In 2010, Jean-Luc Godard shot Film Socialism incognito aboard the Concordia cruise ship. Three years later, the same ship hit the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. Paul Grivas made that trip. A decade later we have Film Catastrophe by Paul Grivas.
“Because the project allows it, and maybe even requires it.
Film Catastrophe was not a premeditated project, it was produced over a period of 10 years, without script.
The film found its way through the editing process, and among other elements, images coming from the internet.
Produced outside of any commercial logic, without any classic institutional support, its’ free and unlimited distribution is both the means and the medium. Giving back to the Internet what it has given me and pursue a resolutely independent approach.
This is why the film will be available via an independent free platform.
To show another possibility of producing and distributing the films that need to be made.
We work at night.
We do what we can.
We give what we have..”
