Transfiguration (1979)
Carried by chamanics and cosmics vibrations music, this movie present us Aloual, the fetish actor, in a kind of naked and listless semi-captivity. Sustained by bandages, half floating in the airs, arrowed by glances, this St-Sebastian is the heart of a ritual who combine plastic beauty, Chrisitc's dolor and pagan's voluptuous pleasures.

Les métaphores d'Alex (1998)
With an editing engraved as a jewel, this movie is a real neo-baroque manifest. On the one hand, the Seine's sparkling, the Alexandre III bridge's sculptures and the majestic stairs descents of a mysterious personage ; on the other hand, the brilliance of a mirror reveals a lascivious inner space, invaded by art works, strange objects, tropical plants, heavy clothes, in the middle of which sit enthroned the Aesthete contemplating male nudes photos. The crystalline voice of a counter-tenor celebrating Bach perfects the voluptuous feeling emerging from this movie.

La beauté du diable (2006)
The Devil's beauty is first a garden lived by fettereds statues, bodies tensed between sensuality, damnation and sacred. The film seduce by a brillant camera editing as a clear music. In a singular rhythm, images fall down as flights of quavers before a short lull, a shot, like a note...

Mira corpora (2004)
The film appears like a ritual with splendids and crypteds psalms. The Great Master of Order (Marcel Mazé, new fetish actor after Aloual) seduces the young male prey with a running cinema projector which carves Murnau's Nosferatu extracts on their bodies. Metamorphosis, rituals passages, Eros and Thanotos, illusion and reality, film into the film are the themes and images in perpetual osmosis in this Stéphane Marti's opus.

Alléluia (2008)
Halleluia : one of the most beautiful prayers in the world, a magnificent and distributing piece from Leonard Cohen, wavering between the sacred and the profane, suggesting pain, pleasure, lust, and lost physical love ; a mournful eroticism chanted with sensuality and formidable grace by Jeff Buckley, an inspired performer/angel. Hence my deep desire to project my own ritual of images on its spellbinding lyrics. S.M

Ladyman (1976)
Ritual of seduction led by Aloual, principal actant of the filmmaker's first films. This ritual, carried by the rock energy of the divine Lou Reed, accelerates in a frenzied gesture that develops the erotic imagination... Ambiguity of the male nature... gender trouble... This ritual of seduction open to erotics dreams...

Le rituel de Fontainebleau (2000)
This film is built as a funeral ceremony ; it conveys an investigation on the underworld. In an environment of devastated telluric forces (one-hundred-year-old trees from the Fontainebleau forest were uprooted by the storm of 1999 winter). There is a superb officiating priest in a black tuxedo. The film refers to the everlasting cycle of death, the extraction of a corpse by a young nymph remind’s us of Caravaggio’s paintings, this ceremony is full of ablutions and jewellery; a flowy, golden path to a wonderful mirror through which the miracle of resurrection takes place.

Eros mutilé (2000)
Charon’s black cab, the Sleepwalker’s dreams, a vanishing star, the broken stain glass of the Crucified, scattered roses. This is an incantatory ritual dedicaced to Eric Bossé, a stunning boy sharped as an archangel with whom I spend a long period of my life. In my first films, his listless presence was irradiative. The fierceness of his troubles finally overcame in 1996 when he was 33.

La cité des neuf portes (1977)
Filmmaker and teacher, Stéphane Marti has been researching experimental cinema as an art form liberated of aesthetic codes and the economics of big budget cinema. His work is primarily focused on the themes of the sacred and the human body. An avid supporter of the Super-8 format, he has been fighting for its merits as a tool. He has used this format film after film and has been sharing his experiences with new filmmakers during his workshops at the Sorbonne’s College of the Arts (Paris I).

Le veau d'or (2002)
Between music and silence, a pale boy handsome as a statue by Canova and a flamboyant black boy in a ritual photographed by Marcel Mazé. With the presence of a Michel Journiac's self-portrait sculpture, votive offerings of sacred skulls and crucifixes, dried flowers, Monique Delvincourt fragmented mirrors, Louboutin heels, images of the assoluta Diva and a sound re-articulation of Gounod's Faust by Berndt Deprez.

Jardin privé (2000)
A mediterranean garden dulled in a hot summer afternoon. The camera twirl around like a wasp and, into the burnt super 8 images fragments, we discern, among stones and scrubs, erotics photos in which Bacchus spirit is blowing and who invite to wake up senses ...

Michel, the Magisterium of the Body (1996)
A barocco environment inspired by shared desires and fantasy (that led to the co-writing of Corptrass, a scenario by Michel Journiac and Stephane Marti in 1980) shelters fragments of the story, passion and doubts of the master of Corporal Art.

Climax (1983)
The paths of eight characters brush against one another, collide, avoid one another, attract one another or clash in the texture of a Super 8 ballet film. Climax attemps to transalte the sensation of a nightmare which, by nature evades reality, fiction and even memory to engrave syncopated, brief, distorded, repetitive and obsessive pictures in our brains. These pictures are those of a murder fantasy.

Oratorio (2008)
Through the lyricism and the baroque energy of the famous Christmas oratorio, super-8 pictures with a prevailing black colour catch in a jerky way an elfic trio of merry male accompplices wandering through the Père Lachaise cemetery. Some sentences taken from ‘Le Dictionnaire de l’Amour’ by Dominique Noguez make their complicity clear and are used as a counterpoint to the ballet of their loitering.

Purple Kiss (2011)
A seraphic creature named Vyva - both Queen of Sheba, Moon Pythia, Spider-Woman and Mary Magdalene - offers kisses, caresses and jewelry to a man coming out of her dream box ... and who could be Jesus. Bewitching and sacred electroacoustic music, incantatory gestures, murmured texts, deliciously supersaturated decor of precious objects. Everything clicks, in visual and sound volutes, for an invitation to the Purple dream.

Les amants rouges (2009)
Powered by the performances of sexy boys and girl (and a mischievous photographer) and texts by Dominique Noguez, punctuated by a musical lyricism that combines classical Arias, dandy rock and bewitching Arabic chant, this film is conceived as a long poem allegorical about beauty, desire and death. Allegory intensified by the vertigo of the transgression, the mysteries of the sacred and the images of Baron Van Gloeden, Jean Genet and Michel Journiac, masters of funerary eroticism and body’s fury.

Sweet (2004)
Gestures are full of sensuality, colours are intense, pleasure of the Super 8 and a dizzy feeling remind us of dreams.

Une aurore sans fin (film manifeste) (2011)
In this film-manifesto, set to music by Berndt Deprez, Stéphane Marti condenses 35 years of creation. Placed under the sign of experimental cinema, as defined by its most brilliant historian Dominique Noguez, the excerpts of many films, re-articulated in a new continuity, constitute a real introduction to the baroque and sensual world of the filmmaker and a reflection on his practice. From Corpress (1975) to Purple kiss (2010), this film is also a celebration of encounters with its "actants", true moments of grace "engraved" on silver film (super 8 and slides) and digitally hybridized.

Sur mon cou (2009)
Extracts of Le Chant d'Amour (1950) by Jean Genet, absolute fetish movie-poem, are screened as moving tattoos on a lying body who surrenders to bites of sensuousness.
