Marcher ou La Fin des Temps modernes

Description

“Boris Lehman writes about his film: "It is an experimental program produced by Belgian television. It lasts exactly 27 minutes 15 seconds, and 10 images.

There is no more space for pedestrians today , their territory is increasingly reduced. They are confined in ghettos bearing the barbaric name of footpath. In Los Angeles, only crazy people still walk. Elsewhere, walking has become a luxury sport or an absurd mechanism. time, man has walked (Hannibal, Mao, Muybridge, Chaplin) - on earth, water and the moon, from the hollow of volcanoes to the summit of Everest. Life is only a long walk of birth to death. Without walking, man is lost. In the program you are about to see, the walker is king. He moves everywhere without fear, multiplies and superimposes himself, colors himself and penetrates the image. He walks on water without drowning and in the air without falling, embraces and flies away without tiring. He is the master of unlimited space. The walker can then dream…” (Source: Jean-Michel Botquin)
