After directing films about violin player Théo Ceccaldi (Corps à Cordes, 2018) and Joëlle Léandre
(Affamée, 2019, and Duende, 2023), director Christian Pouget embarked on a two and half year project, involving 22 multi-generational musicians from Europe, America and Japan, displaying their art in solo situations and musing on life, music, creation, inspiration, the ghosts of Ayler, Cage, Coltrane, Scelsi, ancestral chant, Noh theater, racism, resistance, rebellion, subversion, and the search for freedom in improvisation.
The sequences were shot in France, Spain and Italy, in unusual locations. There is no concert footage;
everything was specifically staged for the film.
Releases in October.
