Gaël Badaud

At the age of 32, Gaël Badaud inaugurated a period of intense creativity (drawing, poetry, vocal music, film), after experiencing a constant wandering and struggle for survival, which marked him for his entire existence. Retired from his parents (gypsy mother and Breton father) by the Public Assistance when he was 4 years old, he was placed on a farm with a foster family. But this tormented being feels different in this environment foreign to his nature. At the age of 20, he left Loire-Atlantique and moved to Paris. Ten years later, in 1976, he meets Teo Hernandez, with whom a fruitful exchange takes place. He becomes the interpreter of the filmmaker's films, which, teaching him to read and write, allows him to express his sensitivity. In return, he shares with him his experience of "life in a vacuum". From their collaboration are born Liberté provisoire (1977), Gaël (1978) and Tables d'hiver (1978-1979) - filmed by Téo - who give us the keys of their relationship, and the achievements of Gaël, filmed, according to his mentor, "According to his personal gaze, without worry of any school or any conceptualization, cinema abrupt in the sense that it irrupted without rhetoric in the field of the filmic. Cinema away from the recipes and which proposes a new look, that of the innocence ".
