struggle(s) memories

Voraces is an experimental short film written in collaboration with visual artist Vincent Bergeron for the 2026 edition of the activist film festival Est-ce Que Tu Réalises?.

The film experiments with narrative forms to link editorial archives of the Canuts newspapers, and thus the struggles for their rights during the revolts of 1831 and 1834, with archives of contemporary television newspapers.

This clear parallel between the first pre-union struggles and the many struggles that our societies are going through, draws a typical pattern of social challenges, starting from class consciousness until bourgeois repression, always victorious in minds, but rarely in the bodies.

This shared narrative aims to recall both the history of the first struggles that took root in the region of Lyon, but also the diversity of fields of struggle, and their necessary convergence.

Voraces (excerpt)

The soundtrack that I composed for this creation tries at best to represent the alienation that industry has injected into work and its repetitive forms.

The use of synthetic, saturated and aggressive sound materials then comes to support a certain oppression up to the total and violent chaos of the baton.

Conversely, the film ends with a long musical spiral, harmonious and using more traditional instruments, to evoke a joyful hope that is built over time.
