Director Statement

During a period of intense work, I felt the need for a personal project, and I knew I wanted to create a screendance. I met the choreographer, so I knew the form but not the content. At that time, I was going through a rough period and spent hours walking in the woods. Suddenly I heard screams and the sound of a harmonica. It felt unreal in the forest. The music came closer and I saw a young man screaming, with two people behind him playing the harmonica to help him move forward, since he had a functional disability. As I passed them, I felt their pain. The words came to me, I memorized them, went home to the studio to record. And I knew, this is my film.

The creative process began with the lyrics, which choreographer Rebecca Rosier then transformed into movement. The music was added during the editing phase. I wanted every artist involved to interpret and contribute to the process freely and without filters.

In "fragments", I wanted to explore themes of forgiveness, self-discovery, and the search for inner peace. I used two different emotional settings in the film, both abstract: one represents the inner self, and the other is an empty room where the dance reflects the emotions.

This work is not for everyone. It’s not easy to take in, more a poetic kind of angst, enjoy ;)
