Meet us at the IDFA Forum !

For those who are attending the forum of International Documentary Festival in Amsterdam next week - an opportunity to meet ! Benoit will be there from monday 24 to thursday 27, with trailers and more, including some new images of the shoot for A Great Day In Paris we had last week - get in touch to make arrangements !

Another Great Day…

Ricky Ford - the famous american saxophonist - lives in Toucy, a small village about a half hour from Paris, with his wife Dominique and their children. A year ago Dominique and Ricky started an art gallery there, and since they met with Philippe Lévy-Stab on the day we took our group picture in montmartre and shot the trailer, it was only a matter of time that Philippe would have an exhibition in Toucy !

Toucy is located near Auxerre, Burgundy - a small typical french town, with its open-air market and warm atmosphere.

The exhibition opened last saturday with many of Philippe’s beautiful portraits of Archie Shepp, Bobby Watson and many more, including one that Philippe took of Ricky in NYC while they were there together last summer!

For the occasion Pianist Bobby few and Jack Gregg “à la contrebasse” - both old friends of Ricky’s - came too, and played all afternoon. Many other friends came by and shared views, a moment together and a glass of champagne!

We , of course, shot all day with the Ford family and friends - and it all ended up in the village church, for a - warm, despite the buiding’s temperature! - solo concert of Ricky!

To be continued…

Photo exhibition, concert, and a bit of shoot…

Philippe Lévy-Stab - the famous Jazz photographer who took our group picture in June - will be exhibiting in Galerie 14 in Toucy - a Gallery recently opened by Ricky Ford in the small village of Burgundy where he and his wife dominique live. The exhibition will be opening on saturday 8th of november, and on the occasion, Ricky will be playing in the small church at 9pm - special guests to be expected ! Of course, Michka and her crew will be there too - ready to put the whole event on tape ! For all info :
