How did Philippe Blanchard become Philippe Katerine?

Longtime friend and filmmaker Gaëtan Chataigner has known and followed the French singer, actor, and visual artist for over forty years. Through the sequences, we discover a nonlinear artistic journey where humor, poetry, and tenderness prevail. Beneath the surface, it is also the story of a male friendship imbued with softness.

From a small village in western France to a performance where he appears nude and painted blue before cameras worldwide during the Paris Olympics, the film offers an unprecedented immersion into the world of this unique artist.

Film-Copacabana is a hybrid short film highlighting Rio de Janeiro's most cinematographic neighborhood. A young woman sets up a beach chair on a sidewalk in Copacabana, and as if in front of a movie screen, watches what is in front of her. From then on, an essay film about the everyday life of the neighborhood unfolds.

 

Workers, residents, tourists, dogs, statues, shop displays, and other elements come together in a tropical urban symphony, with a soundtrack ranging from classical to contemporary. Through its editing, the film offers a humorous yet critical narrative on the country’s most famous neighborhood, highlighting especially the workers who carry it.
