Eddie Palmieri : Rompe Teclas

head_eddie_palmieri
Un film réalisé par Julien Donada - Documentary, Documentary, Short Films

For more than 30 years, Eddie Palmieri has been representing the avant-garde in “salsa” music.
Far remote from commercial compromises, Palmieri follows his own way. He has dedicated these last few years to latin jazz becoming a master in this genre. Palmieri however sticked to the essence of the afro-caribean rythms: the dance spirit.
Five times Grammy awarded, he is nevertheless still considered as an outsider.
This first documentary dedicated to this exceptionnal personnality presents one of the most inspired musicians of contemporary popular music.

    A LA REALISATION

    Julien Donada

    Né à Antibes. Julien Donada est cinéaste et photographe. Le point commun entre ses films de fictions ses documentaires et la photographie : l’architecture, l’urbanisme et donc la ville.
    L’espace urbain est un grand terrain de jeu, documentaire, photographique et fictionnel :
    C’est autour d’une personnalité magnétique de comédien, celle de Daniel Duval, que se construit Beau rivage son premier long métrage. Toujours soucieux de filmer les architectures de façon singulière, Donada pose un cadre étouffant, catalysant les obsessions de son personnage, qui s’invente de toutes pièces un passé. La résurgence d’un temps révolu, c’était du reste un motif résurgent de plusieurs des films courts du réalisateur. (Hôtel Provençal, été 76, (2007), A San Rémo (2003) etc..

    Parmi les films réalisés on notera le LM : « Beau Rivage " (2011), et plusieurs documentaires souvent personnels : « Un sol brûlant sous nos pas » (2022) "Divine Victorine" (2019) mais aussi "La folle histoire du Centre Pompidou" (2017), l’étrange histoire d’une expérience urbaine (2016), la maison Unal (2014) etc…

    Born in Antibes. Julien Donada is a filmmaker and photographer. The common point between his fictional films, documentaries and photography: architecture, town planning and therefore the city.
    Urban space is a great playground, documentary, photographic and fictional:
    It is around the magnetic personality of an actor, that of Daniel Duval, that Beau Rivage is built in his first feature film. Always anxious to film architectures in a singular way, Donada creates a suffocating frame, catalyzing the obsessions of his character, who invents a past from scratch. The resurgence of a bygone era was, moreover, a resurgent motif of several of the director's short films. (Hôtel Provençal, summer 76, (2007), A San Rémo (2003) etc.

    Among the films made, we will note the LM: “Beau Rivage” (2011), and several often personal documentaries: “Un sol brûlante sous nos pas” (2022) “Divine Victorine” (2019) but also “La folle histoire du Center Pompidou” "(2017), the strange story of an urban experience (2016), the Unal house (2014) etc ...
