Lafoxe is a live sound-on-film performance duo, Gaëlle Rouard and Etienne Caire play with two customized 16mm projectors. This performance is a game of disassembling conventional narrative mechanics. Irreverent and free handling inflicted to films and projectors turns over the spectator. He's the witness of the collapsing narrative pretext and find himself projected in the very matter of the cinematographic process.
A cinema whose ultimate transformation is definitively not placed on the film.

Filmbase is a video vs cinema 16 mm live improvisation.
Gaëlle Rouard / Étienne Caire

In a genuine gesture of instrumentist, Filmbase develops a set of rythm and texture research, visual and sound compositions, which gives enter to a new substance...
Lionel Palun defined is work as electro-video. In Filmbase he does not use prepared image, he refilms light sent by Riojim. From the software he has developed, he worked in direct image by filtering feedback, delay and movements.
Riojim feeds the equation with his 16 mm films projections. Images are shot and processed at Atelier MTK, a cinema laboratory ( processing, optical printer, editing) for artists.

MetalkinG ¡¡¡ EL KINO UP YOUR EARS !!!
Richarles Bronson bass & electronic Riojim16mm projector
A MetalkinG performance is a concentrated and intense affair : equipped with the barest essentials, a bass guitar and a couple of electronics junks, Bronson improvises fast and loud japanoïse. Riojim work methods are as crudely effective as those of Bronson: he apply severe treatment to the projector, play around with the film and the homemade optical sound-on-film.
