In 1969, the painter-sculptor Daniel Pommereulle made his third film, this one financed by Sylvina Boissonnas. Although only a short, Vite was one of the most costly of all the Zanzibar productions. It features, for instance, shots of the moon taken by a state-of-the-art telescope, the Questar, that Pommereulle first saw while visiting Marlon Brando in southern California in 1968. In Rohmer’s La Collectionneuse, Pommereulle and his friend Adrien philosophize on how best to achieve le vide (emptiness) during their summer holidays. Three years later, Pommereulle would transform the word “vide” to “vite” (quickly), signifying his profound disenchantment with the aftermath of the revolution of May ’68. —Harvard Film Archive

At its heart, Bleeding Memories is a story about sisterhood — about how, no matter the hand you are dealt in life, it is the people around you who shape what that life becomes. The film weaves together two contrasting narratives: one exploring grief and loss through cancer, and the other capturing youth, resilience, and sisterhood within a neglected household. Inspired by the idea of “the seven minutes of life,” we aim to create a moving and visually compelling story that reflects on memory, love, and what truly stays with us.
