Cinématon n°33 : Stéphane Marti

About This Movie

Cinématon n°33: Stéphane Marti is this intriguing slice of life captured in Lyon on a September afternoon in '78. It offers a raw glimpse into Marti’s persona, the chill of that era palpable through the lens. You’ll notice the deliberate pacing, a reflection of the time, and how it quietly draws you into Marti’s world. The simplicity of the setting contrasts with the depth of character, making it a meditation on the filmmaker's journey rather than a standard biography. The absence of flashy effects gives it this honest, grounded feel that feels so personal. It's just you, the camera, and an artist in his element.

This piece is quite unusual in the collector's market, with its niche appeal and limited availability. The Cinématon series has a unique spot in film history, sparking curiosity among those interested in experimental cinema. Due to its obscurity, this film doesn’t often pop up, making it a gem for dedicated collectors who appreciate the subtleties of filmmaker portraits. Expect to see it mostly in private collections or rare film festivals focused on avant-garde cinema.
