My movie is born first in my head, dies on paper; is resuscitated by the living persons and real objects I use, which are killed on film but, placed in a certain order and projected on to a screen, come to life again like flowers in water.

Secret cinema found beneath Paris
In September 2004, French police discovered a hidden chamber in the catacombs underneath Paris’ chic 16th arrondissement. It contained a full-sized movie screen, projection equipment, a bar, a pressure cooker for making couscous, a professionally installed electricity system, and at least three phone lines. Movies ranged from 1950s noir classics to recent thrillers.
When the police returned three days later, the phone and power lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor.
“Do not try to find us.”
