a radical homosexual cinématography
Friday December 7, 2007 with 20h30
Popular house of Montreuil
FREE ENTREE
Inventor with Jean-Luc Guionnet of a haptic cinema, cinema
of the touch, where the camera guided either by the?il but by the arm
alone of the agents at the same time filmeurs and filmed, penetrates
in a sensory way to the c?ur of the bodies and of the fittings of its
desire, the cinema into super 8 of Andre Almuró, in addition
type-setter of musics electroacoustics, constitutes certainly one of
the most succeeded research of a specifically male and homosexual
cinematographic language. Its films which it carries out since
1978, in the gleaming of the minerality of the skins, in the
sculptural quivering of the meeting, constitute a single experiment of
organic vision.
" Between two men, a cinema of orgasm
and desire at the edge of the syncope, an attempt to grant the
pleasure of the body to the pleasure of the act to film, attempt some"
impossible "share but ô how much attractive and worthy of the most
interest, bus exit of the greatest risk, that of the life even " Christian Lebrat
Andre Almuró, born in 1927 and afterwards of the first sound research since 1947, becomes producer of radio to French Broadcasting (RDF) in 1950. He composes on texts of Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso, Eugene Ionesco, Jean Genet, Julien Gracq, Jules Supervielle and the Fièvre part of marble for the ballet of Maurice Béjart. In 1957, year when it meets the young person Pierre Clémenti of which it was a time Pygmalion, it integrates the Group of musical research of the ORTF. Since 1973, it teaches with Faculty Paris I Sorbonne. In 1976, it presents its first action Partition performance with Leccia Angel; melts the Sound-Image-Body group with its students. In 1978, it carries out its first film, Cortège (music of pH Jubard), which will be followed by more than 30 others, and is directed very quickly towards a deliberately haptic cinema. In 2002, it publishes "the?il Pinéal, For a cinématography" with the editions Paris-Experimental.
