Un prolongement à l’expérience de la Cinétroupe né comme une évidence. Une installation super 8 où visages et paysages, d’Iran et de Turquie, rives du Bosphore et plages de la mer du Nord, sont autant de chemins parcourus vers nous. La caméra en guise de lien entre l’exilé et son trésor perdu. Comme un désir de laisser une trace de vies qui ont eu cours. Là-bas. De rendre visible toute sa richesse et d’en faire la fondation d’un monde commun.

Ressac : Retour violent des vagues sur elles-mêmes / The Waves Violently Turn Back on Themselves.

These images extend the Cinétroupe experience in the creation of the Tous les autres s’appellent Zéki show. The urge to make a film about hints of lives spent in the country of origin is born of meetings. Opening yourself up to the past and trying to find a living memory there is a way of finding the OTHER in all its dimensions, making all its richness visible and creating the foundation of a shared world from it. The camera rebuilds the connections between the exile here, the Cinétroupe actor, and what he left behind him: his girl friend from university, his sister Leïla, his nephew Memet, the village of Zourabad, the digs in Teheran, girl friend Nahid, little Elham, his mother’s grave, a storm in Azerbaijan, Shabnam’s leaving school... The faces and panoramas of Iran and Turkey are seen as roads leading to us. A song rooted in the shores of the Bosphorus is finally washed up on a North Sea beach.
