The star system, as much political as filmic, leads us to a journey into images, from Robert Frank to Wim Wenders. Questions about film and the star system here lead us to film objects, then individuals, without defining the problems nor seeking answers in demonstration. In general, the motivation to film stems from a need to make a statement. Hate, envy, love and denial are obvious motivations, and they are but different mediums for images. This is the story of a movie house that does not rely on Hollywood to set its standards.
Claude Chamberlan, le cinéma Parallèle, Montréal, été 1983. fiction vidéographique, périple d'images autour du Festival international du nouveau cinéma et de la vidéo de Montréal. Le questionnement sur le cinéma et le star-system amène les auteurs à filmer les choses, puis les individus: non pas poser les problèmes, mais les voir apparaître! La quête de leur propre histoire commence avec la conscience du cinéma dissident.
