Le corps de la ville #30
Le 30° épisode du Corps de la ville a été tourné à Berlin avec la chorégraphe américaine Kate Foley sur le pont Oberbaumbrücke, qui relie Kreuzberg à Friedrischain, séparés par le mur jusqu'en 1989 - dont on aperçoit une partie encore conservée sur le dernier plan du film. C'est donc un symbole de la réunification que nous avons choisi de mettre en scène pour cette occasion particulière. A noter, la musique de vs_price qui a composé la bande originale du premier film du réalisateur Nicolas Habas, il y a plus de 20 ans !

Habas, Nicolas
Nicolas Habas comes from cinema first, as a screenwriter and director of several short fiction films including Le mal de Claire, broadcast on French TV and documentaries (La parole en chantier, triptych on a popular neighborhood in urban renewal). He is very interested in the tensions between reality and the imaginary, society and intimacy, geography and territories. With a self-taught apprenticeship that led him to a deep understanding of the codes of the film industry, he decided to find «his» cinema and returned with Le Corps de la Ville, the web series anchored in dance, to his first loves, since he made his first dance video in 1998. Shot during the 30° Eurockéennes de Belfort Festival and Broadcast on Arte Concert, Mouvements is its second web series.
