Moi-Même (2024)

Lee Breuer · 65 min · Letterboxd ↗

Moi-même is an experimental narrative film shot from 1968–1969 by Lee Breuer and future members of the theater company Mabou Mines. The film captures the journey of a 12-year-old boy attempting to create a film collective amid the backdrop of the May, 1968 protests in Paris. After decades of abandonment, the filmmaker’s son has revitalized the original footage through editing, the addition of a new script, and a complete soundtrack, honoring the original collaborators' spirit while adding fresh perspectives and acknowledging the passage of time.

Moi-Même screens once in London: Close-Up Film Centre, Saturday 7 November at 20:15.
