If we were to identify cycles by the impact of the main players who inspired stories and acted in the films, we could say that there’s the
Camille Cycle, that began in 1993 with the production of the miniseries
The Man From The Moon and ended by 2003 with
Martyr or The Death of St Eulalia with over 35 works. But the one film that began this magnificent road was
Red Feline On The Cross.
Camille, aka Carmen, was not alone during that cycle, her sister Gabrielle, aka Veronique, joined the team and participated in many of those films, including
Red Feline Faces The Inquisition, and many solo films like
CruxBride. She had a leading role in
Martyr as well.
Another cycle began in 2005 with the production of the
NatGeo doc
Outbreak, which was the beginning of a very intense career for Amy as an actress, producer and director. But she also made costumes, built props, decorated sets, and a lot more.
That cycle ended in 2015 with the production of
Justine with some 25 films in its belt.
As with Camille, Amy was not alone. This time a new teammate appeared, Mila Joya, who became an integral part of that cycle and worked in all of the films made then. And there was a crossover too, with Veronique who worked under Amy in
Sirwiñakuy and
Barbazul and had a protagonist role in Jac’s
Dead But Dreaming. Amy’s leaving for the US to pursue other career goals marked the end of the cycle with two productions,
Pygmalion and
Justine. A new actress was in both. Bea.
Ironically enough, a new cycle began with another
NatGeo financed film about the hunting of jaguars in the protected areas of Bolivia. Soon after Jac returned to civilization he directed beautiful Bea in the two cast and crew production of
The Passion of Isabel, which was the first film where Amy was not involved and the first in a series of films where Jac did all the crew work plus acting in them.
Soon after
The Passion of Isabel was made, Dani joined the team and Mila, who right after Amy left also moved on to do other things, returned to begin the new series of films until now.
A high point came when Jac produced
Monxa Mala, with Mila, Dani and some new faces in our films, the one who shone prominently was Simonne, who is now the chosen one.
At the beginning there was Camille and Camille was… yes a
Goddess. Perhaps it was destiny or the universe, of the forces of some kind of divine design, but all roads led to Camille. And it was so simple, a big smile, those pretty shiny eyes, and being at the right place in the right time of the moving of the events on everyone’s life.
We were all there when we could’ve been somewhere else in the planet. We arrived from New York, she arrived from Tours, and that month, and that year.
And things worked out so she would become
Red Feline. And to be totally candid, there was one else that could’ve been
Red Feline and as an extension, Camille in
The Death of St Eulalia, which, in a way it is a
Passion Play where Camille recreates
the passion of St Eulalia which, in a great symbolic way is the recreation of the
Passion of Christ. I can say that she was there, in a poetic and modern version of a
Female Christ. As a matter of fact, at the festival where
Martyr had its premiere, someone in the audience commented as the crucifixion scene in the movie was taking place: “
this is The Passion of Christ with a woman in his place“
I’m intrigued about the comment.
Watering down? I don’t know where in my previous comments did I suggest that Jac is watering down the crucifixion scenes. The three women will walk to the
Hill of the Skull, wearing their loincloths, which, by the way, will not be in good shape. I think the
Female Christ will wear a torn robe of sorts, but I cannot say that for sure. It was a comment I heard or read.
After the nailing and raising up, their loincloths will be removed in a particularly dramatic moment to make a point for the benefit of the curious crowds, which include all the viewers… all of them.
I’m not sure if there will be a
cuerno involved, but I also heard that it is possible that one of them will ‘
sit‘ on her ‘
throne‘. In other words she’ll be impaled on something like a
horn, a cruel sedile.
What is certain is that ALL three will be nailed hands and feet, but maybe the feet will be placed in different positions, to add to the spectacle and for visual variety.
And as far as the fundraising campaign, we’re still working on the
IndieGoGo campaign materials. It will be set up soon.
Camille taught us, and particularly Jac, that the French have a saying, “
every orgasm is a little death“. The expression of Camille suffering on the cross and the expressions she has during orgasm are pretty similar, specially if the pleasure is very high, in one case, or the pain is too intense. When the anointed one and the sisters suffer the agonies of the cross, they will definitely express something like an extremely intense orgasm.
August is nearing its end and with that a change of season is at hand. For those up in the northern parts of the planet, fall will come and for those in the southern hemisphere, Spring!
