Selected at Annecy 2023
With nearly 70 monumental works of art scattered throughout the district, La Défense, Paris, is Europe’s largest open-air museum. Sitting between the legs of the gigantic Red Spider, I wonder how I didn’t notice them before…
Director – Camille Authouart
In 2013, Camille graduated from the Animation Film section of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris, with honors. Since her graduation, Camille has been exploring the profession of filmmaker, from animated shorts for children (Les Oiseaux du souci, Au dodo les crocodiles!), to feature-length documentaries (Médiums), to music videos and experimental cinema (Mélodie pour Agnès, Mort à l’Aveugle) . The particularity of Camille’s work stems from her attraction to novelty, experimentation and the search for transversality. Thus, each film of the director is imagined in a different technique and with its own aesthetic, developed according to each project, with the aim of always being at the service of the story told. Here, for La Grande Arche, the film was born from a sketchbook, so traditional animation and pastel scenery were a natural choice, in order to offer the viewer an experience as close as possible to the story told by the narrator.
