La Fondation Gérard Courant

I give a methodical account of my film work: the creation of new series (Lire, Trio, Avec Mariola), the shooting of a new feature film (Amours décolorées which will take ten years to edit) with Mariola San Martin.

Gérard Courant's "Filmed Diary" of December 14, 2011, produced in Dubai (United Arab Emirates). Between December 7 and 15, 2011, Gérard Courant was invited by the Dubai International Film Festival, in the United Arab Emirates. It was an opportunity for him to film many "Cinematons" of personalities from the Arab world and to continue his "Film Notebooks" from which he brought back 7 episodes.

A fake "Cinematon".

Madrid, a stroll in the Spanish capital with Joseph Morder followed by the snowstorm that paralyzed the Paris region on December 8, 2010.

“Les Malheurs de Marc Allégret” shows the ravages of time on the rushes of the unfinished film “Les Corsaires” which Marc Allégret began filming in 1940 and which was interrupted by the Second World War. By isolating and slowing down the most damaged parts of the French filmmaker's film rushes, I managed to create an object with abstract shapes and, insidiously, give another life to a major artistic work. - Gérard Courant

Le Passeur immobile, which covers the year 1987, is a Booklet filmed stuck between The Days and the Nights (1986) and The Artifice and the Fake (1988). These Notebooks have been punctuating my activity as a filmmaker for about fifteen years. They are like a life parallel to my other films and film series (Cinema, Group Portrait, Read, etc.). They are also like a letter to the spectators.

The films of Marilyn Monroe, sped up by Gerard Courant.

A simple, modest and faithful record of some moments at the Lucca Film Festival in October 2010, with songs and speeches by Abel Ferrara: trace of the co-presence of two of the greatest contemporary filmmakers, dissident and true sons of Cesare Zavattini’s revolutionary spirit.
