PREVIOUS EPISODES
I didnt have time to brief him on the subtleties of quantum theories but I knew he was capable of completing the mission.
All the films he had unearthed had provided the final element I was missing, a specific place on the time curve :
the Palais des Festivals and Conference Centre in Cannes was the optimum point.
Now, I understood that within these walls, mankind was preparing for a promising future, a long way from the future where I find myself.
EPISODE 8 – FACTION H
Fashion and haute couture also have a strong presence on the Croisette. This evening we prove it on the fringe of the Film Festival :
the man who is capable of dressing Madonna, Bjork, Stevie and even Yvette Horner :
he has opened a new boutique on the Croisette and for the first time, we welcome him to « On a tout essayé ».
I ask you to test, with us, Jean-Paul GAUTHIER.
Not now !
But we’ve got things to talk about !
Later ! Get a move on… stay back and follow me !
An enigmatic, platinum blonde… we can see her everywhere… so we had to talk about her.
Who is the girl on the poster for the sixty-first Cannes Film Festival ? Her name is Anouk and she is a dancer at the Crazy Horse.
The photo was taken by David Lynch.
I was fascinated to start with and I did think, « They are a bit strange !
They’re taking a photo for the Cannes Film Festival where I have my eyes hidden and we’re supposed to open our eyes to watch films ».
But sometimes I think that if you close your eyes and feel things differently – perhaps more serenely, more calmly – that’s not bad either …
For this Sales Festival, Cannes is shrouded in a cloak of light. Façades have become giant screens, like a cinema. The doors of the Palais des Festivals have re-opened to attend – free of charge - the great designers’ fashion parades.
the great designers’ fashion parades.
What did you do with my tapes ?
What’s Faction H ?
OK. I do owe you an explanation. My name is Hope and Faction H is me. Well, it’s only me left now.
There were five of us who wanted to change the course of things. Five scientists who worked on finalising the « Inside » programme.
When we discovered where the machine was, a jump back in time was the only way we could think of to go back, to try to warn them and save the present day.
But you know that project did more harm than good. That’s why it was abandoned.
We realised that. It was the last trip. In any case, the Palais des Festivals is dilapidated ;
the place in the world with the most media coverage was worth a last try.
But it all failed. When we got back, the regulation brigades were waiting for us. I’m the only survivor.
And is that why you came back to delete all trace of your travels ?
I followed the tapes, discovered the archive room, it was quite easy.
In any case, right from the outset, I had no choice. I had to disappear from the past.
What will you do now ?
Disappear forever. Make the journey one last time… one way.
Where are you going ?
To the Palais des Festivals. That’s the only place that bears the conscience for a sustainable future.
The thirtieth anniversary of the Palais… that’s where I must go. It’s a last ditch attempt,
I’m going to try and save the world one last time.
Look around you… What will become of you ? My place is no longer here.
Where are we going ?
To the Palais !
