- During eight years I filmed, in her village in Italy, Ede Bartolozzi which suffered from the Alzheimer's disease, I filmed what was disappearing. I was aware of it. She was aware of it. Attracted by that « minuscule life » I filmed Ede, the closer I was getting to her, the more that « minuscule life » was growing. Ede and her daughter Paola were sharing an extraordinary love. This movie shows this love in their village within family, friends, neighbors, bodies embracing, faces and hands talking. A testimony of what will remain, the immense joy of living and having loved. I am filming life since I am eleven years old, trying to hold it. *** Filming is for me very close to what Annie Ernaux says about writing, "To write is to pay attention in a different way to the others, places, time and oneself." It's what I call asylum, as shelter, refuge, and the fruits of this asylum are the rushes of what I film. Watching the world with my camera, detailing it carefully, patiently, listening to it, is a way to keep on learning, inventing, loving; an obsession to save the memory of what could be missing later.
