DÉTAILS DU FILM DOCUMENTAIRE RÉALISÉ PAR JEAN-FRANCOIS
EVEN - CO-PRODUCTION AVEC TETSUO HARADA
PROPOS de Jean-Francois EVEN
Passionné depuis toujours par l’Asie, et surtout par la vie, c’est
en Chine que j’ai fait la majeure partie de mes études universitaires,
d’abord en y étudiant l’histoire et la littérature classique,
puis en y obtenant une maîtrise en écriture scénaristique et
dramaturgique au département d’art de l’université de Wuhan.
J'ai pu ainsi découvrir les grands auteurs du théâtre classique
et de l'Opéra de Pékin mais aussi les grands écrivains chinois
modernes. Grâce à la découverte et l'expérience intime de cet
autre pôle de l'expérience humaine, j'ai pu revisiter ma propre
vision du monde en me nourrissant d'une pensée qui était alors
pour moi totalement nouvelle. C’est en parallèle de ces études
que j’ai commencé à écrire et réaliser des courts-métrages. Par
la suite, j’ai eu la chance de travailler comme assistant-réalisateur,
chef opérateur, monteur et même producteur sur des films documentaires,
dont plusieurs longs-métrages documentaires cinéma du réalisateur
Chen Song (陈颂) ; l’amour du cinéma et surtout du cinéma documentaire
ne m’a alors plus jamais quitté.
Après ces années d’expérience en Chine, j’ai décidé de rentrer
en France pour me consacrer à la collaboration cinématographique
et artistique entre la France et l’Asie. J’ai ainsi pu avoir la
chance de travailler comme producteur exécutif en charge des projets
asiatiques au sein du studio d’animation français Knightworks,
un studio ayant travaillé avec des créateurs tels qu’Alejandro
Jorodowsky ou encore Sylvain Chomet. Ce fut une expérience extrêmement
enrichissante qui me permit de travailler sur une grande variété
de projets.
Suite à cela, j’ai réalisé mon premier long-métrage documentaire,
le portrait de l’artiste sculpteur franco-japonais Tetsuo Harada.
Cette co-production franco-japonaise aura connu de nombreux rebondissements
et m’aura demandé trois années d’efforts, mais le film sera achevé
en août 2020 et sera sur les écrans français en février 2022.
Faisant suite à ce projet, j’ai décidé de concrétiser un projet
sur lequel je travaillais depuis 2015, un film documentaire inspiré
de mon expérience en Asie et nourri de nombreuses images du quotidien
en Chine, Corée et Japon pris entre 2015 et 2019 dans le même esprit
que le film Sans Soleil de Chris Marker. Il ne s’agit pas d’un
film documentaire classique ; mais plutôt d’un essai cinématographique
sur la question de l’âme, une poésie filmique sur une quête initiatique
d’identité, un film sur l’utilité de l’inutile, sur l’union du
réel à l’imaginaire, une création sur le lien universel, ce fil
ténu qui lie ensemble les sensibilités humaines.
