the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

of

A rich, flamboyant, yet fragile piece with deep and personal touch: Eternal Sunshine goes by like a fevered dream of love, but one you remember vividly, with profound pleasure.

The Science of Sleep A smart and refreshing view of the young and the dreamers: The Science of Sleep tells a thwarted love story that doesn’t trade in the degraded cliches of romance or conventional sexiness.

The Festival Our film festival, The Cloud of Fantasy, will center around presenting our everyday struggles in the mundane realities and offering transient, yet inspiring escapes into the marvelous reveries.

Be Kind Rewind Gondry’s delightful ode to handmade DIY craftsmanship at it’s finest: Be Kind Rewind is a charming, freewheeling comedy about video stores, gentrification, friendship and creativity.

Wandering between dreams and realities is a recurring theme in Michel Gondry’s films. Gondry once said in an interview that “I live constantly with my dreams. They’re part of my memories at the same level as my waking experience.” The fantastic intersection between the dream and the reality not only inspires him to create a fantastic world of films, but also remains an important part of his personal life.

Indigo paints a depressing picture about romance but does so with fabulous style.

The festival will be mainly held at Alamo Drafthouse in Brooklyn during May 18–22, 2021. Our purpose is to commemorate the 20th anniversary since Gondry’s directorial debut and celebrate his marvelous creativity that surrounds his film-making career.

Microbe & Gasoline

Mood Indigo As inventive, sweet and sombre as a Duke Ellington song: Mood

Charming, melancholy, and, in the end, not terribly memorable: Microbe and Gasoline is a minor key showstopper packed with wit and warmth.

Opening Gala Michel Gondry once reminisced on the time spent wandering the aisles of local video store in a documentary project A Cinephile’s Labyrinth. To him, “What’s nice in a small and rich video store is that there is a real contact with the guy who owns the shop…and that’s very inspiring.”

To commemorate the 20th anniversary since Gondry’s directorial debut and celebrate his marvelous creativity that surrounds his film-making career, we decided to begin our festival at Video Vortex, Brooklyn, one of the most well-established video rental store in the city, to offer you an inspirational experience.

Start your film festival experience right by attending our Opening Gala, the best and most unique party of the year. The kick-off event is always a fabulous time, with great food, desserts, and cocktails immediately following the screening.

Gondry’s 20 Music Videos

Mini “Home Movie Factory”

Gondry’s Drawings and Props

The magic of Gondry film-making, where the everyday landscape turns into a daydream, comes alive through some simple ideas, such as shifting perspective and mirrors, stop motion and even reverse playbacks.

The “Home Movie Factory” is an interactive exhibition in which a group of approximately ten people takes on the task of writing a script, casting, and filming, all within a three-hour period.

The collection of music videos presented in this part of the special event series will sure transport you into Gondry’s world. His music videos, in which he manages to condense his thriving ideas into a short-form format, represent the magic of his work at its most essential and potent.

Five film sets will be available to let your imagination run free (e.g. a cafe, a back alley, a train, a forest, an office), and you will use them to create an original short film with the group of people you just met at the Factory. Using various props and costumes, you can direct a love story, or a thriller, or perhaps a romantic horror movie.

The exhibition will present some original drawings and props used in Michel Gondry’s films, including sketches of his latest work “Is the Man who is Tall Happy?”(2013), the mysterious cuisine from Mood Indigo (2013), and the one-second time machine from The Science of Sleep (2006). These objects will definitely stimulate the imagination and will most certainly entertain not only Michel Gondry fans, but also those unacquainted with film-making.

In this event, 20 of his best-known videos will be shown in a unique installation. Your journey through the labyrinthine world of Gondry’s music videos can certainly fire up your own creative powers.

Experience or expertise in the use of film-making equipment is not required, and instructors will be on hand to support you in your creative efforts. If you do not want to participate in the filmmaking process, you’re also welcome to visit the sets and watch the films produced by other attendees.
