 La galerie du Jeu de Paume à Paris, organise un cycle de films de Ben Rivers du 14 au 26 Novembre 2023. Cette première rétrospective française de grande ampleur du travail de Ben Rivers ne cherche pas moins à récapituler l’une des oeuvres les plus importantes du cinéma contemporain qu’à profiter de sa puissance régénératrice. La présentation de chacun des programmes du cycle a été confiée à une autrice ou un auteur de fiction de renom, qui lira le texte que lui a inspiré la sélection de films projetés — texte qui donne par ailleurs son titre à la séance. L’ensemble de ces écrits forme la matière d’un recueil de nouvelles, publié par Fireflies Press.
