My Paris Movie (2011)

For some time I had been thinking about doing something with my Paris footage of which I have many many hours So curator Danièle Hibons suggestion to make a new work celebrating 20 years of cinema at the Jeu de Paume museum came just in time I spent some three months going through my Paris footage and I managed to reduce it to the length you will be seeing two hours and 39 minutes It was very very hard to do so I have so many friends in Paris so many memories and its all on video So this is my love letter to Paris To its streets to the river Seine to its cafes bistros bars to the jambon de Paris and especially to all of you my Paris friends
