BEHIND THE EXIT
Documentary -
52 min about base jump
Meddling in the base-jumper community is something rare. This documentary takes you into their private space. Far from the media show off, one discovers for the first time the diversity of practitioners and their disciplines. Unknown, the base-jump appears in a new light thanks to the sharp and unbiased eye of the director.
Structure of BEHIND THE EXIT
The documentary offers an original narrative line. When writing BEHIND THE EXIT, I wanted to experiment with new ways of telling a story. The film is thus organized into three distinct narratives that intertwine. Navigating freely from one to the other, the viewer then finds himself an actor in his own understanding of the film.
The main narrative is only built with the audio testimonies of the thirteen athletes. Intimate and spontaneous, the voice-over revolves around common themes and concerns. This faceless voice then becomes the expression of a community.
In the image, the two other narrations alternate. One, contemplative, follows the story of five completely different jumps. The slow pace reflects the reality of the practice. The other has a purely explanatory vocation and allows you to understand the different sub-disciplines that make up the base-jump.
Les acteurs
La Compagnie Les Divers Gens est née de la complicité évidente, sur scène comme dans la vie, de Thibault Chausson et Armel Morée. La volonté première de ce duo de comédiens et improvisateurs est de créer des spectacles innovants, aussi drôles que touchants, en utilisant le théâtre improvisé comme moyen principal de création et ainsi montrer son infinie richesse dramatique. Ils débutent en 2023 en jouant “Contre Kem’s”, un spectacle de Nabla Leviste et Timothée Ansieau, dans lequel les comédiens improvisent une pièce, alimentée par les défis du public. En 2024, ils présentent leur première création originale “Les Incroyables Enquêtes de Clark et Butterfly”, un projet immersif ambitieux dans l'univers de Sherlock Holmes...
