St\u00e9phane Breton was born in 1959 in Paris. He lived several years in the mountains of New Guinea to do is job as an anthropologist. He found there barefoot people, armed with bows, whose language, humor, greed and disputes he has learned. From that he makes his first film,\u00a0Eux et moi\u00a0(2001), in which, watched by the ones he’s watching, he endorses the role of the “good savage”. See and be seen will become the thread of his next films shot in the streets of Paris (Le monde ext\u00e9rieur, 2007), in Kirghizstan (Un \u00e9t\u00e9 silencieux, 2005), in New Mexico (La maison vide, 2008), or in the Siberian Russia (Quelques jours ensemble, 2012, and\u00a0Les for\u00eats sombres, 2014).
The French filmmaker St\u00e9phane Breton made waves in visual anthropology in 2001, exploding the pseudo-neutrality of ethnographical observation with his film\u00a0Eux et moi, shot with the Wodani people in New Guinea. Since this rebellious film, the trained philosopher has continually observed the specific way those in remote parts of the world experience the concept of time. His work is a profound reflection on the art of looking at others and, thus, at oneself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
