Cinémas hors circuits

 

Welcome to the Cinémas hors circuits site.

Dedicated to independent cinema, Cinémas hors circuits is a project to highlight the work of independent publishers/distributors, cultural activists without whom many films would have disappeared from memory. As active custodians of a significant part of the cinematic heritage, such publishers have to counter the blockbuster mentality of mainstream distribution and the concentration of distribution networks.

To enable both the general audience and professionals to discover the films such independent publishers promote, and to encourage debate around new challenges and opportunities in publishing, Cinémas hors circuits offers:

a portal for independent publishers
 
a fair: an event entitled Salon du DVD & des éditeurs indépendants de cinéma/The DVD & Independant Publisher's Fair which wich took place in Paris in 2008 and 2009, in Poitiers in 2010 & 2011.

LA TUMULTUEUSE VIE D’UN DEFLATÉ
Camille Plagnet
France, 2009
documentary

The film portrays the hectic life of the “Great Z”, an engine driver of the Abidjan-Ouagadougou line for 20 years, laid off in 1995 by the National Railways of Burkina Faso following the privatization imposed by the World Bank. The film is a tragicomedy from Africa. We will see the tall and fragile silhouette of a Black, whiteface clown, both melancholy and mischievous, wandering the dusty streets of Ouagadougou. We will hear his peculiar language, his tormented and sharp words telling his past and current trials, his hatred and his hopes. We will watch the moving grimaces of the 54-year-old man, prematurely old from heavy drinking and crying, who stands yet the test of time laughing.
