Synopsis

On the occasion of Nuits Photo 2022, Alexe Liebert, the artistic director of the festival, offered us a selection of photographic films from previous editions. She explains her choices...

Alexe Liebert's word

Transposed into a film, photography becomes matter, an instantaneous memory, malleable and stretchable to infinity; manipulating this photographic memory means understanding where it comes from and what it does. Valentin Sidorenko perfectly and simply illustrates this reflection by projecting himself into his own photographic and family memory, inviting us to question our own family chain of transmission.

Keywords

Photographic Film Experimental & Alternative Photography Creative & Exhibition Photography

Documentaries about photography, and about the people who make it. 
You can try it free for 7 days.

What you’ll find

Portraits of photographers, names everyone knows and others you’ll discover here. Films about street photography, war, fashion or portraiture, about printing and historical processes. About the trades of photography too. And then suggestions for going further, with Focuses, articles, interviews, bibliographies.

A small independent team

Documentaries about photography were rarely shown on television, and hardly at all on streaming platforms. We created The Darkroom Rumour to give them a place of their own. We are a small team, and we choose every film ourselves, with no school to defend.

Inspire your photography

In these films, you see photographers at work, in the field as well as in the darkroom. If you take pictures, you’ll often come away with an idea to try. If you simply like looking at images, you may start to see them differently.

How it works 

You can watch the films online, anywhere in the world, on a computer, tablet or phone, and on TV by mirroring your phone’s or computer’s screen. Every film is available in French and English, with no ads. New releases come out on Saturday or Sunday. The trial lasts 7 days, and if you stop before day 8, you pay nothing.
