Projection du film Rewind and Play d'Alain Gomis (2023 - vost - 1h05 - Documentaire).
Décembre 1969, Thelonious Monk arrive à Paris. Avant son concert du soir, il enregistre une émission pour la télévision française. Les rushes qui ont été conservés nous montrent un Thelonious Monk rare, proche, en proie à la violente fabrique de stéréotypes dont il tente de s’échapper. Le film devient la traversée de ce grand artiste, qui voudrait n’exister que pour sa musique, et le portrait en creux d’une machine médiatique aussi ridicule que révoltante.

Screening of the film Rewind and Play by Alain Gomis (2023 - vost - 1h05 - Documentary).
December 1969, Thelonious Monk arrives in Paris. Before his evening concert, he recorded a program for French television. The rushes that have been preserved show us a rare, close Thelonious Monk, prey to the violent factory of stereotypes from which he is trying to escape. The film becomes the crossing of this great artist, who would like to exist only for his music, and the hollow portrait of a media machine as ridiculous as it is revolting.
