New Caledonia, affectionately nicknamed « Le Caillou » (the pebble), is an archipelago located in the heart of the South Pacific Ocean, and where many artists have decided to settle.

At the behest of the New Caledonia government and the Centre de Rencontres et d’Echanges Internationaux du Pacifique (CREIPAC) specialized in the organisation of French immersion stays in New Caledonia, French photographer Clotilde Richalet Szuch went out to meet Caledonian film-makers who tell their visions of both the world and of New Caledonia, a unique territory between land and lagoon.

Clotilde Richalet Szuch photographed them in locations each has chosen for their sentimental values. These photographs tell the story of the relationship between each director, New Caledonia, and cinema. For once, these sensitive souls go from behind to in front of the camera and reveal themselves to the public for the exhibition Film-makers from New Caledonia.
