La Maison de la radio

Making a film about a radio station doesnt sound like the most visually compelling of projects. How many takes do you need before the acoustic transition from the opening to the closing of a door is perfect or the reader’s voice correctly modulated? Nicolas Philibert has accepted the challenge to portray that which cannot be seen. Shouldering his camera, he spent half a year wandering the endless corridors of Radio Frances round house on the banks of the Seine where he filmed people who dedicate themselves utterly and meticulously to their work.
