Niece of Senegalese auteur Djibril Diop Mambéty (Touki Bouki), Mati Diop wowed audiences with the genre-bending Atlantics, becoming the first Black female director to win at Cannes. This, the atmospheric, visionary debut short that inspired it, is rich with suppressed histories and emotions.
Directed by the great Cahiers du Cinema critic and unsung member of the French New Wave, Luc Moullet, Less and Less in just under 14 minutes joyfully deconstructs the role machines play in the world today.
Based on an unfinished script by Luc Moullet, this wildly innovative hybrid doc explores the infamous inventor of Aaton movie cameras, so beloved of the Nouvelle Vague. Director Isabelle Prim uses this as a jumping-off point for exploring the wonders of cinematic innovation from analogue to digital.
