622 ::: Lady Man (1976) ::: short ::: The symbolic caress. The argument is the erotic power of a choreography with three people: camera, colour, and above all, bust. The musical illustration is a electroacoustic piece named Adonai, of André Almuro, composer and working for radios. The score, totally independant, no repeating, no illustrative, add an erotic charge to the sensorial perception of the movie. Editing functions with formal analogies contained by shots, without any consequence. It is a gathering of moduls reconstituted in a whole thing by the linearity of the movie. In this one, the body's desire is always present, expressed by the language of images. Concerning the topic, it is this body, space to film, sacralised by visual interventions and exploration of camera. The projection on big screen produces a body-landscape or an androgynous body of which some parts remain undecipherable. Track of colours on epiderms is a personnal tribute to "living paintbrushs" used by Yves Klein for his "Anthropometries" (1960).

698 ::: From Orphan to King (2005) ::: documentary ::: For fifteen million years orangutans roamed tropical forests from China to South East Asia. In Borneo, one of their last island outposts, lives one today who is a legend. He's won more than just a kingdom, he's won human hearts. They gave him the name Kusasi. The Orangutan King is the story of Kusasi's life told to us by a remarkable witness. Dr Birute M. Galdikas has been researching orangutans in Borneo for over 40 years. Under the guidance of Louis Leakey, Galdikas joined Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey to become a pioneer of Great Ape field research. Together they were known as the 'trimates', or 'Leakey's Angels'. Yet while Goodall's chimpanzees and Fossey's gorillas were made familiar through films, the orangutans are still largely unknown to television audiences. Their solitary lives high in the tree canopy have made them difficult to follow and film. Now, for the first time, Dr Galdikas will draw audiences deep into the orangutan universe. With enthusiasm and insight she tells us this special story - taking us back 30 years and unfolding Kusasi's story with detail, energy, and the wonder that she still feels for the orangutan species. As a three year old orphan, Kusasi fell under the care of Galdikas in her forest research camp. But driven by a cunning and tenacious spirit Kusasi did not behave as the other ex-captive infants. From the moment he arrived until today, Galdikas has watched Kusasi fight to win back and then succeed at life in the wild. And he's achieved what had once seemed impossible, reaching the top of the power hierarchy and ruling for ten years. The people who work at Camp Leakey enjoy his charisma, and even those who only visit him in his forest kingdom are struck with awe. As Julia Roberts was in 1997. Her encounter with Kusasi was unplanned - becoming a tight clinch with an irritable 140 kilo beast, possessing the strength of ten men. But she was unharmed. Kusasi is not malicious, and he's respected as much for his indifference to humans as for his power over the other orangutans. Today his spirit still burns brightly but his physical strength is fading. His fights with the rogue males who cross his borders are weakening him and The Orangutan King is the last chance for us to see him in power. But the hope of this film is that he will not be the last of his kind to rule with such strength in his forests. If the forest destruction can be stopped, there is a long future for the considerable Kusasi bloodline.
