LOVE’S DEBRIS (POUSSIERES D’AMOUR) European Union Film Showcase

“This film is based on the deeply held conviction
that everything we express through
the voice is the ‘product’ of our quest for
closer contact with another person, with
love and every possible expression of
love. In order to verify this fundamental
idea, I invited singers to the Abbey of
Royaumont, to create situations and provoke
debate between them and their companions
… [in] planned situations which
‘resolved’ themselves through music. I
chose the location of the shoot, originally
a 13th-century abbey founded by St.
Louis, to give a poetic and dramatic
dimension to this filmed stylistic composition.
-Werner Schroeter
