Color Grading

The Art of Color grading

It is never only about putting a signal at the good level of luminance and chrominance. It is never only about getting the same level on images from different cameras. It is never only about adjusting shots one by one so that they technically or visually "match", searching an ideal coherence. It also involves reworking the cinematic matter, its details, its grains, its shininess, taking into account its potential, but also its limits. It is also often to guide the eyes of the spectators or to let them wander around in a decor. It is also sometimes, one last time, looking for the most appropriate aesthetic for a film, a scene, a character. It is also always taking care, one last time, of a person’s or a character’s good looking, of his appearance and skin color. It is above all to help the narration, to accompany the music and the sound of a film, to put a final layer of painting on images sometimes already very strong, sometimes still so fragile… Color grading is all that at once, and a thousand things more !

JEUX DE BAL

For the past 20 years, every July 20, on the eve of Belgian National Day, thousands of people have gathered at the Place du Jeu de Balle in Brussels. It’s the “Bal National”, a unique celebration halfway between festival, carnival and family reunion. The event brings together people from all walks of life, who together define the contours of a certain “belgitude”. Jeux de Bal takes you right to the heart of this joyous collective experience.

Immersing himself solely in family and personal archives, films of parties and travels, the confined director takes his impetus, questions the images, frees the sound memory, and travels through time and space.

They are between 10 and 20 years old. They come from different places and backgrounds, and don’t know each other. And yet, in 2020, they have all experienced the same “crisis”, that of “covid-19”, that of the suspension of time and landmarks, that of the shrinking of space, relationships and the world.
Filmed on location in schools and youth centers, 7 groups reflect, with their teacher or youth worker, on what is happening to them.
It’s a dialogue that weaves between them, a dialogue about their shattered lives and the strangeness of the present, but also, very quickly, about society as a whole. Social inequalities, political and police management, the media and information, citizenship, the relationship with oneself and others and, ultimately, the future are at the heart of their reflections. They invite us, in an almost imperative way, to question the world we propose to them and the way we accompany them in it.

THE LIFE AND STRANGE SURPRISING ADVENTURES OF ROBINSON CRUSOE
WHO LIVED FOR TWENTY AND EIGHT YEARS ALL ALONE ON AN INHABITED ISLAND AND SAID IT WAS HIS

  • DIRECTOR : Benjamin DEBOOSERE
  • CINEMATOGRAPHY: Hans BRUCH Jr.
  • COLOR GRADING : Laura PERERA SAN MARTIN
  • PRODUCTION : Untitled Production
  • WITH : Oriana IKOMO, Bernice LEMING, Blanche PEMBE

  • PRICES & SELECTIONS : Official selection – International Film Festival Rotterdam 2023
This film addresses the larger cultural myth that has grown from the premise of Daniel Defoe’s propaganda piece “Robinson Crusoe”: a white man ‘civilising’ indigenous inhabitants of an island, and claiming the territory as his own property. In a time today when the call to decolonise the artworld and its associated institutions has never been more urgent, Benjamin Deboosere’s cinematic intervention resonates with a large body of work seeking to destabilise and replace the ideology of imperialism. The result is a singular, subversive film, satirical and surprisingly charming at the same time, which makes sure to pay just as much attention to animals and the natural world as to the follies of human-constructed ‘anthropocene’ history.

This video was made to be integrated in the theater play Les papillons de nuit rêvent aussi  (written and staged by Jean-Louis Cousseau, 2018). This play is about Pannonica de Koenigswarter, scion of the Rothschild family and famous jazz patron in the United States during the 50-60’s.
The theater play : An actress and 3 musicians launch into a suite of variations inspired by Pannonica de Koenigswarter’s life. On the background of projections photo and video, the four artists create various forms of exchanges between words and musics; between past and present, also. Because beyond the testimony on the one that we called « the Baroness of the jazz », this musical play is about the world of today, about the fragile place of the artistic creation in the contemporary society, about the necessity of being oneself.
