It seems that if the “Gift of Childhood” vanishes at puberty, for some the ability to Play
endures. Is it something more than a Mask which eclipses the difficulties of Life ?
For whom does Childhood remain an innate dexterity, present till Death, as a faculty
to Wonder, to be elsewhere more vividly present, to recreate oneself ?

AN INVITE TO A MOVIE EXPERIENCE :
LE SCHÉMA DE TALTLI

The human world is divided between 46 different Civilisations.
A Civilisation is a network of connexions.
So far, each human being has chosen a civilisation, raised its flag
and fought for its hegemony. The fights for hegemony between
Civilisations are ill bringing and so rich in wars.
Could we learn from the globalisation of mankind’s connexions
how to get rid of such fights of ours ?
Are we able, today, to think and produce this single Civilisation
of every man on Earth ?
Is it possible to imagine the World as it would appear to us,
would this universal Civilisation surround us at the moment
of our speech, or tomorrow ? What would resemble our flags,
our newspapers columns, and anthems of Yesterdays ?

THE DATA BANK’S JOURNEY

One day the painter came to see me, as he knew I was a cineaste.
It was a long time since he was drawing, and it was now more often that
some of his friends were coming to ask him why was it that he had never
shown his artwork in a public exhibition. Now he didn’t know how to
present his drawings. He knew he wanted some way to collect his work
in a unique work of art. One which wouldn’t destroy the phantasmagoria
which was glued to his paintings.
