SICILIA! SI GIRA - APERÇU DE LA FABRICATION DU FILM DE JEAN-MARIE STRAUB ET DANIÈLE HUILLET

Jean-Charles Fitoussi

Jean-Charles Fitoussi (Tours, 1970) discovered cinema thanks to his father, who installed a Super 8 production unit in their basement for editing and showing home movies and comedies (Chaplin, Keaton). Fitoussi made his first film when he was 12. While working in cinema in his hometown, he studied philosophy, science, architecture and plastic arts. After a stage at Aaton Caméras he made his first 16 mm movie, the medium-length film Aura été, based on the shadows and light created by clouds as they pass over fields. Fitoussi then worked as an assistant director, after which he decided to make his first full-length film, D'ici là, in Rome. It was presented at the festival in Locarno in 1997. In the meantime, he founded the production company called Aura été. He met Jean-Marie Straub and Daniéle Huillet in Rome and became their assistant in 1996. In 2001, he presented Sicilia! Si gira, a documentary about the film by Jean-Marie Straub and Daniéle Huillet.
