This short film is screened together with Daguerreotypes

Made for l'Office de tourisme français and dedicated to André Bazin, this short documentary tackles an oft-photographed subject — the beaches and buildings of the Riviera — but is far from a conventional promo film, delving into both nostalgic yearning and the carnivalesque grotesque (including a scene of sexual assault) beneath the bluest of skies.
