Following a pilot issue published in 2024, FIDMarseille is launching issue 01 of its annual magazine, Fidback. Each issue, divided into 4 sections (retrospectives; perspectives; carte blanche; portraits) paints a constellation-like picture of cinema over the past year. One image among a multitude of possibilities. A constellation, because it is up to the reader to create the image by drawing lines between the films and between the texts.
For this issue, carte blanche was given to art critic Clara Schulmann, who dedicated it to Marseille-based artist and filmmaker Pauline Curnier Jardin and her film Lucciole (2024), recently added to the CNAP collections (Moving Images section). Through an illustrated text transcribing a conversation between the two women, Clara Schulmann explores the artist’s relationship with Italy and the genesis of Lucciole, as well as her works Explosion My Baby, Fat To Ashes and Qu’un Sang impur.
To celebrate this publication, FIDMarseille is organising a launch party on 4 November at the Cinéma La Baleine, with Pauline Curnier Jardin in attendance!
This is an opportunity to (re)discover the artist’s unique universe through the screening of her four films and a beautiful text to read in the magazine.
