A very special event took place tonight: the premiere of "Maman", a short movie written, produced and directed by my college friend Lucie Viver. It was at 7:30 pm at the "Ciné 104" in Pantin.

It's impossible to explain what happens in the movie without ruining the fun of it: since it's a short movie, spilling out the juicy part would be spoiling the whole thing. So let's stick to the general topic: it's a scene including a young mother, a kid and a swing. Nope, not telling more about what happens...

What I can say is that I loved it. Frankly, I had no idea what to expect. Okay, knowing Lucie, I was expecting something well done and meaningful. But as to the content, I didn't have a clue. Well, I wasn't disappointed at all. In 9 little minutes, she manages to raise questions, convey amazingly well a strange atmosphere, and all that with very few spoken words.

So... Congrats Lucie!!!

The movie as be selected by two short films festivals :
- Courts devant: Sunday, Oct. 28th, noon, "Cinema des cineastes"
- Ciné Banlieue: Saturday, Nov. 10th, 4 pm at "L'Ecran de Saint Denis"
