Le Passeur immobile, qui recouvre l'année 1987, est un Carnet filmé coincé entre Les Jours et les nuits (1986) et L'Artifice et le factice (1988). Cela fait une quinzaine d'années que ces Carnets ponctuent mon activité de cinéaste. Ils sont comme une vie parallèle à mes autres films et à mes séries cinématographiques (Cinématon, Portrait de groupe, Lire, etc.). Ils sont aussi comme une lettre adressée aux spectateurs.
