Un jour à Marseille

Marseille, Boulevard d’Athènes by day and by night, la Grande Joliette, la Corniche. Four stories, four views of the city.

“As I was looking once again at the images I shot in Marseille for the feature film Flòr da Baixa I immediately had the impression that the material could be the basis of a new work, a video that was already completed in the moment of shooting, with a minimum amount of editing, only cutting, and without touching the time or the images. This is how Un Jour à Marseille came about, with great simplicity, the same simplicity as the small stories it tells. I think it represents an important passage for me: from the subjective view of my early works to the evidence of reality, that is only apparently more transparent.” (M. Santini)
