Je Changerais D’Avis

Video, 2000. English, French, German, American Sign Language. 5 minutes.

“S'il n'y avait qu'une chance, une sur des milliers, pour te garder, moi, je la prendrais!”

How do you say “I love you” in the information age? A desperate French love song is filtered through simultaneous translations, web cameras, and weather reports.

Je Changerais D’Avis was first screened at the Splice This! film festival in Toronto in 2000. Its gallery première was at the Art Gallery of Ontario’s Video Primer exhibition of 2001. The video won the Wand 5 prize of the Stuttgarter Filmwinter in 2001.
