Two short films. In the first collage, Leos Carax delves into his own work. This is followed by Allégorie citadine (Alice Rohrwacher and JR, 2024), a short film about Plato's Allegory of the Cave and how images can distort the truth.

C'est pas moi: The Centre Pompidou asked filmmaker Leos Carax to answer the question ‘Where are you, Leos Carax?’ through images. The director of Holy Motors (2012) and Annette (2021) then created a free-style self-portrait, full of winks and references to his frenzied work. At the same time, it is a loving tribute to Jean-Luc Godard and David Bowie as well as an examination of the power and politics of image-making.

Allégorie citadine: In Allegory of the Cave, Plato wonders: what would happen if one of the prisoners managed to free himself from his chains and escape from the cave? What if that prisoner was Jay, a seven-year-old boy? After their short film Omelia contadina, Alice Rohrwacher (La Chimera) and photographer JR collaborated again on this imaginative fusion of film and philosophy, with a notable role for Leos Carax. Allégorie citadine illustrates how images - whether shadows or tangible objects - can distort or reveal the truth.
