MAGIRAMA

The Magirama is made up program of four short films implementing the polyvision system device developed by Abel Gance: Auprès de ma blonde, Fête foraine, Château des nuages, J’accuse. Since Napoleon in 1928, the triple screen has been for the director the means allowing cinema to develop a narrative of its own, engaging the viewer both through image and spatialized sound. With Nelly Kaplan, Gance revisits his J’accuse from 1937 to which he adds shots of Napoleon but also of La Fin du monde to construct the pacifist discourse that has obsessed him since 1918. The experimental story of Auprès de ma blonde and the sensory experience of Fête foraine and Château des nuages complete this manifesto for another cinema.
