“Hybrid status, both at the artistic and technical level of the films and at the level of their distribution, is undoubtedly the specificity of our productions, but also makes it sometimes difficult to fit into the boxes of the funding system or festival catalogs, and this sometimes makes our approach all the more difficult and perilous.

Our desire for plastic and narrative research and our curiosity for new images nevertheless remain intact.”

The very first issue of BREF, for this new Year, devotes a beautiful article to Autour de Minuit ! Interview by Jacques Kermabon in November 2013.
