WHEN I WILL BE DICTATOR is a 'science fiction documentary' constructedfrom hundreds of reels of amateur super 8 film.
When I will be dictator is a non-autobiographical project: and if, atthe other end of the universe, worlds are being born every secondcontaining other possibilities for our lives?What would all these lives that I haven’t lived be? Adventurer,psychopath, perfect mother, chief accountant, invisible man?
Upon this fictional pretext – which functions in as many chapters asthere are parallel worlds – the film nonchalantly unreels the story ofGeorge; how we met, his madness and what he probably became in anotheruniverse. The deeper issue at stake in the film is mourning, how todeal with this hidden labour.
The images are woven together from amateur 8 mm and Super8 films –from the 1940s to the modern day, tangling threads of fiction anddocumentary, the real and the fake, mine and other people's, comedyand drama…
