Bonjour à tous!   De grosses difficultés, financières (mais pas que...) ont bloqué l'avancement du film (qui y était presque en nov 2014...!) Nous allons nous remettre une petite semaine en montage (décembre ou janvier), sans argent, pour voir ce que nous pouvons faire! (raccourcir le long-métrage...)   Je vous tiendrai au courant!!   @ bientôt, avec un film... j'espère!   Virginie )))

Chers tous,   Tout d'abord, désolée de mon long silence...   Nous sommes toujours en montage (après avoir déjà monté plusieurs films...) mais nous avançons bien! Nous avons des temps morts, où nous devons, Hélène et moi, travailler à côté pour gagner notre croûte...   Mais, quand même, une bonne nouvelle, une aide du Val de Marne, permet à la prod de prévoir plus sereinement la sortie du film!   Prochaine étape après la fin du montage (plus le son, plus la musique, plus l'étalonnage...), une projection au CNC, pour l'instant prévue en juin, pour tenter d'obtenir l'avance sur recettes après réalisation, budget cinéma important!   Croisons les doigts, cela permettrait à tous ceux qui ont travaillé gratuitement sur ce film soient payés (un minimum en tout cas!)   Sinon, nous allons avec Caroline à Amiens le 12 mars prochain pour une conférence "ArVUE", où nous allons parler de ce qu'apporte le vivant au cinéma et ce qu'apporte le cinéma au vivant! Je présenterai le tout début du film, en cours...   Je vous tiens au courant de la suite! ça ne devrait plus être si long!   @ bientôt pour les nouvelles!   Virginie )))

Chers tous,   Je n'ai pas donné plus de nouvelles... parce que je suis immergée dans le film! Et le temps n'est pas le même... excusez-moi ! Le montage avance bien, nous sommes très contentes de la forme que prend le film ... même si c'est très long! Nous avons environ 60 à 70 heures de rushs (j'ai arrêté de compter...) et le montage atteindra l'heure et demi.   Je peux d'ores et déjà vous annoncer que la musique originale est composée et interprétée par Alexis Potapenko, un jeune guitariste génial qui a de l'avenir!!! Nous avons fait deux sessions d'enregistrement, que du bonheur!!   Nous attendons quelques aides financières, et surtout de terminer le montage pour demander l'avance sur recettes du CNC. L'argent récolté grâce à vos participations nous a permis de payer un peu de salaire pour Hélène, mais surtout de couvrir les frais, matériel, disques durs, transports nombreux...   Quoi qu'il arrive, le film en l'état (montage non définitif) sera projeté dans le cadre du mois documentaire à Sotteville-Lès-Rouen le 21/11.   Nous travaillons d'arrache-pied avec Hélène, pour que le montage soit le plus abouti possible pour cette toute première projection-test. infos: <a href="http://www.atelier231.fr/fr/actualites/683-mois-du-film-documentaire-caroline-amoros-je-suis-une-peau-rougeq-21-nov-a-19h.html" target="_blank">http://www.atelier231.fr/fr/actualites/683-mois-du-film-documentaire-caroline-amoros-je-suis-une-peau-rougeq-21-nov-a-19h.html</a>   Je ne vous oublie pas et je pense pouvoir bientôt vous proposer une projection spécialement pour vous, à Paris, fin janvier ou début février... avec une expérience cinématographique "surprise"... je n'en dis pas plus pour l'instant...   A très bientôt,   kisskiss   virginie )))

Chers tous,   Après une trêve estivale, contrainte et forcée par d'autres obligations professionnelles et personnelles (un peu de temps en temps...), nous voici à nouveau et de plus belle en montage! Cette fois-ci, on va jusqu'au bout! Nous avons déjà bien avancé et sommes bel et bien parties sur un film d'une heure trente environ.   Une projection est prévue en novembre à Sotteville-Lès-Rouen, je vous donne les détails dès que je les aurai!   @ très bientôt pour la suite des nouvelles )))   Amicalement,   Virginie       Dear all, After a summer break, forced by professional and personal duties, here we are back on editing! This time, we go up to the end! We have right now an hour and a half lenght movie. A projection is planned in November in Sotteville-Lès-Rouen, I'll send you details as soon as I'll know them! Friendly yours,   Virginie )))

Chers tous,   Vous pourrez dorénavant suivre les actus du film sur le blog:   <a href="http://jesuisunepeaurouge.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">http://jesuisunepeaurouge.wordpress.com/</a>   Aujourd'hui, premier jour de montage !!   @ tout bientôt sur le blog alors?   Virginie )))

Nous allons pouvoir nous mettre au montage très rapidement (avec Hélène Demongeot, la monteuse), c'est une question de jours! Le temps de mettre en stand by nos autres projets en cours, de nous mettre au point sur le matériel, acheter les billets de train, disc durs etc... et c'est parti! Je vais ouvrir un blog pour que vous puissiez suivre l'évolution de la post-prod! Dès que c'est fait, je vous envoie l'adresse!   Encore merci à tous, grâce à vous, ce film va enfin exister!!!   des kisskiss !   Virginie

Je suis partie en tournage les 15 derniers jours et n'ai eu que très peu accès à Internet! Alors merci infiniment à vous tous qui avez participé généreusement!! Comme vous le voyez, j'ai encore besoin de votre aide, à tous, pour diffuser l'information... Il ne reste plus que deux semaines... Je vous envoie un petit "bonus sonore" au plus vite!   des kisskiss à tous )))   Virginie

NOTE OF INTENT I have been filming Princesses Peluches [Soft Toy Princesses] and their creator, Caroline Amoros, for five years. It is a slice of life of the artist in her environment; in the act of creation, at home, at festivals, episodes of censorship, receiving awards, discussions with programmers or politicians ...   Through a film of a rather light, sometimes burlesque tone, I speak of freedom of expression and I pose questions about the freedom to create. A witness of the evolution of our society, I start from where we are now : the situation of human relations, including withdrawal and social isolation. I explore the relationship between politics and society through artists working in the public space. I show the limits, the borders, the fuzzy zone of diffuse censorship. It comes from everywhere, from artists and policymakers alike. Commercial and political pressures on programmers result in a degradation of any art that contains a message, any subversive art. The partitioning of public space orchestrates this form of censorship: the privatization of places, their monitoring and over-regulation .... With Caroline Amoros, the loss of freedoms that results from this process becomes directly visible. Working most often in the street, this artist is recognized and supported by important institutions, but programming is rare and cautious : is it not a characteristic paradox of our times? I chose this artist because the same questions inspire us. We have similar sensitivities, using different media. The same gentle languor in our creations proves subversive in a world that is constantly accelerating. And then there is empathy. Art is a mirror in which we see ourselves with other eyes. Rémi Checchetto The choice of art to talk about a shrinking world is not a coincidence. A society that mistreats its artists is decadent. What place is left for humans? I question our society on its transformation: the living arts become product, which means we are regressing. The form of the film is somewhere between a feature-length fiction (identified characters who are pursuing a goal, encounter obstacles etc..) and an ethnographic documentary. I tell the back story of artistic creation, with the intimacy born from my omnipresence over long periods. Slices of life, universal stories rooted in the "here and now". I do not tell the story with a voiceover or journalistic interviews: I convey moods, feelings, telling a contemporary story and its evolution throughout the Sarkozy period and beyond ... I propose to the viewer to experience the lives of artists from the inside; the things we don’t usually see: the process of creating, working conditions, social insecurity, also the comparison with other situations such as Sweden, Morocco, Germany ...   THE STORY She is a woman, Caroline Amoros. Fifty, small, rather quiet. Married and has a daughter. She lives in a small village in the Jura. She works. Her profession: performance artist, actress ... committed artist. His work is recognized, she has won the SACD prize three times. Programmers book her, and her creations: soft-toy princesses. At first they are three princesses: Rose, Mrs. Lejaune and Kristin. As in fairy tales, along the way these modern heroines encounter obstacles, pitfalls. Censorship rears its head, in various forms, more or less diffuse. The space for artistic expression shrinks. Will the artist let herself be impressed, deterred? Will she make concessions, accept compromises, pare down her convictions, so as to adapt her cultural offer to the ambient demand? Or will she find new ways, new places to express herself? There is also Miss Dora O'Range, a princess born in response to the censorship of which the artist was victim. Interviewed about it one day by a journalist from France 3 [public television], Caroline proudly proclaims her right to disobedience. The interview is never broadcast. So the film follows Miss Dora O'Range, since her inception, the sketches made by Caroline in her hotel room (Hotel de l'Univers), then her work with a choreographer, her first trials, her battles with tarred oranges from Marseille to Paris and her departure for the luxurious golf courses of Morocco, all the way to the edge of the desert. Another birth, another princess, Blanche. She is more than an additional avatar of the artist; she is a synthesis of several years of work. Princesses are not confined to being characters in a show, because they all have their autonomous existence. Princesses haunt localities before their performances, meet people, talk while shopping. Ms. Lejaune buys toy cars at the mall, to be burnt later. She drinks pastis with the homeless. Kristin goes to the beautician and while she is working carefully on her nails, asks about the employment opportunities in the industry. The lady avoids the question, and asked what color nail polish she wants. Kristin chooses red ... "A savage red! ". So sometimes people get lost a little. When they help Kristin who arranges for her car to break down in the middle of a roundabout, they do not realize at first that they have walked right into the middle of a show. Or conversely, the audience believes that the police officer who intervenes is a character in the show. Caroline’s everyday life also mixes reality and fiction. The dressing room turns into a kind of den of terrorism, there are strings of firecrackers, tests with tar, paper dolls – the work of a visual artist. One day, Caroline in her role as mother, picks up her daughter from school. They leave by car for the Saline Royale for a show of Miss O'Range and during the journey Caroline dresses her daughter in orange, the Mini Miss is born! Caroline and her team travel, leave for an artistic residency. An article read in the waiting room of a doctor, a drink seen on a motorway service area, a phrase heard on the radio that refers to the return of the sound of boots, meetings at demonstrations ... Caroline reacts, inspires, nourishes the fiction of her heroines with our reality. The story reveals a particular geography, that of the public space and its shrinkage. And sometimes Caroline Amoros, whose desire is to touch people, abandons the clutter of a festival to go perform on a roundabout. The destinies of the princesses evolve. Finally, Kristin plays with Kristjan, Icelandic performer. She hires 30 real cheerleaders to perform in Sweden and Norway. To deal with this whole troupe, Rose, the grandmother who eats McDonalds at the border, heading east. Miss O'Range, meanwhile, prefers the Moroccan desert for its luxurious golf courses with their abundant water! And now, Blanche comes full circle ... There is of course also all the characters in this galaxy singular, and the creation of a collective. This story is a series of snapshots, crossings, offsets, echoes that weave the fabric of the work, which draw the path of a contemporary artist. Because if we refer to the definition of Giorgio Agemben, the real contemporary is: "Whoever does not coincide perfectly with the times, nor adhere to its claims and defines themself thus as untimely; but precisely, by this distance and this anachronism, they are more likely than others to perceive their time." AUTHOR  On the occasion of 30 year anniversary of the Jean Rouch International Film Festival (5-27 November 2011), 30 award-winning films are presented, among which the film Sidheswri Ashram. Sidheswri ashram is a Bengali restaurant, located in the heart of Calcutta. We feel, we taste, we are immersed in the steam and frying smells, in the crowd ...     THE PRODUCER  Iskra.fr ISKRA (Picture, Sound, Audiovisual and Achievements Kinescope, "spark" in Russian), an independent production and distribution company, today has a catalog of over 160 films. ISKRA is originally the story of Slon (Service for Launching New Works, "elephant" in Russian). And "Slon” is born of the obvious: that the traditional structures of cinema, the predominant role they attribute to money, themselves constitute heavier censorship than all official censorship. Thus Slon, which is not a business but a tool - which is defined by those who participate in practice - which is justified by the catalog of his films, films THAT SHOULD NOT EXIST! "
