Riwayat Hidup
Filmmaker, writer and film lecturer Eric Pauwels started his career with what he calls ‘cinéma mémoire’, or ethnographic documentary.
He obtained his PHD in cinematography in Paris with a documentary on the ‘possessed’ in Indonesia.
Afterwards, eager to step out of his role of being a spectator, Pauwels begins to make dance videos and works of fiction.
The latter are so-called ‘half films’: half documentary, half fiction.
But which distance does one keep to one’s subjects? Pauwels’ answer is clear: eliminate the distance and become a subject amongst your subjects.
For him, cinema and life should ideally coincide; fiction should penetrate documentary.
