Or Anything at all Except the Dark Pavement
Théodora Barat
Presented only in theatres
This film is part of the program Rien à voir : Filmer le vide, l’absence, l’invisible
Or Anything at All Except the Dark Pavement is a travelling platform in two moments. At first a night-breakthrough in the city. It becomes blurred, the darkness succeeds it. Elements of direction appear proposing another bright landscape. A vision fantasized over landscapes from roadside.

Production
Théodora Barat
Théodora Barat is a visual artist, filmmaker, and researcher. She was a resident at the Villa Médicis in Rome in 2021 – 2022 and teaches at the École des Beaux-Arts in Nantes. Combining film, photography, and installation, she focuses on the various manifestations and incarnations of the techno-capitalist paradigm — the foundation of our “modern” societies. With Pay-Less Monument (2018) and Off Power (2021), Americium is part of a series dedicated to the destructive exploitation of certain territories and the interconnection between capitalism and energy. She thus questions the functionalized artificial landscape and dissects modernist chimera to reflect on our future. Her work has been presented in various institutions in France (Institut pour la Photographie Collection Lambert, Cneai, Nuit Blanche, Friche Belle de Mai) and abroad (Villa Médicis, Rome; K11 — Musea, Hong Kong; Emily Harvey Foundation and Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, New York; CAC Vilnius). These films have been featured in numerous international festivals (IndieLisboa, Cinéma du Réel, Les Rencontres Internationales Paris / Berlin / Madrid, Coté court) and are distributed by Light Cone.
