Geographies ; Interviews With Charles de Meaux

Charles de Meaux is one of those rare players on the international cinema scene who possesses an overview of the upheavals that have taken place in the realm of images in the last decade.

Both filmmaker and producer, he is primarily known as the person who built a bridge between cinema and the contemporary arts in the mid-nineties. He reinvented the methods of film production thanks to his production house, Anna Sanders Films, which gave artists such as Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Pierre Huyghe and Philippe Parreno the opportunity to think in terms of filmed works. He took up the challenge of directing, with Le Pont du trieur (with Philippe Parreno), Shimkent Hotel, Marfa Mystery Lights and Stretch, his most recent film. In his work, he uses the human, esthetic and geopolitical adventure as a starting point. In exploring these many landscapes, Philippe Azoury draws the portrait of a filmmaker who still believes in film as a medium that reinvents legends and establishes contact with lost worlds.
