CHRISTOPHE AVERLAN

welcome !

The city as a set, its inhabitants as the characters, and the daily situations as a source of inspiration. I try to figure out what the character's moment is about. It might be pointless, changeable, (sur)realistic, foolish, in love, magnificent, unbearable, passionate or funny. Without judging, I try to reveal the character in a moment of fragility that moves me. I try to reveal the unspoken, the silences, the accommodating lies, the hurtful or soft words... It doesn't matter. I'm making movies, writing, telling stories, about the meeting between human beings through glances, words, silences... It's all about recreating a moment of truth, whether it is from here and now or deeply engraved as memory from another time and space. When I work with actors, I try humbly to transcribe the intimacy of each of them, their secrets gardens with faithfulness and without indiscretion.

I'm happy to present you my body of work on this website where you will find my movies, plays, workshops and other works. I work with different forms. The essence is always the same.
