C'EST PAS MOI (IT'S NOT ME) + HOLY MOTORS

- C'est pas moi (It's Not Me)
“Where are you, Leos Carax?” The Centre Pompidou asked the punkiest of French directors this question as the premise for a potential exhibition. Although the project remained dormant, the idea of a self-portrait endured to finally materialize in a collage of unreleased scenes of fiction, old videos, historical images and film excerpts featuring legendary characters (Monsieur Merde!). Dynamic, playful, and dreamlike, this poetic and political essay is not only one of the most innovative proposals from its creator but also a fascinating dive into the psyche of a visionary and introspective artist.

This film will be presented as a double feature with "Holy Motors," by Leos Carax.

- Holy Motors
Mr. Oscar is an actor, even if, strangely, there are never any cameras or audiences present to receive his eccentric performances - except perhaps Céline, the loyal conductor of the limousine that takes him from one location to the next. Despite this, he dutifully embodies each and every one of his characters, spanning several cinematic genres. Arguably the most iconic film from director Leos Carax, French cinema’s "enfant terrible, Holy Motors" is a beautiful love letter to cinema, a truly delectable and substantial treat raising questions about our "raison d’être," the role of art, as well as the many hats we wear throughout our lives.
