What a Good Place to Be (2003)

Unity of time, unity of place and unity of means: in this short film, "Collectif Chainsaw!" experiments a so-called "Vidéo de Chambre" formula, establishing basic rules for filming in confined spaces like hotel rooms. Second part of the project "Sally Monade", and based on the works from German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, WGPTB is also the first foray of "Collectif Chainsaw!" into separate contributions from its members, and is composed of five segments linked together by a corridor of quivering connections: "Waterproof Hotel" (dir: Marc Tsypkine de Kerblay and Marilyn Leray), "Psychiatric Hotel" (dir: Gaétan Chataignier), "Kama Sutra Hotel" (dir: Federico Pellegrini), "Dos Passos Hotel" (dir: Pierre Vaché), and "All Stars Hotel" (dir: Laurent Mareschal). These films were made for the inauguration of the Hôtel Pommeraye in Nantes. Private film commissioners are rare enough to be mentioned.
