Pendant ce temps, dans une autre partie de la forêt
"Pendant ce temps, dans une autre partie de la forêt" (2007) is a short film by Arnold Pasquier. It is a cinematographic work featuring sequences shot in Paris, Venice, Naples, Tel Aviv, and in India.
"The eve of the second election round, there is a knock at the door. During this time, in another part of the forest, a boat crosses the Grand Canal, a carpenter sands a table frame, a group dances in a market, and Nicolas Sarkozy promises to put an end to the legacy of May 68".
Remark by Arnold Pasquier in 2019 :
"The political tension of the second round of the presidential election, opposing Ségolène Royal and Nicolas Sarkozy, inspired a film, mainly composed of already existing documents, where I alternate sequences shot in the discotheque du Palace in Paris in 1988, footage of a Venice Biennial, and an extract from one of Pina Bausch’s shows. The film ends with a fiction that brings together two actors in an apartment for a love song, a way of staging, in the conflict, a moment of respite and gentleness.
Pasquier, Arnold
Arnold Pasquier was born in Paris in 1968. After studying visual arts and cinema, he made tests in Super 8 and video, in which he developed a world of filmed newspapers and fictions. At the age of twenty, he approaches contemporary dance and collaborates with choreographers as documentarist and dancer. This experience marks the realization of a work where dance holds an important place.
From 1997 to 1999, he was received as a resident artist at the Fresnoy (Tourcoing, France) where he designed the installation "C'est ici que j'avais des baisers" (1997-1999) and produced about twenty short films, four radio design workshops For France Culture and dance performances capturing. In 1999, he presented the show "C'est merveilleux" in the Grande Nef du Fresnoy. He is the author of numerous films (fiction, documentary, video art), staged shows, scenographies, radio broadcasts. His work is articulated at the crossroads of these different disciplines. Winner of a residence Villa Médicis Hors les Murs (outside the wall) in Sao Paulo in 2004, he dances for Julie Desprairies in "La danse en accès accès", "Vue sur la mer" and "Là commence le ciel". He co-signs with her the video-dance installation "Les 3 contents", the result of the residence of the choreographer at the Manufacture de Sèvres (France).
