SYNOPSIS

French Under the Artillery of Motors is a documentary essay set in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, a heavily militarized rural state that still bears the scars of an unresolved 50-year conflict. The film weaves a portrait of these locals who are rooted in the rhythm of agriculture and who, faced with the growing military occupation of the territory, silently claim their right to an identity of their own. This war no longer concerns them.

Having had the opportunity early in his career to work with established experimental filmmakers such as Karl Lemieux, he grew up with the desire to create narrative and documentary works with an experimental approach.
