The Lab Trashcan), and after L'Enfer du cinéma (Cinema's Hell), has been projected for the very first time in September 1968 at the French Cinémathèque. It can be considered as the cinematographic equivalent of Tristan Tzara's method on how to make a dadaist poem by putting words in a bag, and it mostly rises from Isidore Isou's film enthusiasm. The film has been made in fact out of elements of film strips found in the trashcan of a film development laboratory, that have been subsequently taped together bit by bit following the exact order they were originally gathered.

Excerpt from the film's soundtrack: - Hélène Richol: Why do you call your film "Fin de tournage"? - Maurice Lemaître: First of all because most of my films have a title relevant to the cinema: ever since "Le film est déjà commencé ?", "Votre Film", etc. (...) And then because when I thought of doing this film, I was very depressed... not in good shape... And I thought that this would be my last film.

The "Films Imaginaires" are made up of only texts, filmed in cardboard boxes for the screen, of various works already shown to the public at the time, and which have been printed here or there, then gathered in the larger edition of my "Œuvres de Cinéma". The simple passage into photograms, then into the projection of these texts, with sound, transforms these "films" into another kind of film creation, even more advanced.
