Lafoxe is a live sound-on-film performance duo,
Gaëlle Rouard and Etienne Caire play with two customized 16mm projectors.
This performance is a game of disassembling conventional narrative mechanics. Irreverent and free handling inflicted to films and projectors turns over the spectator. He's the witness of the collapsing narrative pretext and find himself projected in the very matter  of the cinematographic process. 
A cinema whose ultimate transformation is definitively not placed  on the film.

Étienne Caire
Etienne Caire runs the Atelier MTK in Grenoble where he teaches DIY film processing, contact and optical printing and editing.
-
He is particularly attracted to abstract animation, the pleasure of physically modifying images on the film via twisted and other chemical treatments frowned on by professional labs.  He pushes the possibilities of the emulsion to the edge. 
-
The material produced in the laboratory becomes a work of improvisation integrating all the parameters of projection.  By means of prepared projectors, he applies severe treatment to the projector and plays with the film and the homemade optical sound on film to create a real visual music.
