A Better World by Sacha Feiner

Soundtracks

A Better World by Sacha Feiner

2013 – 24 minutes

Directed in 2012 by Sacha Feiner, a Belgian talent who rose to fame with the short film Gremlins Fan Films, A Better World follows the misfortunes of an intelligence agent after the fall of a totalitarian regime.

Alexandre Poncet’s music was initially intended to expose the rigidity of this dystopian universe before shattering it. A piano waltz in the middle of the projection illustrates the loneliness of the central character, and his final exile is accompanied by an orchestral suite that moves from anguish to transcendence.

Alexandre Poncet and Sacha Feiner will reunite on Last Door to the South, an animated short film that won a Magritte in 2016.

About the film:

Henry, a zealous citizen of a ruthless dictatorial state, has always given himself body and soul to his work at the Ministry of Denunciations. But suddenly, the regime collapses, seeing overnight the transformation of this cold, technocratic, paranoid world into an idyllic, caricatured expanse of green, singing, free fields.

Director: Sacha Feiner

Starring: Vincent Kohler, Damien Marchal, Jean-Marie Barbier…

Genre: Fantasy, Science fiction
Country: Belgium / Switzerland

Executive producer(s): Panache Productions, La Cie Cinématographique

Prince of Darkness : the Dédo show

Bonus

Prince of Darkness : the Dédo show

2015

Alexandre Poncet has created several modules for the collector’s edition of Prince of Darkness, published by Free Dolphin Entertainment.

In the first bonus, Dédo looks back on the creation of his show and explains the development of his second, Killing Joke.

In another supplement, Dédo and Navo, co-author of the Bref series and director of Kyan Khojandi’s shows, discuss the stand-up scene in France and its evolution since the 2000s.

The third bonus finally allows Dédo to look back at the genesis of the web-series Vu par ~~Dédo~~ un con, several episodes of which are included on the disc.

About the show:
After having set the stage of the Jamel Comedy Club on fire, find Dédo in his first show on DVD on June 2, 2015 Dédo comes to devastate… The Gymnasium theatre, with its show Prince of Darkness! Want to see a man breathing fire and juggling chainsaws?!? Well, let’s go to the circus then… But if you want to see stand-up comedy that talks about the melting of the ice, the problem of orbital stations once the speed of light has passed, and the true color of tomatoes before the Middle Ages… It doesn’t exist. On the other hand, if you want to see a guy with long hair, a metal fan, talk to you about the 93 (a french area around Paris), cinema, old age, his vision of the couple or the true color of tomatoes before the Middle Ages, then go for it, because he will do it!! Except for the true color of tomatoes before the Middle Ages.

More Dédo !
