SYNOPSIS
Mulhouse, a city of endless possibilities.
Anne-Sophie Tshiegg, with her platinum-blonde hair, drives through the streets in her black convertible. She is alone. All around her are the massive red-brick buildings of an industrial wasteland. She is heading to a place: Motoco. A young woman full of spirit, Kiki, is waiting for her. Here they are, walking down a long corridor. They both know how lucky they are to be part of this one-of-a-kind artist residency. Because here at Motoco, 150 artists experiment and work every day with complete financial independence, thanks to the perseverance of Martine Zussy, the venue’s director.
After studying history and art history in Strasbourg, Robin Hunzinger went on to study film at Jussieu under Jean Douchet, Jean Rouch, and Bernard Cuau.
Since then, he has been making documentary films exploring history, war, the traces of memory, humanity confronting the unthinkable, and nature. He is a home filmmaker. He writes, reads, re-films, scans, crops, retakes, records, edits, and re-edits. Often alone in his studio in the Vosges.
Among his major films are “Où sont nos amoureuses,” “Vers la forêt de nuages,” and “Le recours aux forêts.”
His films have been screened at numerous festivals: Cinéma du réel (Paris), the Etats généraux du film documentaire in Lussas, the International Film Festival Rotterdam, the Thessaloniki Film Festival, the Beirut Film Festival, FIGRA…
He has received three SCAM Stars (2007, 2008, 2018), as well as the Grand Prize at the Traces de Vie Festival in 2008, the Ahmed Attia Award at MEDIMED in 2011, the FREEDOM International Prize at the Luxor African Film Festival, the Special Jury Prize at the Cannes Pan-African International Film Festival, and Best Documentary Feature Film at the Martinique International Film Festival in 2016, as well as the 2019 Educational Film Prize at the International Educational Film Festival (Evreux).
