Drama
Jean Epstein, la Mer lyrosophe
1
Au sommet de sa carrière, Jean Epstein s'éloigne de l'industrie du cinéma pour suivre une voie créative plus personnelle. Il filme la Bretagne, ses îles et leurs habitants, axant moins son propos sur la construction narrative que sur l'exploration quasi ethnographique des lieux. La nature devient l'un des acteurs majeurs de son cinéma. James Schneider arpente les grèves, filme les phares, écoute la mer, sur les traces de Jean Epstein et de son œuvre poétique.

Itto

Dec 31, 1934
Filmed in French Morocco, Itto's dialogue is spoken primarily in the tribal Chleuh language. The jingoistic story concerns a series of clashes between French occupational forces and a rebellious Chleuh chieftain. Itto (Simone Berriau), chief's daughter, becomes embroiled in a romance with a Moroccan tribesman who has gone over to the French side. It is implied in Itto that it's okay to betray one's own people if it will preserve French colonialism in Africa. To modern viewers, the rampant chauvinism in Itto is a difficult pill to swallow.

Altitude 3.200

Jul 21, 1938
"Altitude 3.200" asks the question and provides the premise of what would happen if a group of young people----poor, rich, discontented, bored--- were given an idyllic community in which to live. Call it a colony. Call it a village. Call it one-world. Mainly call it a futile exercise in changing human nature, mores, culture and attitudes at any altitude. For t'ain't no time before clashing personalities, petty jealousy, violence and---that old demon---love create havoc. And isn't much longer before they become re-united in the face of an avalanche that threatens to destroy them. They all return to whence they came, sadder and wiser.
