Mètis

The film presents a unique meeting of minds between two sculptors, showcasing their studio as both a workspace and a conversational hub. It invites viewers into the foundry, revealing a darker, more primal creative environment filled with sparks of inspiration.

Mètis intertwines the sculptural process with evocative imagery from the Mediterranean, including Cistercian architecture and ancient Greek sites. Holy Week processions in Sicily also feature, enhancing the film's exploration of culture and ritual.

Françoise Lebrun’s readings of texts by Empedocles and Bataille add a philosophical depth, blurring the lines between clarity and confusion in the artistic journey. The film challenges traditional forms and expectations, compelling viewers to reconsider the relationship between art and its origins.
