Frère Alain – EA5
“Dear Alain, I have now arrived in Florence. So I will have to shoot this film about you, without you, and it’s perhaps best that way. In Florence, the church walls are very familiar with renunciation, asceticism, and saintliness too! Here, I’ll keep a sort of diary (à la Cavalier), as you know how to do so well. In a word, I’ll admire from a distance. And who knows? A reply? Just for me? In words and images?”
Born in 1960, Vincent Dieutre studied art history, then enrolled at the IDHEC film school. He spent time in New York on a Villa Medicis grant in 1989, then turned to cinema, which he regularly teaches at Université Paris VIII, La Fémis, Le Fresnoy and ESAV. Blending documentary and intimist elements, his films are fictional autobiographies drawing on his culture and life (Rome désolée, Leçons de ténèbres, Fragments sur la grâce…) and have received various awards at leading international festivals.
