| Summary: | What ever happened to Jean Rouch's 2CV ? In 1995, after many years of collaboration, anthropologist-filmmaker Jean Rouch gave me his old 2CV that was broken down on the parking lot of the Musée de l'Homme in Paris. I managed to put it back on the road and use it. In 2004, after Jean Rouch's death in Niger, I moved to Amsterdam with the car, but it soon became too rotten to circulate and I dreamt to be able to fix it. It happened in the first weeks of 2021, when its reconstruction, as well as the ethnography of the small world around that car, became the object of my fieldwork for a Visual Ethnography Master's degree in Leiden University. Exploring the concept of bricolage, the film narrates this adventure through several characters encountered along the way. |
