Le Rêve d'Abel Gance

Directed by

Érik Bullot

Composed of images and music produced with artificial intelligence, The Dream of Abel Gance explores the poetic imagination of filmmaker Abel Gance through his "crystal-house"—a hybrid space serving as a laboratory, film studio, and neural realm. Inspired by his writings on cinema, the film weaves a virtual temporality that allows us to envision the filmmaker’s forgotten utopias and dreams. The archive has become speculative, breathing new life into the long-standing promises of the Seventh Art.
