​

• Roberto Matta, the heart is an eye

A Fabrice Maze movie - 120 minutes

"I was born to release the brakes of the sky," wrote Matta (1911-2002). He was born in Chile and lived in France, the United States, and Italy. His Basque origins destined him to wander and travel. He was a citizen of the world. He brilliantly represented the new generation of surrealist painters and opened new perspectives in automatism with psychological morphology. Matta was driven by an unrelenting curiosity, and his encyclopedic knowledge spanned from literature to poetry, mythology to history, mathematics to astrophysics, ethnology to archaeology, and botany to oenology. His work embraced all mediums: architecture, painting, drawing, sculpture, engraving, lithography, etching, ceramics, furniture design, etc. He worked for a revolution of the gaze. His explosive and volcanic creativity, his revolutionary commitment, and his cosmic vision of the world based on change and the awareness of being in the world, place Matta in the pantheon of the great artists of the 20th century.

• Arthur Cravan, a headlong plunge into life

A Rémy Ricordeau movie - 95 minutes

A mythical figure of defiance against all forms of conformity, the poet-boxer Arthur Cravan helped to blow apart the social, poetic, and aesthetic conventions of his time at the beginning of the 20th century. Described by André Breton as a “raw genius,” Cravan recounts in this film the adventures and passions that shaped his life. Iconoclastic by both principle and taste, he takes this opportunity to cast an unflinching retrospective look at the poetic insurrection he embodied. By refusing to separate life from its sensitive expression, his “dazzling journey” inspired most of the artistic and political avant-gardes of the last century.
