Experiencing Interruptions?

Patient Double

In a totally empty, white room, continues in front of a bright one make windows, a woman. Strange, she is dressed only in a white blouse. Sat on the ground, she keeps the right and fixed but distraught look. Head first plunged into his shambolic spirit, we attend another vision of the world. A single world, where she is her own doctor. A patient who steeps himself on herself, asking itself many questions, so creating a nothingness. A nothingness which confronts her with a devastation of herself. A journey between the mysterious closed room and its spirit.

Director Statement

Born June 18, 1999 of parents filmmakers, Antoine Bürcher very quickly developed a fascination for the image and the movement. He quickly learns photography, immortalizing everything that moves around him. Around his 8 years, he made his first videos with his brother and friends: small fictions, to which they laughed the evening even when they projected them. Over the years, he perfected himself and gradually learned the art of making and editing. He then met other young filmmakers, with whom he founded "L'Association des Jeunes Vidéastes (AJV)". According to him, group energy, which would have given him the opportunity to progress, is the most important on a shoot. It is in this spirit that he manages the association with the rest of the committee.
What he likes most about cinema is to be surprised: to feel emotions for a few hours, to escape into another world, is what hopes every time he watches a film. The way the filmmakers manage to convey these feelings to the spectators fascinates him. "If I had to name my favorite director, it would be David Lynch with Mulholland Drive. I admire the way the images are coupled with the music. It happens, using the montage, the framing, the light and the different sounds, to make us shiver. "
