Ecran Nomade: film concert
12 French animated films for ages 10 and up (selection available for ages 6 and up)
Duration: 55 minutes
Since 2022, Jérôme Lopez and Xavier Garcia have been developing a film concert and participatory creation project, particularly in Brazil. Following on from Tela Sonora, Ecran Nomade this time opens up the project to a corpus of contemporary French films. Both French and Brazilian animation are distinguished by their vitality, aesthetic diversity, and rich narrative forms.
Ecran Nomade is based on a selection of animated short films from a partnership with the Ecole Gobelin (Paris) and Studios de Minuit. Different authors, a new generation, revealing a wide variety of styles, rhythms, and perspectives. These films are accompanied by original music, performed live by Xavier Garcia and Jérôme Lopez, always combining contemporary music, electronic music, and sound materials from field research and archives.
Like Tela Sonora, Ecran Nomade is designed as a mobile and adaptable project intended to circulate in a variety of contexts: theaters, festivals, cultural venues, and non-dedicated spaces. With 18 films now available, the Brazilian films from Tela Sonora and the French films from Ecran Nomade can be programmed à la carte according to audience and age group.
The Video Briefcase
At the crossroads of video and sound art, collecting, and digital creation, the video briefcase developed by Jérôme Lopez is both a portable tool for visual and sound creation and a tool for participatory creation. Part of a dialogue between art brut, ethnography, and ethnomusicology, the video briefcase is rooted in both aesthetic and ethical research.
Each project is born out of immersion in a territory: encounters with inhabitants, collecting objects, sounds, stories, and images. These materials—both intimate and documentary—become the raw material for an in situ sound and visual creation, often presented in the form of a public performance or film.
Designed with a low-tech approach, this device allows for the live manipulation of photos, writings, personal objects, and plants, as well as painting and drawing. Each video briefcase is unique: the product of a place, a moment in time, and the languages that intersect there.
