Ca me rappelle le Placard, festival de musique électronique au casque, qui a lieu dans un appartement à Belleville, chaque été… J’y ai fait une perfo en 2003, pour laquelle j’avais dû emprunter le laptop d’un ami jazzman à l’IRCAM.

Pour la bande-son, j’étais accompagné de 2 musiciens du Sud de la France qui utilisaient presque essentiellement dans leurs compositions des sons de la gameboy.

Fleur Boonman has started shooting last week her first feature-length film : Portable Life.

A Band Apart is the name of the production company created by Quentin Tarantino (who used to write scripts with Roger Avary while he was working in a video store in Long Beach, CA), with Lawrence Bender (who trained as a civil engineer).

They gave their company this name, after the French New Wave classic, «Bande à Part» by filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard, because of his influence on their work.

Four stars of today’s Swiss-French cinema (namely, Ursula Meier, Jean-Stéphane Bron, Frédéric Mermoud and Lionel Baier), have recently decided to join forces to create their own production company : “Bande à part Films”.
