At 48, I was suddenly struck by epilepsy. It was caused by a sudden dysfunction of my hippocampus, the part of the brain that shapes our memories from sounds, images, and intertwined narratives.
For the past twenty-five years, I’ve produced over 200 political, social, and cultural news reports for Primitivi, a grassroots activist “street TV,” contributing to the creation of an alternative collective memory. When these two storylines intersect, the question becomes one of choices, and of what is forgotten.
About the Author
Documentary film editor for 25 yearsDirector of the film "la fête est finie" in 2015 and co-director of "la bataille de la Plaine" in 2020. I am the main animator of the collective "PRIMITIVI", a very active street TV in Marseille. The association produces (with derisory means) our long films, and diffuses on its platform 250 short films of political and social news realized since 25 years. I have also worked since my beginnings in the street theater field, on shows, installations, scenographies built on an audio-visual basis, whose restitution has always been a source of formal experimentation of captation and narration.I am an editor for F3 as a casual of the show on the JT, magazines, docus.
