Les Origines du Monstre - Film - 25min - 2025
présenté dans le cadre de l'exposition Panorama 27 - Simultaneité
In autumn 2005, a mother tries to comfort her young son, distressed by his old brother’s temporary absence. Torn between the silence of the adults and the growing presence of his ima-ginings, the child tries to understand this enigmatic departure while confronting the shadows it leaves behind. This film is rooted in a deep need to break the silence, to revisit a foundational flaw in my personal history. I felt the need to bring these scattered pieces together, to reconcile perso-nal and collective memory. This dialogue between the imaginary and the real becomes a way of piecing together an emotional and historical puzzle, of bringing to the surface the images that I have missed so much.
At the heart of the film is a fable, one that the child I was once believed. A story shaped by a mother’s love, by her silent efforts to protect her children from the fate that befalls every working-class neighbourhood. This act of fiction becomes an act of transmission. The narrative unfolds in places steeped in memory: the family home, the scene of our joys and fractures, witnesses the transformation of my parents, but also police intrusions and the withdrawal of institutions. It is here, between past and present, that the heart of the film is played out.
