"Art is like a spray of pollen, like life itself, my sole reward is to be understood by a handful of people" Jean COCTEAU 03/07/1948 in Les Entretiens sur le cinématographe (Interviews on Cinematography), Ed. Belford (Belford Press) Images harvested in Miles MCKANE's garden, with Mahine ROUHI, when we visited Nantes (for a projection of our film "Tahousse") in May 2007. Memories of a few happy and sun-filled moments in this little garden, both wild and well-ordered, where the beauty of the art of life leaves an ephemeral imprint on the fragile ribbon of a small mini-DV camera. An amateur video, a holiday movie; complicity and friendship. This moment of magic concludes with a clumsily framed shot of a large red tree in the Jardin des Plantes in Nantes, shot just before taking the train to Grenoble.
