La Folie Almayer est l'adaptation faite par Chantal Akerman du premier roman éponyme de Joseph Conrad ; Une histoire de passion, de perdition et de folie quelque part en Asie du Sud-Est que la cinéaste est partie tourner en 2010 au Cambodge. Présent sur le tournage, Sopheak Sao a filmé la cinéaste au cœur de son travail dans la végétation exotique et dans les eaux noires d’un fleuve qui ne semble mener nulle part. Les images qu’il a filmées ont, après un archivage de dix ans, été montées par Marwan Montel, et montrent combien le travail formel et esthétique prend le pas sur l’aspect narratif dans le travail de la réalisatrice belge. Une véritable plongée au plus près de l'artiste, et une occasion exceptionnelle de se glisser au cœur de son travail.
Marwan Montel (né à Istanbul en 2001) est un monteur et réalisateur Français. Suite à ses études à l'IAD en Belgique, d'où il sort diplômé en montage-scripte, il réalise un film documentaire d’archive sur le dernier tournage de fiction de Chantal Akerman.

The Polish word “obsada" means "film cast” but can also mean "working party" - it connotes the distribution of work positions as well as placing of a plant in the ground. Wendelien van Oldenborgh’s obsada, is a collaboration with an all-female film crew, who are at the same time the film’s cast. It is an attempt to propose non-patriarchal narratives and methods of work. Involving a group of MA and PhD students from the ?ód? Film School, the change they strive for does not consist simply in replacing men with women in film production; rather, the work develops in an open and improvised process – sensitive to the context of the place and the polyphony of the team. The women’s individual and collective experiences resonate with locations in the Film School and in Muzeum Sztuki in ?ód?.
Wendelien van Oldenborgh develops works, whereby the cinematic format is used as a methodology for production and as the basic language for various forms of presentation, collaborating with participants in different scenarios, to co-produce the script. With these works, always shown in specially developed architectural settings, she shows widely in the art and museum context. Recent solo presentations include: unset on-set at Museum of Contemporary art Tokyo (MOT) 2022/23, tono lengua boca at CA2M Madrid 2019-20; Cinema Olanda, at the Dutch Pavilion in the 57th Venice Biennial 2017. Her work was recently included in Sonsbeek 20->24, Arnhem 2021; of bread, wine, cars, security and peace… at Kunsthalle Wien, 2020; Chicago Architecture Biennial 2019, Singapore Biennial 2019.
Marwan Montel, using never-before-seen footage shot by Sao Sopheak on the set of Chantal Akerman's film "La Folie Almayer" in Cambodia in 2012, examines a film in the making, and the possible a posteriori view of such a process. At the heart of Chantal Akerman's work, through lush vegetation, on the black waters of a river that seems to lead nowhere, or at the moment of the tragic denouement. Wendelien van Oldenborgh works with an all-female crew, both on the set and as the film's protagonists. For these female students at Łódź Film School, the change they aspire to is not simply about replacing men with women in film production; rather, the work develops in an open, improvised process - sensitive to the polyphony of the crew, context and location.
